As a Catholic, I think this is the wrong response. Or at least it appears that way to me.
The leaders of the RC church should tell the Federal government they will not obey the order. The church ought to keep the hospitals open and refuse to pay a fine to the US gov’t. This would force the government to literally assume the ownership by force against a religous group.
Citizens need to call the government’s bluff here and risk going to jail over it. How would the gen’l population feel if the jails were full of Christians of all stripes being arrested and thrown into jails simply because they oppose this Obamacare mandate????
Witnesses for the faith by going to jail are a good tool against imperial edicts coming from our government.
I agree.
Everyone should go about business as usual.
Call their bluff.
Are they really going to raid the hospitals and the schools?
Really?
That’s the day they will lose everything.
I read that - it’s a good post. I’m reading her blog every day now.
What she’s suggesting ties in with what Gumdrop is saying in post #40 of this thread.
Amen thank you for finally saying it. That is the only option.
“But warts and all, not one of them is an America hating Communist. Not even close. Not even if you put together the worst aspects of each.”
You are SO right!
The court, will in June render unto us there decision, whether we shall serve Man or God.
As for me and my household, we shall serve God.
Do you think Russia, or China, or any number of lesser countries would remain neutral? I am not at all encouraged by the thought.
Would they really inspect a students lunch for compliance?
Would they mail condoms to children’s homes in plain envelopes?
Would they really arrest a man and strip search him because his three year old daughter drew a picture of a Gun?
Would they really send a swat team to a mans house and arrest him because his lobsters were not packed in the proper box, then send him to jail for six and a half years?
Would they really invade a man’s property and declare it a wetland because he cleaned out a drainage ditch?
Wake up people they are doing this stuff every day.
sure they would...and it’s a bit like the frog in the boiling water. An outrage here...an insult there.
But the populace as a whole still seems to be yawning.
I don’t think they’ll yawn when the feds barge into hospitals and shut them down - not when they’re trying to sell the public on their (false) message that they’re trying to increase everyone’s access to healthcare.
Well that’s not a bad idea!!!!!
Yes, they would sttay very much neutral.
