DTOM,
If the Christian Embassy is not a beneficiary of the faith based initiative I would be extremely surprised.
strangely enough, and in spite of much evidence to the contrary, i don't think that the majority of non-evangelicals really believe that there is a concerted effort by radical christians to take over the government and see the u.s. become a "christian republic".
when my wife and i first got together back in the '80s, i was pointing out to her that i believed that people like falwell, jones, dobson,terry, the crouches were "dangerous". she thought i was nuts, or at least still p.o.ed about all the hot stinkin' summers i had to sit in a cinderblock baptist church (NO A.C. !!) in a wool suit growing up in the south. and that did suck. but it's the way that most people in the south choose to live in that area, so i left. fine by me.
several years ago, she finally admitted that there was more than meets the eye with that bunch.
bushie doesn't even pretend to be balanced about it and has ignored direction from the constitution as he pleases to push his religious agenda..
so yeah, i'd be surprised if the c.e. wasn't wetting it's beak at the faith based birdbath.
