They are quick to run, jump and skip to "defend" the unborn and squeel about life and killing innocents and yet they don't want a red dime spent on feeding a poor, disenfranchised child. They are quick to run and support death penalty, they are quicker to run and support a war...any war, just point them in the direction of a war and they will swear that they are ready and willing to run in naked into it to defend their God-given country.
This article encapsulates their hypocrisy perfectly...
Christian Hypocrisy From the Religious Right - Leslie Marshall (usnews.com)
Will the religious, self-proclaimed Christian right EVER stop their hypocrisy? Why don't you self-proclaimed Conservatives on USMB speak out against such blatantly hypocrisy on your side?
The article makes claims which are not supported.
I happen to be wired into the charitable network in my area.
I founded and ran a non-profit in my spare time for many years. Due to my work in that organization, I was asked to join the board of another non-profit and happily accepted. We are rapidly ramping up to continue the work I did with the previous organization. None of us are paid to do this.
As a result of these many years of providing help to those in need, I have become intimately familiar with both private and taxpayer-supported organizations.
Both public and private see their share of scammers. Some organizations do a better job of due diligence than others. There is one large private organization here that I see being scammed on a large scale, and it is very frustrating to me so see them being taken advantage of so unnecessarily. They could easily fix this with a few simple adjustments, but for whatever reason, they don't. I have spoken to them, and they know they are being taken advantage of, but they do nothing to stop it. It is very baffling.
I think at the base of this reluctance is a desire not to embarrass people by making them prove just how bad off they are, but I don't know for sure.
On the flip side, I know of a public organization which does really outstanding due diligence. The people receiving aid from this organization are in truly desperate straits, and it is virtually impossible to scam this taxpayer-funded organization.
As for my own charity, I am the king of due diligence. The bar is very high to receive aid from us. We exist to provide assistance to people who are in crisis through absolutely no fault of their own, with a special focus on families with children. The reason I require hard evidence of their situation is because it only takes one case of someone ripping us off, and our donors would start to abandon us. We are organized in such a way that every single penny they donate goes to the people helping us, with our overhead paid by other means.
The idea that the Religious Right is hypocritical in their charity is easily debunked by observing the incredible generosity that comes from them on our level.
I personally don't believe charity is an either/or proposition. Either private or public. I believe charity works well when both are in harmony with each other.
In times like these, there is simply more need than can be met by the private charities.
Hell, even the public coffers are being stretched to their limits.
A handout is a temporary solution to a much bigger problem. Our legislative infrastructure is destroying the free market and creating more poor people.

Your projections onto me of your latent homosexuality is quite normal for evangelical unmanly types like you. You surely don't want your parishoners to find out, do you?
