I must comment on this post, although I usually try to stay away from religious discussion. This is the conservative take on liberalism that bothers me the most. This assumption that just because we want a separation of religious dogma from our government that it must mean that we don't love God.

I can see my Pa doing the exact same thing this woman did. As a matter of fact, I DID see him do this. He never preached, he wasn't dogmatic, he didn't "witness". He just loved his fellow man more than himself and gave anything he could to help someone in need. He was the best example of a Christian I have ever known!

When I lived in my apartment on Cloverdale Ave., I was approached weekly by someone wanting money for a sandwich, or faced with panhandlers on the corner. I often gave them money and was told to stop by a co-worker. I was told that they probably used the money to buy drugs or alcohol. So I asked my Pa's advice. He told me to do what I felt was right, but that he always gave something. "It doesn't matter what they do with the money. What matters is that you gave and you did a good deed. You showed that person love. God may have put them there as a test."

My grandpa was a Sunday School teacher, a loyal Democrat and a liberal, free thinker. I wish Ann Coulter could have met my Pa. I think she would change her tune.
