I know it’s un-Christian to feel this way, but apart from the Salvation Army and local church drives, my charitable giving is way down this year.
Obama is their lord and master; let Obama feed and clothe them and stuff their Christmas stockings with Obama phones.
Why should I give my money to organizations that support the people that vote out American values every time ? Organizations like Red Cross. Why donate? We got Obama’s FEMA right?
In my area, charitable organizations and universities are the repositories of liberals between elections.
After living in the same town for over half a century, it suddenly occurred to me that I didn’t know a single person that had benefitted from the money that United Way, Red Cross, etc. had been collecting for all that time. Frankly, if Mr. Obama decides to disallow charitable deductions for tax purposes, it suits me. I’ll be glad to see my church ungagged, too. I can’t help wondering if ministers and priests will have the courage to speak out on their real convictions, once the IRS restraints are gone.
You can give to the Heritage Foundation, the Acton Institute, Samaritan’s Purse, Voices of the Martyrs, and Live Action all for a tax deduction. These aren’t charities for leeches, but ones that go to truly great causes.
Oh, and don’t forget the Boy Scouts!
