compassion in our communities and provide tax incentives and federal funds to houses of worship to spur their social service work. He promised to spend $8 billion during his first year in office on tax incentives for charitable donations and to support charities and religious groups. This is one of the things he was pushing, his parochial school funding, and this is the very definition of the image of the beast, and he's no longer running for president. He is president. Now, when the argument was going on here recently about whether they're going to count the votes and whether Bush is going to prevail or Gore is going to prevail, if you were watching closely, you've seen the Republicans in the United States trying to keep a man named Tom DeLay quiet because they didn't want to rock the boat and make any more waves than they needed to because Tom DeLay, the Republican head in the House of Representatives, perhaps the most powerful man in the Congress of the United States, you might say the head of the Senate is the most powerful or he's the most powerful, he's the Speaker of the House, Tom DeLay, he was saying things very blatantly opposing Gore just out and out during that time period, and they'd say, back off, back off, we don't want you to rock the boat. But if you've been watching what he's been saying, here's something that he said. This is from this article here from the Washington Post, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay predicted yesterday that once George Bush is elected president, congressional majority lawmakers would be able to launch a very aggressive counterattack, he's talking against the liberal Democrats. As part of that counterattack, DeLay proposed, now listen to this very closely, DeLay proposed that Congress attach two anti-religious discrimination measures to spending bills. One would allow religious groups and institutions to receive federal funds, now what's that? That's parochial school funding, that's the definition of the image of the beast, but let me carry on here. One would allow religious groups and institutions to receive federal funds, which he said would ease the way for Catholic schools to receive government money. The second would prohibit states and school districts receiving public funds from debarring private voluntary prayer and religious activities. See, this DeLay that's going to push these things, he doesn't just call it religious schools. If you heard it, his word was it would ease the way for Catholic schools. Now up to this point in this argument, it's just been, we want to have funding for religious schools, but Tom DeLay has tipped his hand. This is a push for Catholic schools. Now we looked at the speaking in our previous study, the speaking of a nation.
