Government and Charity

Should the Federal Government be in the business of charitable giving? Since liberals are not noted for charitable giving they think so, at least to insure their liberal programs oriented toward abortions, same sex alliances, environmentalism, welfare, the arts, and "family planning" with billions of tax dollars every year provided by the Federal Government.

From the FRC website: "To the dismay of people across the political spectrum, the White House has asked for a 20% reduction in the amount that upper-income people can deduct from their taxes for making charitable donations. This is a killer to convervative values and support for conservative causes which seem far from the mindset of our members of the legislature.

If the provision passes, the White House would be well on its way to replacing the work of churches, nonprofits, and social service agencies with more government programs, which studies have proven to be a poor and ineffective substitute. Americans should be outraged. If there's one place that doesn't need our charity, it's Washington.

Start thinking ahead to the next election. We need people in Washington that will vote to get the Government out of the charity business, to allow people to support their causes and not the Government. We need a grass roots effort to build a strong constituency for reform and legislative reason where our elected officials consider the role of Governement and not the charitable giving that their liberal supporters are not capable of doing on their own. The liberals want support from the government for themselves - welfare, health care, mortgage modification, etc. - and their causes - abortion, same sex marriage, the 'arts', philosophical thinking, liberal education, and more. This is not the role of a well structured Government. We need better leaders. Obama is changing nothing, or better still he is changing everything, but not for the sake of all Americans, only the liberals. Work for a new base to enter Washington in the future or accept socialism.

Say this prayer: "In Jesus' name, we humbly beg for God's mercy and forgiveness, we beg Him to send forth a spiritual renewal and in doing so, heal our Land"
