Democratic Bill Would Grant Executive Power to Deny Religious Freedom to Churches, Synagogues,
Weekly Standard ^ | 7/10/14 | JOHN MCCORMACK

Most houses of worship have been granted a full exemption from Obamacare's regulation mandating coverage of contraception and abortifacients, but Ed Whelan points out that new legislation unveiled by Senate Democrats yesterday could put that religious protection in jeopardy.

Although "bill itself wouldn’t abolish the exemption," Whelan writes, it "would allow the Obama administration (or its successors) to abolish the exemption and the accommodation in their entirety. (If the bill were instead intended to preserve the exemption and the accommodation against regulatory abolition, it would be a fairly simple matter to say so clearly.)"

DemocRAP Dorks! It’s against the Constitution.

So was the original bill with the late LBJ while in congress pushed through that takes away NPO status to churches when preachers address political issues. By that law no church can endorse someone. Unless of course it ran by some certain Race Baiting Revurunds who be da protector of da down trodden peoples who been mistreated the last 50 years since LBJ's Great Society started handing out welfare checks.

There are Americans and then their are communist running their own private plantations using race as a means to manipulate which is where this is heading also.

The churches are on the side of the marxists. Essentially have been for years. Decades in the case of the Catholic Bishops.

“Reckon we’ve reached the point where the only religion permitted will be the Church of The State. Congratulations America.”

Democrats no longer care about the 1st amendment either. I’m starting to wonder when the time comes that we will need the 2nd amendment to defend the first how we are going to be able to do that...

Washington has a massive army stocked with goons willing to cary out the will of whatever fascist sits in that house and pays their checks. Including levy war upon our people and our states.

Mosques will be exempt. Obama granted them exclusions the first time around and he’ll do the same again.
