Remember President Bush’s faith-based initiative? You know, that’s the program where federal funds aid religious charities. As it turns out you can find among those charities receiving funds the Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church. Yes, the Moonies have ties with the Bush administration, according to a Salon article:

Last December, at his three-day God and World Peace event, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon drew a notable slate of political figures, from Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., to Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill., and, perhaps most notably, James Towey, director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, who offered some respectful opening remarks to Moon’s Unification Church faithful. Moon followed, and called for all religions to come together in support of the Bush plan for faith-based initiatives.
