I think we were talking about non-emergency situations, like the homeless on the street. We were discussing the idea that conservatives care more for those homeless than the liberals do.

Again, the Salvation Army and Catholic Charities and many other groups are right there as the first line of help for the homeless. Both of those charities have homeless housing and programs and both work closely with Psychiatric health services in that population. You probably have no idea how bad things would be without these "faith based group" efforts.
why do you think GW Bush was so big into pushing for greater funding for "Faith based groups?" The asnwer is because they are very effective at helping people in real ways. They are generally more effective than government programs...
