Re: [Pen-l] new frontiers in pandering

I'm thinking through my next blast at Saint Barry, but I have to

say this is one of the less or non- egregious of his heresies.

The U.S. social welfare system is shot through with the participation

of religious groups, has been forever.  People tend to focus on the

big income-transfer programs and gloss over the plethora of

direct services provided.  As a writer on samefacts.com points

out, the Bush innovations included providing money to groups

for proselytizing or merely to bolster their own political base,

both illegal and not on the Obama agenda as far as we know.
