I note that many Civil Rights organizations are leading the opposition to President Bush's Faith Based Initiative. What is their stake in Faith Based Initiatives? ?

Politics and Money my dear pastor. That is why President Bush need to abandon this idea of making the government user friendly for Faith Based Organizations. We need to look to the Lord for help not another government program. Most Civil Rights organizations hold their alliance to the Democratic Party. Ninety-nine precent of anything President Bush offer will be opposed by the Democratic Party. Why? Because simply they are the opposition. It is now up to the other side to show just cause for this initiative. If President Bush was smart he would have been more silent and brought help to his friend through the back door.

They're just playing their part as the opposition. It doesn't matter what Bush proposes they'll be against it. But before we're too hard on them, the Republicans would do the same thing were the positions reversed.

This is why I can get away with only a minimum amount of watching the media. I already know what everyone's going to say ahead of time. Whether it's Yasser Arafat, Tom DeLay, Jesse Jackson, Jesse Helms, you insert the name, I know 90% of what they'll say ahead of time. Why watch the same thing over and over?
