I’ll be waiting for the cries of indignation from the MoveOn.org, Daily Kos, and ACLU crowd about the “separation of church and state,” given Obama’s plan to expand on the Bush administration’s faith-based initiative.

Reaching out to religious voters, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama called for expanding President Bush’s program steering federal social service dollars to religious groups and — in a move sure to cause controversy — supported some ability to hire and fire based on faith.

We know that the left will be slobbering over the chance to get their hands on more tax dollars, so regardless of whether or not Obama’s big spending plan is just more of GW’s neo-con, “compassionate conservatism”, they won’t complain. To them, getting their hands on your tax dollars and expanding the sphere of the federal government is waaaaay more important than sticking with any sort of core beliefs.
