Yes, it must be hard work protecting us from the evils of same sex marriage and abortion, because all the major lobbying groups with a religious slant haven't breathed a word about helping the recovery effort. Crazy, right? I thought religious groups were all about helping the needy, not about machiavellian power grabs in national politics. C'est la vie, live and learn. Here's a list of organizations who haven't breathed a word about fundraising for disaster relief, according to this Working for Change article on the subject:

• American Family Association
  
• Family Research Council
  
• The Christian Coalition
  
• Concerned Women for America (CWA)
  
• Coral Ridge Ministries (CRM) Dr. D. James Kennedy's Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based operation
  
• townhall.com
  
• falwell.com
  

This is seriously very telling. I hope this matter gets more attention. It's humorous to observe how the president bristled when being called 'stingy' by the UN, only to see his constituents look the other way when it's time to actually help the needy. It's even more ironic when you compare them to Apple, an entity which (at least in theory) exists for no other reason than to generate money for its investors. Apple right now has their front page plastered with links to disaster relief sites and implores you to donate to them. Oh, and remember Microsoft, that evil borg corporation? Yeah, they're also putting the fundamentalists to shame.
