My question (for anybody in favor of this initiative) is pretty simple: isn't the term "faith-based" completely empty? Faith in what? Isn't it possible to have faith in just about anything under the sun? What if you place your faith in principles that are completely counter to the Constitution, Bill of Rights, common sense morality, etc.? Should you still have the political support of the Bush administration and federal funding? Just because you have "faith" in something?
Should you now be completely free (by yesterday's Republican vote) to use federal funds to discriminate at will?

the question of hiring practices simply follow from this bigger irrationality, repeat the problems that attend it in general at a particular level.

Seems to be the case, doesn't it?
