Babbling incessantly about a fictitious "war on women," Barack Obama and his band of hubristic hedonists play the victim even as they rape the freedom and conscience rights of the religious. Obamacare's decree that the religious pay for the promiscuity of their employees and students represents the greatest government-directed assault on religious liberty in the history of America.
The audacity of the president's secularist hope -- which is nothing more than a totalitarian power grab against the Catholic Church and other denominations -- is despicable. The GOP should apologize for nothing in this battle of the culture war and take the fight to him. Portray him every day as an enemy of religion and conscience rights. And do not surrender one inch to a mau-mauing media of anti-religious bigots who do his bidding day in and day out.
Far more troubling than Rush Limbaugh's comment about Sandra Fluke is the cowardice of country club Republicans who refuse to join the talk show host in denouncing Obama for his war on religion. If anybody deserves an apology from Rush, it is prostitutes. They pay for their birth control themselves, and, unlike Fluke, they don't demand that the clergy underwrite their carnal activities.
Let's cut the PC crap: college and law school students who demand that priests and nuns finance their fornication deserve searing satirical treatment. This is the sorriest collection of arrogant snots in the history of academia. Perhaps the sequel to "Failure to Launch" -- that Hollywood vehicle about an in-residence thirtysomething who beds women in his parents' house -- will be a pornographic film in which the aging protagonist uses the Obamacare HHS mandate to purchase an endless supply of Viagra.
Obama already mandates the lunacy of 26-year-old-and-younger "kids" purchasing abortion pills and contraceptives through the insurance plans of

They certainly do!
Here is what Rush said on Feb 29, from his transcript:
RUSH: What does it say about the college co-ed Sandra Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We’re the pimps. (interruption) The johns? We would be the johns? No! We’re not the johns. (interruption) Yeah, that’s right. Pimp’s not the right word. Okay, so she’s not a slut. She’s “round heeled.” I take it back.
Please note last three sentences. He was giving a logic methodology lesson.

As an employer, I’ve been incensed for some time about the fact that I cannot offer a health-care plan to my employees that doesn’t include psychiatric care. At first blush, it seems harmless doesn’t it? Let me assure you it isn’t.
Psyche care is mandated by the state of Virginia, and others. I am told that psychiatric care is becoming the largest driver of premium increases. It also provides the path toward disability from SS for many. It is simply too easy for patients and unscrupulous doctors to abuse. Too many gray areas that aren’t the case with most physical maladies that health insurance was designed to cover.
I don’t mean to belittle the discussion as to religious freedom, but the problem is mandates period. I hope we aren’t taking our eye off the ball. Employers and employees should be left to work these things out. That makes this a freedom issue, not limited to just religious freedom.
Egads.
The big failure in all this has not been Rush Limbaugh (although I think his unfortunate choice of language gave the left exactly the opening they were hoping for to discredit waht he actually said) but the bishops, who have failed to discipline the "progressives" and have in fact let them make it seem as if they, the "progressives," are the real teaching authority in the Church.
Nutshell:
Left: “not only are we going to actively oppose Christianity and Christian morality, we’re going to force Christians to subsidize that opposition.”
Agreed. Have you filed a lawsuit yet against Obamacare? There are multiple actions coming from different sources. Perhaps you can unite your voice with one of those groups.
This business of insisting that everyone provide free contraceptives is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the American Spectator article linked to on this thread, Sandra Fluke is also an advocate for transgender surgery to be covered by insurance plans. That will entail a lot of psychological counseling prior to surgery. And ... this is just the beginning. There is much in Obamacare that is still unknown. The number of pages is 3x that of the bible.
Follow the money.
Obamacare mandates that medical insurers cover any FDA approved contraceptive, including the newer, higher priced patented systems that you see advertised on TV constantly.
When people are paying the bill themselves, most will opt for the low-cost generic. But if somebody else is paying the bill, they will opt for the one they see on TV at twenty times the price.
If you are on a Statin for Cholestrol, your insurance company is pushing toward the generics, as they become available. But Obamacare specifically mandates that any FDA-approved birth control be fully covered, regardless of price.
Follow the money.

*********************************
I was very impressed with Rush yesterday. Very impressed.
According to the National Cancer Institute, there is an increased risk of cancer for women who take oral contraceptives. Does this mean the democrats want women to get cancer?
Gingrich also. For quite a while now he’s been including ,in his stump speeches, Obamas’ war on the Catholic church.
Go, Newt!
the score is 1-0 sin at the end of the first period...
GREAT article.
Out rolled the familiar wheelbarrow of pitiful PC clichés from the office of Georgetown President John J. DeGioia:
In recent days, a law student of Georgetown, Sandra Fluke, offered her testimony regarding the proposed regulations by the Department of Health and Human Services before a group of members of Congress. She was respectful, sincere, and spoke with conviction. She provided a model of civil discourse. This expression of conscience was in the tradition of the deepest values we share as a people. One need not agree with her substantive position to support her right to respectful free expression. And yet, some of those who disagreed with her position -- including Rush Limbaugh and commentators throughout the blogosphere and in various other media channels -- responded with behavior that can only be described as misogynistic, vitriolic, and a misrepresentation of the position of our student.
That's the real problem. The bishops are having trouble getting traction because the Catholic left is working hand in hand with the Dems to undermine the bishops and project their own version of Catholic teaching.
Until the bishops clean up their own house, they're going to have a hard time getting the State or the New York Times to take them seriously.
“Please note last three sentences. He was giving a logic methodology lesson.”
The ending lesson is more important. The average American has lost the ability to use reason and logic.
