Just so I understand Republicans correctly, it's more noble to spend a life's career working for government than it is to work through charitable faith-based means to improve your community.
Gotcha.

People make it sound like The Messiah was a community organizer for decades, he did it for three years. And people make it sound like he tried to help everyone; not true. Obama worked exclusively in Black neighborhoods with twenty four Black Churches.
“Kellman was looking for an organizer for the new Developing Communities Project (DCP), which would focus on black city neighborhoods”
“Obama, only 24, struck board members as "awesome" and "extremely impressive," and they quickly hired him, at $13,000 a year, plus $2,000 for a car--a beat-up blue Honda Civic, which Obama drove for the next three years organizing more than twenty congregations to change their neighborhoods.”
People make it sound as if he was really good at being a community organizer when in fact he was unsuccessful in his efforts to change or help.
“Despite some meaningful victories, the work of Obama--and hundreds of other organizers--did not transform the South Side or restore lost industries”
And of course, three years was quite long enough, his ambitions quickly drove him from the mean streets of south Chicago to the gilded hall of Harvard. And has they says, the rest is history. But he sure does get a lot of political mileage out of those three unsuccessful years.
“But Obama grew restless and eventually went to Harvard Law School. "He said you can only go so far in organizing.”
These actual quotes came from a 2007 article in the New York Times, or was it that wonderful article in Time Magazine; oh well, it was from one of those fawning radical liberal publication that once upon a time, actually printed and reported unbiased news. Obviously those days are gone for good. It’s comforting to know that these short years of unsuccessful work makes Barack the best person to be POTUS.
I'm liking the "Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governer" I've been overhearing lately.
