Obama: Faith Based Rules

Yeah, ahem. This is some delightful news for those of us in the crosshairs of the evangelical community. Great.

Taking a page from President Bush, Democrat Barack Obama said Tuesday he wants
to expand White House efforts to steer social service dollars to religious
groups, risking protests in his own party with his latest aggressive reach for
voters who usually vote Republican.

Once you fund them, how do you control them? How do you hand a fist full of dollars to an entity that is entirely premised on conversion and then expect them not to convert with those dollars? It makes no sense and it serves to hurt a lot of people.
