		<description>Wow - lots of hatred here but no worries, Christians are used to it and bracing for more.  The economy is affecting every business across the country.  To hand-wring and/or pontificate about the whys and wherefores of what happened at FOF is pointless.  Things are bad in the US and will most definitely get worse.</description>

		<description>I haven't lived in Colorado for thirty years, but it seems that ever since the Jebus crazies took over Colorado Springs the state has been on the slide. Now the election results show that the good folks of the Rocky Mountain State have found your senses again. 

Now the Über bigots at FoF can't con enough little old ladies out of their social security checks to keep Snake Handler in Chief Dobson in Cuban cigars and Caddys. I hate so see anyone lose their job in this republican depression, but humility can be learned by living on unemployment and food stamps. It couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of con men.</description>

		<description>The story indicates a budget reduction of 22 million or so.  The half million may have supported 10 to 15 jobs.  I would expect that when the economy turns around, Focus will be anxious to hire again, but they have to be realistic about the immediate future.</description>

		<description>To answer your first question: No, Mark Barna and I are not married. I'm his editor. And whether we're anti-religious -- or devoutly religious -- is something we try hard not to convey in what we write.

The question about saving jobs today stems from a lot of the comments we get on almost any story we do on Focus, namely: Why don't they spend money on such-and-such? We were anticipating that kind of question with regards to the layoff, and were trying to address it pre-emptively. As I wrote in the post, we're not criticizing or defending Focus; we're merely asking what people think. And you were very clear about what you think: They used the money in accordance with their mission.</description>

		<description>Ok, are Barb Cotter and Barna married? They seem to have the anti-religion blog cornered on the market!
 
    The whole thing that needs to be considered, and could certainly be  seen by ANYONE really wanting to know the truth is, that this $500,000-plus in donations that Focus gace to support the very important Proposition 8 was money given by their doners SPECIFICALLY in support of this proposition!  And it would have been VERY wrong for them to have kept this money for themselves to save these people's jobs!  And if they HAD kept the money, I am sure either Barb or Barna would be here today telling people how GREEDY Focus was for doing THAT too!  Knowing the facts, this should have never been an issue at all!</description>
