Thwart Salvation Army Bigotry With Three Dollar Bill Protest
   
One of the things that I love about the Internet is that it helps people, through easy access of information, to build upon the ideas that other people put forward. So, it seems that a group of people over at Live Journal have responded to some articles that we’ve written here about how the Salvation Army engages in discrimination and takes a big chunk of government money from the White House office on religion in return for its political lobbying efforts in favor of the agenda of the Religious Right.

Someone writing under the name Angry Biscuit has expanded on these articles to spawn a protest against the Salvation Army’s discriminatory practices. His protest has taken off across Live Journal, and so has found its way back here to Irregular Times, where I’m happy to pass it on.

Given that the Salvation Army discriminates against gays, atheists, Jews, and even against Christians that don’t belong to a church the Salvation Army approves of, people are placing notes of protest in the nagging red kettles at supermarkets across the country, instead of money. You can see a picture of one of these notes of protest, created in the form of a fake three dollar bill, below:



The protest bill has a rainbow flag on it and reads, When the Salvation Army ends its policy of religious bigotry and discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, then and only then will this be a real dollar bill Stop homophobia, discrimination and hate now. We are all human.

MADem point out to her how DUmb she is for being in such a hurry to C&P a article, that pritchett never bothers to read past the headline.

1. Your link is FIVE YEARS OLD, from back in the BUSH era.
   
The Salvation Army is a religion with beliefs. Some of their beliefs are just stupid. Pretty much every religion has stupid beliefs, from white horses that fly to Jerusalem to Golden Plates that can only be read in a top hat to a 33 year old unmarried Jewish boy turning water into wine.

I don't think it is helpful to screw with these Salvation Army people, and I'll tell you why. Of all the charities, religious or otherwise, they deliver the most bang for the buck--most of what you give them gets to the needy. And they DO help the needy--the homeless, the drunkards, the hungry--they do reach out and help those people and they really do serve "the least of the brethren."

If you can't bring yourself to support them because of some of their dumb positions, I say don't support them. But there's really no need to **** with them, either. It's not going to change their minds, they have their own POV and they aren't going to change. All you're doing is taking some of the energy that they use to help the homeless or feed the hungry and sapping it away with notes that haven't changed their mind in five long years.

Don't put any cash in the kettle if you don't like them. That's probably the best way to register your dislike for their religious beliefs.

Just so there's no question, here's their website, they make their beliefs very clear on it: http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/www_usn_2.nsf/0/B6F...

2. How is this ****ing with them??
   
I see it as educating. It's relatively harmless as well.

And if their policy hasn't changed in 5 years, then what difference does the age of the link make?

4. Your link is five long years old. They will NOT be moved. They did
   
issue a statement of their beliefs when this issue first came out (which, typically, are founded in scripture, as every excuse is) and they aren't going to change their minds. You will not "educate" them--they are relying on religious tracts and your berating them will do nothing.


The way to support a more inclusive charity is to do that--give your money to an outreach agency that does not discriminate.

Will you berate every other religion that discriminates as well? They all do, pretty much, in one way or another. And none of them return as much money to the recipients of their charity as SA does. They don't have rich CEOs making hundreds of thousands on their payroll, they have the lowest administrative costs going--they actually DO engage in charitable works in some of the roughest neighborhoods in our nation. The do, in fact, do a great deal of good, even if they have a few blind spots.

If you're going to go after these guys, who at least don't rip off donors with bullshit "administrative" fees, you should be prepared to go after the Catholics, the Protestants, the Muslims, the Baptists, the Mormons, and all those other religions that behave badly on this score....and remember, none of them deliver as much of the charitable dollar to the needy as SA does.

Pass the kettle by if you don't agree with them. Don't stuff the thing full of angry notes--you're only hurting the local chapters that are helping people in your own community.

I don't like their views of lots of religions on issues of discrimination, against gays, women, about choice, etc. But I am not about to DEMAND that a religion, or a religious charity, adhere to my beliefs. I'll just leave them to their own devices if I don't like their policies.

DUmmies do not understand that moral people do stand by their convictions. It's an alien concept for the democrat party comrades.

24. Those kettles can get very full on weekends. One of my recovering drunk friends
   
who works at a restaurant I go to occasionally used to do that bell ringing thing, that's how I learned about it and the whole recovery/job assistance/halfway house thing. Between the stuffed bills and coins, they can fill up quick on a brisk business evening. And when you can't open the thing up to smooth out the bills to make more room, they can get crammed in there inefficiently. Pieces of paper in there are just going to take up space that could be used by bills or coins.

It looks like to me Anne is trying a last-ditch effort to repeat last year's Top DUmmie award.

Too little, too late.

She is really a wretched miserable old bitch, isn't she?

It's obvious she never had that much-needed surgical operation suggested--out of true sincerity and Christian concern for her well-being--in her award last year.

She's lost.  She's beyond the pale.

She is wretched. I've had more liberal leaning folks approach me for local causes whether it be to support a candidate or participate in one of their efforts to 'help the world' ie Amnesty INternational type of crap. Here's what I do do DUmmies--I POLITELY decline. I don't give a lecture, I don't put stupid pieces of worthless paper in their hands, and I don't try and 'educate' them. And those requests I've had, seeing as they aren't really charitable in any way, probably could stand a little ridicule :-) but I still don't bother.

The other person schooling her is right on; you will not 'educate' anyone. This is someone or an organizations stated belief system. They intend to exclude only because they have to do so in order to uphold the belief system that is true to them. As I see it, it is not done with malice, but out of a sincere desire to live up to their beliefs. I've seen this with liberals so often..they get so angry with relatives and such who don't agree with them and their beliefs(which are based often on nothing more then their own greed), yet they think everyone else should be educated, even when the person might be well aware of the exclusive nature of their who or what they organize with but they've made a choice to assemble as they see fit. I guess they don't understand that in this country we are still free to associate with whomever we want. Not all of us need educating. I like too how only Christians, whites, etc are the ones who need educating. Muslims are very exclusive in their belief system. I don't see the wretched bitch going to CAIR and stuffing their offices full of 'thin paper' protests. Chicken shit!

49. I disagree with those policys also,
   
but I still throw change in when I see them.
My Granny rang the bells for extra cash after my grandpop died.

Every time I hear them they remind me of her...

If DUmmies can stand by their immoral convictions, the Salvation Army can stand by their moral convictions....that would be tolerance, wouldn't it? ...and we all know that liberal DUmmies are all about tolerance.

Tolerance for their wicked ways but none for your moral ways.

Really?  Griping about the Salvation Army?  Good grief, what silliness.

Don't they have about the highest percentage of donations that actually go to fund their programs and not support the management?  They don't ask about a person's beliefs or make them sign a statement of loyalty when giving aid.  They just serve everyone they can help.

You know, I'm going to be snotty here but I don't care at this point, at times I have to sink to their level.

With the Obamaeconomy sucking as much as it does there are people who are hungry, record numbers of people on food stamps, well I want to know what Muslims do to help those in need? to help those who are hungry? looking for shelter? then I want to ask what the nasty regressives in that thread what they have done to help those who are hungry and in need of shelter? then I want to ask the Atheists what they have done for people who are hungry and in need to shelter? and how many of the groups I listed have helped with heating assistance? The Christian Churches and towns work in network with 1 another, they collect and distribute food from their congregants, if 1 pantry is in need of something they contact another pantry.

Before I get too nasty I'll just shut up, and do this :bird:

They hate the Salvation Army for the same reasons they hate conservative women and/or minorities. They don't follow the liberal narrative - that 'Rethugs' are a bunch of wealthy, white male 1%ers who are getting richer off the backs of the poor and downtrodden, or a bunch of white, racist, NASCAR lovin' , beer-swillin' , uneducated rednecks..

United Way lost my donations years ago when they went against the Boy Scouts of America for not having fagots as troop leaders. Red Cross lost it when they funneled my 9/11 donation on to other places I had not intended it to go. The SA is the only national organization that I donate to now. IIRC 95% of your donation goes to the intended. UW and RC get up into the 70% levels.

They would rather see a poor or infirm person sleep on the streets or go hungry rather than have them receive a message of hope and God's love to go along with their food and shelter, so puerile is their hatred of God and anything Christian. Then they have the nerve to invoke the words of Jesus when it comes to how Christians should be treating their fellow man. It's especially sick in light of the fact that the vast majority of them do nothing to help others except bitch on a web site or camp in a public park and decree those activities as, "Standing up for the poor".  It's enough to vomit over.
