Or am I too cynical?
I said a similar thing on an earlier post, but I didn't ax whether I was too cynical.
With this communist, halfrican, mooselimb low life prick, there is nothing that he wouldn't do to keep his personal servants and his female companion's free rides {his male companion, reggie love, went back to chicago}.
When GWB was President, I never could understand how libs could say that Bush wasn't their President, I now understand now concur, this communist prick isn't my President.
Hey BILL, how about in the f*ing voting booth? Why don't you get your fellow parishioners in line for the real fight? We don't really need millions of "catholics" voting for Obama because of whorehouse bullshit like "social justice." Get it?
What did he think was gonna happen?
I'm starting to wonder if even that is possible.
They want this. The liberals want violence.....they want religions and conservatives in the streets so OWS and agent provacateurs can incite violence.
......there is a war coming and it is not going to end nicely.

You have no other choice that youre willing to use.
Push me hard enough and there will be expanded choices I will be willing to use.
As will many others.
Believe me, I’m in that same category, and I have a couple of ideas on how that push can happen for millions more if needed, but in the end, we’re all “fat and happy” and I just don’t see any of us doing anything useful and the “powers that be” understand that all too well.
I want to be wrong more than you can imagine, but I just don’t see any light at the end of this tunnel. I’ll keep on hoping for the best I suppose.
This article is bunk.
Within a week the media will have killed this story and the sheeple will have forgotten all about it. The Catholic church will have been bought off or intimated into dropping the whole thing and it will go away.
Bet me?
I'm so cynical that I believe the RATs have run the numbers and likely donations and concluded that it makes the most sense to dump on all Christians and their values; get the base and the MSM excited.
Zero is as likely to reverse this HHS decision as Komen is to defund PP.
Sadly, the USCCB let the wolf IN by taking Obama at his word when he said there would be religious exemptions in the Obamacare legislation. Obama knew that the exemptions would be so narrow as to be useless, but he considered the Bishops useful idiots in his desire to take over health care in this country, so he let them believe what they wanted to believe about the legislation.
I don't think you're being "too cynical", Barry is totally capable of the sort of thing you suggest. However, in this case, I'm not so sure Barry was focused on dealing specifically with Catholics as much as he was focused on making BarryCare look more like RomneyCare by the time the Republicans officially have Bishop Romney as their candidate. Whenever you look at something Barry does that relates in any way impacts religion, you have to look at what Barry has gobbled up about Jooooz and Catholics for his entire life. Rev. Wright would periodically go on rants about the Jooooz running the world and equally as often go on long rants right out of the Mooze Lame book of lies about the Catholic Church. Wright is solidly among the anti-Catholic conspiracy theorists who believe the Catholic Church has billions and trillions tucked away in Swiss bank accounts along with an unlimited ability to wring money out of parishioners. Looking at the "insights" into the Catholic Church from Rev. Wright Barry's belief that the State can dictate to religion just as it does in totalitarian Iz Lame Ick countries, and I think Barry and his "Catholic" HHS pals would just see dollar signs when they looked at the Catholic Church. They figured they had the perfect way to infuse a ton of money into BarryCare which would, on paper, make it seem closer to solvent as well as providing benefits "everyone wants and deserves". They looked at the balance sheet for RomneyCare and figured they could match it if they bled enough money out of the Catholic Church and any other religious group they thought they could count on to pay the penalties rather than providing the benefits.
Since Barry was so successful in attracting Catholics in Name Only and has the full support of the "Catholics" like Nasty Pelosi, he thought that US Bishops wouldn't resist this and wouldn't listen to Rome. Instead, he figured they'd just dig into that mythical pile of money they have to pay the penalty for each employee, and in doing so, go a long way to making BarryCare look just as "solvent" as RomneyCare. Considering the number of nominally Catholic Hospitals Barry figured it was a slam dunk way to pour money into BarryCare and after the Church announced it would not comply and would instead pay the fines, Barry could easily defend BarryCare as being every bit as "practical" as RomneyCare.
Narcissists don't think in terms of "bait and switch" politics except in fairly desperate cases where they've rationalized doing so into not being an admission that they needed help from a particular person or group. That's exactly why Barry remained aloof from all the wheeling and dealing to get BarryCare passed. He doesn't see himself as someone who has to lower himself to bargaining. Someone may convince him he should modify his position prior to the election, but now that the Church is actively resisting him, it's going to be touch and go to sell a reversal to him and anything else is going to be so clearly a scam no one is going to buy it.
Once there are Catholics who publicly agree with him rather than the Pope and US Bishops, the ego rush Barry gets from looking at how many Catholics prefer him to the Church is going to be hard for him to give up. He may well back down prior to the election if practical political considerations prevail, but now that even US Bishops have gone on the warpath against him, backing down would do him more harm with the left than it would help him among Catholics. No one will believe that anything he says will stick beyond election day.
The only thing you can ever really count on with Barry is that he'll do whatever feeds his narcissistic bubble and keeps him from having to face reality. His "in crowd" knows this and at this point will only make a change if they can sell it to Barry in a way that feeds his ego.
JMHO
Obama will relent (for now) and the Media and Church will celebrate his courage.
It’s about time this govt health care program gets more scrutiny...
as they say, the Devil is in the details...
wonder how folks like Bart Stupak feel these days?
BOYYYY Obama really step into this one eh NYER LOL!
If I was Santorum I would put and add up:
With this issue then Romney saying “”it nothing to get angry about”
Then show Town Hall meeting clips then Romney saying “”it nothing to get angry about”
etc.....
It’s not enough to expand the exemption to schools, hospital etc. (which is what I think will happen). What about the small business owner who doesn’t want to pay for these things? Will he be forced to choose between obeying the law or God? Without complete repeal of the Obamacare act, the power will still remain.
