Christian right's compassion deficit

[juliagoolia]

More than 100,000 dead in south Asia, but it's business as usual at the web sites of America's Christian right organizations


It took President Bush three days to ready himself to go before the television cameras and make a public statement about Sunday's devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck southern Asia. Even though he was late, and much more money will be needed, the president pledged at least $35 million in aid to the victims of the disaster. But, as of December 30, some of the president's major family-values constituents have yet to be heard from: It's business as usual at the web sites of the American Family Association, the Family Research Council, the Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family, Concerned Women for America, and the Coral Ridge Ministries.

1. Well I see the 700 Club is asking for donations

To operation Blessing, Pat Robertsons phony relief agency. His plane is mainly used for his diamond mining venture in Liberia, but on one of it's few charitable trips it delivered a bunch of outdated artificial sweetener, and non dairy coffee creamer to starving refugees.

Yep, business as usual.

2. Yup.

Not a single compassionate bone in their bodies.
