Salvation Army on local wingnut radio was afeard of losing STIMULUS matching funds!1

Today on the local radio wingnut circus, the host, a rabid T-Bagger had fulminated as usual. On Saturdays he wedges in "community announcements". This is basically other 'Baggers in a circle jerk with him. So a top officer from the Army called in and the two of them supposedly know each other well and did their bromance thing, then the Army dude said he was calling to ask for bell ringer volunteers, that it is an emergency because if they didn't raise a certain amount of dough they would LOSE STIMULUS MATCHING FUNDS!!1

It was hilarious because the radio 'Bagger constantly rails against anything under the government initiatives, but he had to swallow this for the sake of his Army 'Bagger pal.

I'm going to call the local Army and leave a message for the dude, pointing out the cluelessness and his hypocrisy. Did they retract their institutionalized homophobia?!1

1. Not all SA'a are equal. Ours is just about helping the local community

and they often get funds from government for projects they bid on. Transition housing comes to mind.

2. Yip, my anecdote was specific to *this* locality, where the radio 'Bagger

rails against anything-OBAMA/government and he and the Army dude went on about how CLOSE they are, so I'm pointing to the hypocrisy of the radio 'Bagger who didn't rail against the stimulus in THIS case and the cluelessness of the Army dude who didn't seem to get the irony of being pals with somebody who is UNCOMPROMISING (his word) against all forms of government initiatives.

Plus, is the Army's homophobia in (non-)hiring a national thing or just in certain localities such as yours or mine? Not being snarky, just trying to focus the points.

3. Unfortunately all units are connected to the ideals of the whole. There

is much wrong with their teachings. Usually that is reserved for their church members only. I have been in there many times and have never been preached to.

4. O.K., so is their hiring restricted "to their church members only" & local or universal? n/t

5. Probably church members only.
