SURPRISE! FBI FUNDS THE FAITHFUL:

Grants Flow To Bush Allies On Social Issues: Federal Programs Direct At Least $157 Million (Thomas B. Edsall, 3/22/06, Washington Post)

Among other new beneficiaries of federal funding during the Bush years are groups run by Christian conservatives, including those in the African American and Hispanic communities. Many of the leaders have been active Republicans and influential supporters of Bush's presidential campaigns.

Programs such as the Compassion Capital Fund, under the Health and Human Services, are designed to support religion-based social services, a goal that inevitably funnels money to organizations run by people who share Bush's conservative cultural agenda.

Similarly, when amorality was in fashion money went to groups allied with the Democrats.
