It is meant as a shot at President Bush, I'm sure. I have also taken my shots at President Bush.

An informed citizen would watch more than Fox News. What is it called when government takes tax payers dollars and gives it to churches for "faith-based initiatives?"

Taking money from taxpayers for any reason other than a legitimate purpose of government is wrong and unconstitutional. Taking tax money for a charitable purpose or to give to a church under whatever trumped up reason is wrong. However, no one has stopped it because this is the kind of thing that liberals like. This is the gradual liberalization of the Bush presidency. This comes from listening to liberal complainers and trying to do things to appease them instead of shutting them up by doing what is right.
So...I think it wrong to give tax money to churches. I think it is wrong to give tax breaks to churches. I think the government is wrong to use tax money for any other than a real purpose of government: to defend the nation, to keep the roads and national parks, to pay government employees and other things along those lines. It is not to give endowments to the arts, to fund Planned Parenthood, to pay able bodied people who choose not to work or who have become disabled by their own drug abuse, to make charitable donations, or to subsidize any religion.
Understand?
