Tax dollars to fix Sandy-damaged churches?

[Oldguy]

Democrats and Republican's can't seem to agree on much of anything these days, but members from both parties in the House didn't have any trouble getting together to assault the 1st Amendment.

"...would authorize the Federal Emergency Management Agency to make direct grants to churches, mosques, synagogues and other houses of worship “without regard to the religious character of the facility or the primary religious use of the facility.”

This is bad law which the Senate hopefully will reject.

Here's to hoping the Senate let's this bill die.

as long as they dont show a preferance I think its OK.

they are not promoting one over the other.

They are merely helping a community rebuild what it needs to be whole.


Im about as unreligious as a person can get.


I still think they ONLY way to live is to allow people to believe whatever they want to believe.

Giving help to their places of whorship is not out of order to me

Direct grants?

You mean free money?

Bad idea.
