Community Organizers=Bad; Faith-Based Initiatives=Good?
Hasn't Karl R. Palin opened a huge can of worms attacking community organizers? After all, who do they think is in charge of all those fantasy...er...faith-based initiatives that the RW and the Xian nut jobs so love?

Faith-based initiatives ARE community organizations BY DEFINITION.

A-holes.

And, SO McCain - shoot from the hip without a care in the world for how things will look 12 hours later in the light of day, away from the Repuke kool-ade drinkers and floating around the marketplace of ideas.

1. They're not mutually exclusive for one thing...

Of course the republicans were never big on making much sense.

3. ban them all - make them illegal
Ban ALL Community Organizers!

From Gov. Mitt Romney, Mayor Rudy Guilliani to Gov. Sarah Palin - Community Organizers are bad. After listening to them I'm convinced community organizers are bad and should be banned.

When a local church group knocks on my door and asks for donations - I will slam the door in their face. When the Salvation Army rings their bell at the corner, I'll kick over their kettle. If the Elks, the Moose, the Rotary Club pleads asks for help with a community project, I will spit in their faces.

If there are donation cans at the cashier counter in my local store which ask for help for someone in need of an operation, I'll pass it by. If my neighbor has a house fire, I'll tell them tough luck - you are on your own. When a hurricane hits, I won't send money. If there's another 9-11 - too bad, I won't give money. The Red Cross wants blood donations? Sorry - YOU ARE A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!!!

When the local Veterans Organization asks for items to be sent to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan - they will get nothing from me. Schools - don't call on me to help with a bake sale or a car wash. Hey Girl Scouts - don't bother trying to sell me cookies. Boy Scouts - forget the aluminum can drives. Those cans are mine and you can't have them.

I also call on the Republican Party to formally admonish themselves for postponing their convention to take part in community organization activities by helping people in the path of Hurricane Gustav.
