Poll question: Would You Vote For A Dem Who Supports FaithBased Initiatives(poll)
Seperation of church & State is guaranteed under the Constitution. Yet million$ of tax dollar$ are being spent on faith-based initiatives. This, as I understand it, is a way to phase out all social services, and the governments responsibility to it's citizens.
Now we hear Dems who have been elected to office & who have their eyes on the WH supporting this unConstitutional activity.

How do you weigh in??

Would you vote for a candidate who supports faith based initiatives?

1. Two words
Actually about 57 words, and the only one that isn't some variation of the word "fuck" is "no".

"Faith-based initiatives" are nothing more than sickening pandering to the Christian Mafia and further degeneration toward the theocracy we seem so determined to have.

3. Faith-based initiatives have no better claim on --
-- aid, assistance, support, or empathy than secular initiatives of the same sort.

The Crusades were faith-based initiatives.

7. So we mostly agree.
So why is it that people who want to represent in elected office us do not understand the values of the Democratic Party?
