SCREW the Salvation Army. I'm so sick of this hateful

[cboy4]

"charity."

We all know that they loathe honest and decent gay people and want nothing to do with them.

But now there's this little gem, which I know not everybody has heard about:

<...The Salvation Army, which has an English-only policy, had given the women, and all employees, a year to learn English. The two, whose job was to sort clothes, refused. They were fired...>

Big effing deal. They work (or shall I say, worked) for the Salvation Army sorting clothes. They were not goddam Air Traffic Controllers.

This is one of the most un-Christian charities in America.

And I'd rather throw my spare change down a storm drain, than hand it over to one of those bell ringers (people I hold no animosity toward, BTW).

I understand the SA helps the poor, but I'm sorry. Their policies are cruel and despicable.

English-Only Showdown
By JOHN FUND
November 28, 2007; Page A23

Should the Salvation Army be able to require its employees to speak English? You wouldn't think that's controversial. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding up a $53 billion appropriations bill funding the FBI, NASA and Justice Department solely to block an attached amendment, passed by both the Senate and House, that protects the charity and other employers from federal lawsuits over their English-only policies.

But hardball politics practiced by ethnic grievance lobbies is driving assimilation into the dustbin of history. The House Hispanic Caucus withheld its votes from a key bill granting relief on the Alternative Minimum Tax until Ms. Pelosi promised to kill the Salvation Army relief amendment.
