Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has decided that the US Senate ought to investigate whether six TV Ministries are spending donors’ money in ways that meet his expectations. Since Republicans, of which he is one, like to harken back to The Gipper and ask, “WWRD — What Would Regan Do?” — I will ask, too. Having thus asked, I will also answer and say that Ronaldus Maximus, if he were still with us…God rest his soul, would say something like, “Well…did they give the money at the barrel of a gun? Are they happy giving? Then…I don’t see why we don’t just leave them alone to serve God as they see fit. If they decide that their money is no longer being used as God would want, they are free to donate elsewhere. Frankly, I give the American people more credit for being able to run their own lives than Sen. Gassley does. He ought to get back to doing The People’s business that they elected him to do – instead of dictating to them how they should spend their Sunday mornings.”
