Answers for a confused Jake

Jake, over at Page One Kentucky, takes Yours Truly to task for making wry comments about Gov. Grinch, who decided the other day to replace the state Christmas Tree with a "Holiday Tree." Jake, who apparently sides with the Grinch on this one, asks:
Where are these alleged Christians when health services are cut? Where are these alleged Christians when education is cut? Where are these alleged Christians when the homeless are turned away? Where are these alleged Christians when rivers are being poisoned?
Let's see. Where do we start?

"Where are these alleged Christians when health services are cut?" Um, well, we might find them still writing charitable donation checks from their continually decreasing disposable income which is shrinking because the government is taking an in increasing share of it back to Washington where, after government bureaucrats take their percentage and then send it back here where they don't do as good a job as churches would have done it, they send it back here.

"Where are these alleged Christians when education is cut?" Let's see, how about continuing to pay for it even though many of them are sending their own kids to real schools and having to pay for that too?

"Where are these alleged Christians when the homeless are turned away?" Turned away from where? Church Homeless Shelters, at the order of government officials, like in New York City?

"Where are these alleged Christians when rivers are being poisoned?" How about condemning it on our blog when it happens?

And what, may we ask, is Jake doing about these things?

    Jake feeds Unicorns in the parks and gives CFC lightbulbs to the homeless. Isn't that enough?

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:

1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.

Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
