Are "faith-based initiatives" an example of a small-government philosophy?

[Scam of God]

You know they aren't. I know they aren't. How many FREETHINKING REPUBLICAN LIBERTARIANS!!!!!111!!111! are willing to go on record saying they are?

Not sure what you mean.

And, did you switch parties?

[Scam of God]

Not sure what you mean.

I mean exactly what I mean: are "faith-based initiatives" as practiced by the Bush and now Obama Administrations, which are the paying of public moneys to religious organizations for "charitable work", consistent with small-government, classical liberal rhetoric?

Not only does it not jive with small-government rhetoric, but the idea of public funds going to religious institutions is unquestionable theocratic.

And why did you change your avatar to L-IL, Einzige?

So as to better represent myself in relation to my State. Rest assured I remain a Democrat.

No, but if we are having non-faith-based initatives we might as well have faith-based initiaives too.

Why are you singling Republicans?

[RosettaStoned]

Of course not.

Fait Based initiatives have been around even before bush, but our last president simply made them more religious.
