W has donated more money to aids research and prevention in africa than anyone before him,anyone.maybe he didnt use it like maybe you would have but thats a personal problem.
A third of that money is spent on faith-based abstinence-promotion organizations.
PEPFAR was smaller in its ambitions â?? only 15 countries were targeted â?? but much better funded, with $15 billion promised over five years. The Global Fund's biggest donor had proven itself capable of promising huge sums of money, but they would not be going into the Global Fund. Tobias tried to stem the ensuing wave of criticism by claiming that the organizations could work together. But it soon became clear that they had fundamentally different missions. PEPFAR enthusiastically endorses the so-called "ABC" approach â?? Abstinence, Be Faithful, and Condoms. The program gave President Bush an opportunity to scale up from his $10 million abstinence crusade in Texas (where there is no evidence it worked) to a billion-dollar version in Africa (where there is new evidence it's not helping.)
Other republicans are working to stop funding to clean needle exchange programs.

"I believe that God wants me to be president."
--According to Richard Land, as quoted in "Understanding the President and his God"
"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

The same moral tradition that defines marriage also teaches that each individual has dignity and value in God's sight.
If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier...just as long as I'm the dictator.

"I wouldn't pick a judge who said that the Pledge of Allegiance couldn't be said in a school because it had the words 'under God'' in it. I think that's an example of a judge allowing personal opinion to enter into the decision-making process, as opposed to strict interpretation of the Constitution."

Thou shalt not kill" is pretty universal. (School) districts ought to be allowed to post the Ten Commandments, no matter what a person's religion is.

I appreciate that question because I, in the state of Texas, had heard a lot of discussion about a faith-based initiative eroding the important bridge between church and state.
