It’s all about laying the ground-work for socialism.

For socialism to be imposed, enemies must be neutralized.

The enemies of socialism are always those institutions that allow the people to help themselves. Government must be the fount of all good, and religion in general, and churches in particular, must be eliminated as a social force for good.

Wal Mart has been attacked for much the same reason, they do too much good for the poor, thus they are villified.

Health-care must be the province of government, the private sector simply cannot be the hero here.

Eliminating the charitable deduction is the first step to eradicating charities, and other institutions that compete with government to deliver benefits to the people.

If we are able to help ourselves then we don’t need government do we?

Everyone has to choose: The president and the power of the state or the Roman Catholic Church and the right of all faiths to be free in the exercise of their beliefs.

I hope the sheeple are paying attention. This is a huge over-reach by Obama and company, and overtly obviously unConstitutional. If this doesn't wake people up I don't know what will.

IMO, even if zero backed this out of obamacare this year, he could put it back in next year, if he is reelected. Just sayin.

I understand Adolf Hitler used the fact that he was born a Catholic? to beguile the German people into he was a Christian when in fact he was more pagan or satanic. I believe the same can be said of Barak Hussein Obama II /Barry Soetoro—whoever /whatever it is.

The Church, and by that I mean both Evangelical and Catholic, has rolled over for every other coercive government entitlement, so the commiecrats were probably a little surprised that they would bristle at this one.

It’s just a tempest in a teapot, though.

Most “christians” don’t care about it and will vote for the Obama0 anyway, because, after all, the “social good” done by coercive government entitlement surpasses the evil of collectivism.

Not only that, but the church continued to give communion to the unrepentant drunk, adulterer, polygamist, and murderer Ted Kennedy. And they continue to administer communion to all the hi-visibility, rabid pro-abortionist “catholic” politicians, basically all those in the DemonRAT party.

The 0bamunists know that and are counting on it.

They’re probably correct.

It won’t really hurt them in the long run.

If “The Church”, Catholic and Evangelical, really wants to put the rubber on the road, they would excommunicate any and all democrats in their congregations, since the democrat party vigorously promotes and espouses anti-life, anti-Christ, and anti-Church policies.

But that will never happen.

The church is too weak and too anemic to really stand for anything anymore.

Very bad move because the uproar will now afford moral support to INDIVIDUALS, such as small business owners, who also are being forced to choose between violate their faith by paying for their employees’ contraception, sterilization and abortion. Of course it will be great if institutions win this issue, but what about our individual religious freedom? We need to include that as part of this fight.

Of course the easy way is to kill 0bamacare.

Of course I can. That would be The Messiah’s girls. The Wookie, Hillary, Kathleen

One can only wonder if they will gather at the foot of his cross and cry

They didn’t just unite Catholics. They have united everyone from every religion who believes in the sanctity of life, and beyond that, they have united Constitution loving Americans of every stripe who believe that the First Amendment is NOT to be tampered with in any way, shape, or form by any government EVER.
The free exercise of religion is the REASON so many people came to these shores.
You don’t mess with that. You just don’t.
Rebellion is brewing.

The "Morning-after" pill is not contraception, by definition. It is an abortifacient, as the baby has already been conceived. The news media's insistence on focusing only on contraception is calculated. Abortions will also be forced to be funded through this abortion pill.

Obama is simply against any religion or religious institution that does not conform to his rather peculiar Islamofascist viewpoint.

baraq is pulling his mask of to show his true muslim self.

Interesting that he is doing this before the election while running for a second term. He is acting like the election is already in the bag.

I talked to a “cradle Catholic” yesterday. He loves the democrat party more than he loves the Church. He said, “I don’t care much about that birth control stuff.” My thought was, if you don’t care about that birth control stuff personally, you still ought to care about the Church and its teachings.

Does anyone think it would stop at this? I remember years ago (well, decades -- back in the 70s I think, the days of The Population Bomb if I recall the title right), someone on the left was proposing universal birth control, in the water supply if they could find way, with the antidote available only by license from the gov't.

If there's anything we've seen, the Left has patience -- they seem to have taken a bigger step in incrementalism than usual this time.

DJ does not know how to do such an examination, and he also thinks that such exercises are only for other people (e.g. conservatives).

The only standards that matter to DJ is the democrat party platform and DNC talking points. They are his catechism.
