Dear Blogdesk;
With the thousands of empty churches (for most of the week before weekend ping pong Xians descend for the ritual howydo) the thousands of homeless children of a god (which one am not sure) should be housed in the house of their Cosmic God Daddym unless churchocrats try to block the compossion of their purported invisiblle deity being. With 15 million house forevlosures expected during the impending Depression (which no self serving politicos are going to fix overnight) the church parishioners themselves are going to need to sleep in the churches they built and paid for and not just feel good about giving the occasional stale sandwich to raggedy ann bag lady sleeping in the church dumpster. Vongregations For the Homeless (CFH) tries on the Eastside, but do little to check the agressive homosexuality and petty theft that "slides" by at night where everyone in their shelter has to watch their back. Furthermore the inherent sexism in their philosophy precludes them from opening up just one Eastside (of hundreds) as a safe haven for American homeless women and girls whom I suppose they would rather throw to the pimps in a typical heterophobobic manner. Since Hope;onk-Bellevue divorced and defunded Congregations For the Homeless (CFH) due to internal political squabbles CFH may have to seek Americorps funding to keep afloat. The hidden, discreet food bank abd social services for Bellevues hungry and on the edge is mired in its own "missing" $49 million dollar budgetary scandals (where did the real money go?) and Hopelinks virulent anti-union attempts to stop their personnel from democratically organizing in their own behalf are compounding a crisis which proves that right wing extremists should not be in the social, health and welfare field whatsoever (only it seems to wreck it and deprive their neighbors in need.) Jews in need are treated even more shoddily with the thinly (and not so often) vieled ant-semitism of many of the Christian churches and are turned away from shelters or given the could shoulder upon arrival. Jewish Family Services is overwhelmed and doing its best in the pogromesque atmosphere of psuedo-progressive reactionary republokkkrat seattle-bellevue. Wake up sheeple,,,the gig is up!!!! House the veterans at the empty Sand Point Naval (former) statio. Hundreds of empty a[artments there. Dont let trickles condoize them for the yuppies again. When your momey is gone you'll find most of your fairweather friends are too and that neither you nor they actually had any rreal class (an individual not group quality) whatsoever...the revolution has to be in the churchesm synagoguesm mosques, ashrams and temples infrastructure if America is to survive. Democratizing paid for religion may be the next quantumm leap forward.
