I think this was a brilliant Christmas Card and shows that Bob Inglis knows what it means to be a compassionate conservative.

World Vision, Heifer international, all great organizations — I wonder if this means that Inglis took money from his own campaign coffers, money normally used to tear people down in partisan politics, and instead used it to build people up, build up a community. If he did he’s gained an immeasurable amount of respect from this progressive — and to also encourage his constituents who may or may not have thought about this kind of giving.. great!

Eric – I thought I admitted I missed the point of the card when I wrote this entire post saying that I missed the point of the card.

As for the goat, I prefer Alpacas.

I understood the card right away…. but I can’t help but wonder if the bigger message is ,seperating the sheep FROM the goats……..

Adam,

I really am a big fan of yours.

Admit you missed the point of the card..and then buy a goat. You will be better off for it, and some poor guy someplace will be better able to feed his family.

You are the man. Time for you to be the man with a goat.

Adam,

Sorry to say, but you not knowing about programs like this is more telling of your worldview than just about anything else you’ve posted. thi smay come as a shock, but many people know about these kind of programs.

Not only is purchasing animals for third world countries a noble Christian thing to do, it’s even managed to grab hold of the Hollywood elite by giving them something that even THEY can agree with Christians on. And it’s not odd at all: You can even purchase water filtering systems for villages, giving those people a chance to have clean drinking H2O for the first time. Try putting aside the politics for a moment and visit some humanitarian and/or Christian sites once in a while.

Eric,

I’m sure it’s a worth-while program, but why the hell is Inglis sending this random stuff to random people?

I’m not making fun of the program — I’ve never even heard of it — I’m just curious as to why Inglis just sent a card about a goat to a bunch of people who have no idea what this is… without any explanation.

To those of us who don’t normally buy goats for people, this is odd at best.

Hey Adam,

I am a fan, but you are dead wrong on this.

This icard and what it represents is good stuff. I am surprised your are making fun of it.

Programs like these, that purchase goats or cows for poor people in third world countires, are spot on.

The bottom line on this is don’t waste money buying crap for people that don’t need it…do something Jesus would do…help those that really need help
