Taxpayer AIDS Money Funding the Right
-- by Dave Johnson
Religious Groups Get Chunk of AIDS Money,
President Bush's $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.Billy Graham's son is Franklin, known for saying this:Award recipients include a Christian relief organization famous for its televised appeals to feed hungry children, a well-known Catholic charity and a group run by the son of evangelist Billy Graham, according to the State Department.
"The God of Islam is not the same God of the Christian or the Judeo-Christian faith. It is a different God, and I believe a very evil and a very wicked religion."The other day I wrote about Pat Robertson receiving millions in funding from the government. This is just one more example of how The Party is converting the government into a Republican campaign financing system.

Giving all this money to faith-based organizations has got to be unconstitutional. Not that it's gonna matter with Alito on the court as of tomorrow.
