Instead of giving change to homeless people directly, San Francisco wants you to give it to the government so they can distribute it. And we all know how quickly the government will get that money to the poor.
Dear Panhandler, instead of eating today, the government has decided that you will eat two weeks from Thursday.

"What's the conservative solution to the homeless problem?"
Faith based initiatives which liberals have fought so hard against.

The conservative solution to the homeless problem:
Make more homeless.

So... what would that entail? Praying until you're not hungry anymore? Praying until a roof is built over your head?

What about the Jewish homeless? Would the faith-based initiatives cover them, or would a conversion be required?

Faith Based Initiatives, what a joke...

"Faith based initiatives which liberals have fought so hard against."
But aren't faith based initiatives basically, government distribution of funds anyway? What's the difference between a faith based organization waiting for funds from the government to be distributed to them so they can run their social programs, and the government directly distributing the money, without going through some faith based organization? The money is all coming from the same pot.

Posted: 5/14/08 at 1:06pmI think Conservatives have lots of innovative ideas to deal with the homeless, from reclassifying them as "the temporarily unhoused" to eating their children as food.

I didn't say I agreed with it, I just said that was the solution they proposed.
The point being is that it seems like liberals want to control everyone's lives and it usually is part of some plan to include the government as the distribution center.

Posted: 5/14/08 at 1:33pmIn the case of SF, the money collected goes directly to already-functioning institutions. I think this is a wonderful idea. I'm not sure how anyone could think it was a bad idea.

Yes, it's true. We liberals want nothing more than to have control over your lives. As far as I know the plan is to round you up, put you in some sort of detention centers, based on your social/economic/religious background. And do reparative therapy on you until you realize that the "choice" you made to be other than liberal can be over come through denial or your true self, and support of a single payer health plan.

When I think of 'faith-based initiatives', I think of how the Salvation Army handled distribution of their 9/11 funds.
And it's the LIBERALS who are supposedly trying to control people's lives?!?!?

So how come these already-functioning institutions are not already helping these people? What's the point of fueling money through these places if they aren't solving the problem?

Maybe a little less praying a little more reading of the article you linked to would answer that question.

Posted: 5/14/08 at 2:44pmThere are lots of institutions in place to help the homeless that do a lot of good in their communities. I'm not sure what you're complaining about. If you want to directly give a homeless person a dollar, nobody's going to arrest you.

Sure. It's LIBERALS who want to mandate who you can marry, control your reproductive system, decide what is suitable for you what to watch on tv or listen to on the airwaves and even what kind of birth control you're allowed to use. Gotcha.

"Gotcha."
Actually not.
Marriage and reproduction are to guarantee that someone is there to pay for your Social Security. Conservatives want to make sure there are people around to do that.
As far as what you watch or listen to, it's the liberals that are pushing the Fairness Doctrine which basically forces broadcasters to broadcast things that may not help them fiscally.

And it seems the conservatives want to control everyone's lives and it usually is part of some narrowly-interpreted Christian-based plan regardless the existence of the actual Constitution.
