Clap your hands and believe real hard

=v= A recent New York Times story (or via bugmenot.com) looks at some political organizations that combine the religious right with crass racial politics -- politics claiming that all Americans who speak Spanish are conservative and support el Presidente Arbusto. These organizations are of course being funded by taxpayers, because they purport to be "faith-based."

Here's a lovely example of our tax dollars at work:

"President Bush is Christian," said Sade Melendez, 10, after a recent rehearsal. "He doesn't believe in abortion, and the other man does."

"John Kerry believes in lesbians," said Jorge Granados, 10.

Kerry presumably believes in Mary Cheney et al because they exist. Poor Jorge Granados, on the other hand, is being "educated" to live outside of the reality-based community, and we're paying for it.
