The Faith Agenda
Amos Satterlee -  February 24, 2004

The teaser for the lead article on Salon today:

The White House is pouring money into programs that tell teens to just say no to sex. Most experts say the programs don't work -- except to enrich the religious right.

It ain't about money, honey. It's about belief. Return to faith-based social control where there is no artificial birth prevention, and then we'll know for sure who's been the bad girl.

It ain't about tax breaks for the rich. It's about emptying out the federal coffers the quickest way possible to destroy state supported services and return to social control to the true believers.

And family ain't about family. Family is the bulwark of faith and moral control. Queers, faggots and dykes should be stoned, not given civil protection.

It ain't about the future. It's about jump-starting the Apocalypse.
