i think they might regret that one. . .

From the Chicago Tribune:

“Kim Bobo, executive director of Interfaith Worker Justice, says:

‘Contrary to Palin’s disparaging remarks, organizers have major responsibilities for creating policy changes. Feeding the hungry and housing the homeless are clearly responsibilities of people of faith. We do that by providing food and shelter and more importantly, by organizing to address the causes of injustice and inequity which lead to hunger and homelessness.’”

I think the Republicans might end up regretting that thing.  After spending years promoting faith-based community development and non-profits, they took a giant dump on those people last night.  Too bad helping feed the homeless and serve the least and the lost isn’t good enough for the Republican party.

“Jesus was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

The internet has spoken, and it does not approve.

  • about me

    My name is Jonathan Assink.

    I'm a writer, photographer, baseball nut, foodie & lover of indie bands you've probably never heard of. I wrote a theology of justice for artists & love to talk about the intersection of art, faith & social justice. I am passionate about words & images. I have a heart for the city, for the church (in whatever form it takes) & for artists.

    Though inspired & influenced by many different people and experiences my words here are my own & do not represent the views of any organization I might be involved in.
