Faith Based opportunism?

[scaeagles]

I think there is a difference between petitioning for the faith based initiative funds - and expecting to be reimbursed for what you have spent charitably.

I would have no problem with some church going to the government and saying "We've completely run out of funds but want to keep helping. We just don't have anymore money to buy food for these people." but have a problem with "are you going to pay us back for what we've spent." statements.

It could very well be that is what is happening on the story. I have no confidence in the media to report anymore. The stories about murders and rapes in the Superdome? Didn't happen. While unrelated, an interesting story on the absolutely incredulous reporting in Louisiana -

It's tough to know what to believe, who to listen to. The media flat out sucks. They all ran with unconfirmed rumors as news because they didn't want to get beaten by another news outlet.

Sorry for the derail.
