Ruth Conniff's Blog: Bush should help the poor...

From The Progressive magazine:

"Surely there are conservative, pro-lifer Christians who respond to Bush's Biblical allusions, and who honestly believe in helping the poor.

Bush's budget should turn their stomachs."

Excuse me! Where's the separation of church and state crowd heading now? Shouldn't these Biblical teachings be handled by the private and religious sectors, rather than a secular government?

More seriously, who are they on the left who believe that only government can help the poor? Who are they that require the government tax them, so they can help the poor? It's pretty easy. Find a poor person or a charity you like, open your checkbook, and write a check!!!
