Behind every RED CROSS bashing is a non-Christian still pissed off about the IRC's accurate reporting of camp deaths during the Holocau$t. (The org visited the camps regularly and delivered packages to inmates and dutifully inspected camp records. When they reported that dead Jews numbered in the thousands instead of millions, their endless problems began.)
If a "non-Christian from New York City" (wink wink) needed shelter after a disaster the first thing he or she would do is contact the ACLU about the rampant proselytizing by Christians in a tax exempt (non religious) aid organization.
So. the Red Cross gets it from all sides from the Kosher Kabal. After Katrina the Heebs complained because the Red Cross allegedly didn't use donations to "help people". Digging deeper I found that the org bought new trucks, tents, reefers and equipment to replace outdated stuff, which of course must come out of donations received. (This wasn't mentioned in the hit piece I read)
The equipment is crucial to disaster response and rendering aid. But according to their evil, agenda driven critics' logic if the org buys food with donations that's okay, but buying garbage bags or dish detergent for clean up isn't.
But there's never a word of criticism when people donate to the UJA, which only helps Jews. If you donate to the United Way it may be given to Marxists in San Francisco, but United Jewish Appeal donations are "earmarked" for ewe gno hoo. And needless to say there's no reason to question how the monies are spent.

Let's just say that I have nothing good, at all, to report about the Red Cross, or their money-grubbing operation.

And I won't dispute any reasons you may have for your views my dear friend.
But, this article clearly avoids the obvious rules governing 501(c)(3) public charities and the problems that could result if the org suddenly becomes an appendage of Christianity without having stated the goal in its mission statement-application for tax exemption.
Even though the article explains how religious counsellors may be accommodated, the implied tone and criticism is that anything but unfettered access to its shelters for lay preachers is somehow wrong. (Do you believe that?) The first amendment is very broad in its stated protection of religious freedom, but that has nothing to do with Title 26, the IRS Code.
The article is a cheap shot hit piece that bears the paw prints of the Red Cross' most vicious and vocal critics.
And if said access was in fact permissible then there would be no way to stop the harassment of unwanted sermons aimed at sheltered Catholics by certain fundies who believe that "Papists are evil". After all, it's a regular theme of many "Christian" sermons, and has been for years. (OUR HOMES ARE GONE BECAUSE OF YOU IDOL WORSHIPPING SINNERS!") "And we need to get this country back on its knees where it belongs!"
And how could you stop a a bunch of zealots who get a whiff of "heathen blood" from ganging up on a minority of Buddhists, Hindus, Jains or G_D forbid, "the Christ killing Jews"?
NEWS FLASH!

A man trying to comfort and offering to pray with those who've just had their world(s) turned upside down should not be turned out. This doesn't sound like he was forcing anything, on anyone. Christ doesn't force himself on us, he just stands at the door and knocks; we choose to open the door, or not.
Where were all the cults mentioned trying to help the flood victims? I have yet to hear of their relief work in LA, or anywhere else for that matter.
It's past time for Lyndon's 501(c)(3) mess to be flushed down the IRS toilet of suppression of free speech.
imo

Hey, you're preachin' to the choir, Reverend!
You may remember that the IRS seized a church in Norfolk, VA several years ago because the pastor refused to stop endorsing a presidential candidate from the pulpit. He truly believed that the other guy was of Satan, but, the IRS decreed that the govt licensed church could not offer meaningful influence during the election.
If it was up to me I'd refuse tax exemption for my church. But, unfortunately, many parishioners simply will not tithe unless their gifts are deferred taxes that they'd otherwise pay to Uncle Schmeuly, So, a big part of the problem is that many collection plates brim with cash for reasons other than Christian charity, and "don't let the left hand know what the right one is doing" is a dead letter.
But, without the god cursed income tax swindle (and the rapidly approaching worthless Federal Reserve Note) people could support their churches without having to unduly sacrifice. I certainly can't fault folks for taking the donations off of their taxes. Especially since our standard of living has contracted so much since the '50s, while being forced into ever higher tax brackets with ever crumbling buying power.
People and their churches could end the income tax or at the very least remove the tax exemption (which replaced tax immunity and no govt control of churches) if they had the will. They don't.
To paraphrase Mr. "Gimme sum hot nigger luvin', Sally" Thomas Jefferson, "people are predisposed to suffer the ills as long as they're bearable. instead of throwing off the chains."
It's just in our nature.
