President Barack Obama has not yet decided whether to go forward with a proposed regulation under the health care law he signed last year that would force Catholic individuals and institutions to act against the teachings of the Catholic church.

In August, Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius proposed a regulation--that would take affect next fall--that would require all health care plans to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including abortifacients. The proposed regulation includes a very narrow religious exemption that does not cover individual Catholics, or Catholic universities, hospitals or charitable institutions.

By all means, zero, if you’re feelin froggy, jump. You will lose any religious folks who ever considered voting for you, and we will just reverse you in 2012.

Sorry Muhammd, Islam will not take over. I foresee that Christ will take over and Islam fail to the side of the road as a failed religion. Why do I say this?
A) There is only a tiny % of Americans who are Islamic.
B) Only oil money fuels Islam—when it runs out they will be powerless.
C) They have no great message save for Jihad.
