When Is Unconstitutional Spending Not Unconstitutional?
Conservatives, we are told, oppose most government spending, especially if that money is spent outside of strictly constitutional bounds. Thus, it should come as a surprise to learn that "Concerned Women for America, a conservative public policy group, announced it has received its first federal grant--$113,000 from the U.S. State Department to host a conference addressing the problem of sex trafficking."
Apparently, given the positive tone of the article on a supposedly conservative website, government grants to liberal groups are bad, but government grants to conservative groups are wonderful.
Is it any wonder why it's hard to take the conservative movement seriously anymore?
