Samaritan’s Purse is wonderful. So are local food banks. No more SA for this evil YT.

It’s long been my observation that the left continually looks for rich foundations and other organizations to infiltrate and control. Once there are enough of them in the hierarchy, they begin to “steer” the organization and it’s money toward the left’s favorite charity, itself. One only needs to look at the likes of the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation, etc. to see what they wrought.

I don’t know where these people get the ideal that God cares about groups much less race. He is a personal God who wants a relationship with each individual person.

1. Identify a respected institution.
2. Kill it.
3. Gut it.
4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.

Hmm, beginning to think this is a planned event to take down a Christian organization.

It’s so sad that the Boy Scouts were taken down by such lunacy, and now the Salvation Army is on the road to ruin.

The left only knows how to tear down and destroy that which is faithful, beautiful, charitable, joyful, familial, wise and precious. They create nothing of value, are steeped in anger and hatred, and embrace death instead of life.

Yesterday, one of my elderly relatives sat in the car while I ran into the supermarket for a few minutes (about 15).

He had a good view of the Salvation Army kettle and was watching it - said not a single person put a single thing into the kettle - and this was during a very busy time for the market.

Any doubters now? A hidden agenda is now obvious, and there is no redeeming way back.

You get it. They did RATs bidding and sold their souls out. Now they are digging deeper for some RAT bailout dough. They have become an evil entity.

The Salvation Army is hosting a two-day racial justice forum in Illinois in an effort to “help alleviate the pain of suffering humanity within our communities...


Racial justice is the whole purpose of the organization.

Just like like many corporations and govt.

IT IS NOT ABOUT INVESTORS OR CUSTOMERS.

The biggest tragedy of this is the tens of thousands in true need, who would normally be helped by the SA, will now be impacted negatively.

The SA had the love and trust of a good, giving nation.....and they threw it all away so that some of their officers could claim to be socially aware.

FOR SHAME!!!

I sincerely doubt the nation’s trust and good will can ever be regained.

The usual SA Christmas collector at my local grocery store is the loneliest guy on the planet right now. Nobody even gives their Merry Christmas wishes to him this year. I feel sorry for the guy but I think the total avoidance is necessary right now.

I don’t remember for sure, but I think it was William Buckley, himself himself, who pointed out that any organization that is not specifically conservative will drift leftward over time.

I hate the stupid bells, but I often would give some change at the local Walmart ...

I always liked the bells. They were something I associated with Christmas and the holiday season in general. Now I will always associate them with woke leftists.

So sad to watch another tradition die. This time by suicide.

“The salvation Army pushed away the very people who financially support them ...”

The Salvation Army declared war on the people who financially supported them.

As soon as those “very people” get the word, SA will be crushed into oblivion.

Good post.

I view it as a leftist zombie attack on an institution.

They consume it and turn it into a bloated oozing smelly mess.

The Salvation Army gets money from Fedzilla and state governments

If that's the case, then diversity training was probably a condition for the grant money.
