Faith Based opportunism?

After weeks of prodding by Republican lawmakers and the American Red Cross, the Federal Emergency Management Agency said yesterday that it will use taxpayer money to reimburse churches and other religious organizations that have opened their doors to provide shelter, food and supplies to survivors of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

FEMA officials said it would mark the first time that the government has made large-scale payments to religious groups for helping to cope with a domestic natural disaster.

Sorry, there are so many problems with this. They're clearly trying to buy back the Bush doubting ultra conservative religious leaders of this country. It's sickening what this administration tries to do while the whole country is distracted. I think the ACLU should step in. As a card carrying member, I'm going to do my part and write a letter and make calls.
This is amazing. Yet Christian conservatives in this country will say that their rights are being taken away and that they are in jeopardy. Uh, not when the government (both houses, the Supreme Court, the Bush Adminsitration) caters to you like this...
