House OKs Bill on Faith-Based Jobs
"The House on Wednesday approved a job-training bill that would allow faith-based organizations receiving federal funds to consider a person's religious beliefs in making employment decisions. Under current law, religious groups that receive federal money for job-training programs must obey civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in hiring or firing."
Oh, we wouldn't want any of that "civil rights" crap to stand between the so-called evangelical christian vote and their partisan payoff, would we? Hell no!
Well, they've set a precedent now... they have to give tax money to religious groups like this... or this... or this..!
My position is that the legislation described in the article is a constitutional violation of the separation of church and state. Aside from the fact that it allows these organization to violate civil rights, if some religious groups receive state funding while others don't, then the state has etablished a precedent of endorsing a particular religion. And that is an ominous step towards theocracy. Or, I should say... another step taken.
Update:
This is why I am reluctant to jump on the Hillary bandwagon.

"Church of Reality"? "Church of Satan"? Hah! Looks like they've got a bit of a problem there. And those "churches" are just the beginning. All I can say is that some people never learn...or learn only through experience. This is a good one. Damned fools...and dangerous ones at that. Give 'em enough rope and somebody--us or them--is gonna hang.
