Obama's Faith-Based Initiative

Here is a criticism of Obama's Faith-Based Initiative by someone Brian might remember.

I don't want my tax dollars to support religious causes. Knippenberg does.

I support Obama's plan for federal funding of faith-based initiatives. Many, including me, will not support such a plan that allows tax money to be used to advance particular religious views. Why not go with a plan that more Americans can support?

If shifting welfare programs from government bureaucracy to private organizations is important to conservatives, they shouldn't complain when a Democrat wants to do exactly that.

Obama is not asking anybody to surrender religious freedom. And if an organization doesn't like the conditions, they can turn down the federal dollars.
