Issue 9.18: Cunning Lingle

What Governor Linda Lingle told 400+ people at the Hawai'i Faith-Based and Community Initiatives Conference on Oct. 17, 2005:

October 27, 2005
"We need you as our partners. We need your help. We need your commitment. We need your passion."

What she didn't say:

Lingle and President George W. Bush, who since 2001 has moved billions of taxpayer dollars to religious organizations, are actually on the verge of solving the most ancient question of all: which is the one, true religion? It stands to reason that of all the "faith-based" groups competing for taxpayer dollars, the one that really has God backing it up will inevitably beat out the rest. Would God really allow his (her?) religion to come up short at the public trough? I think not.
