Hobby Lobby Hysteria Hits New High
American Spectator ^ | 3/19/2014 | David Catron

Posted on 03/19/2014 4:46:08 AM PDT by rootin tootin

Next Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments concerning constitutional challenges to Obamacare’s contraception mandate brought by Hobby Lobby Stores and Conestoga Wood Specialties … Neither company objects to birth control, per se. Indeed, both provide coverage to their employees for most types of contraception. Yet civilization as we know it will collapse if the justices rule in their favor, according to the increasingly shrill prognostications of panicky liberals. Such a decision, progressives shriek, would constitute a victory for the dark forces behind the “war on women,” erode employee protections against discrimination, and dramatically reduce access to health care for all workers.

We all need to be praying here,

This is spiritual warfare going on at the highest levels,

We battle not against flesh and blood,

We need to bind and rebuke these evil spirits, Jesus gave us the authority to do so, and told us he would bind in heaven what we bind in the Earth,

The Church has that authority if we would only claim it,

Read somewhere that Roberts’ favorite word is BOHICA.

The real battle should be....contraception is not a health item and killing an unborn child is murder.

Obamacare is just creating a "double dipping" fund for Planned Parenthood.

My guess is the long term plan is to have a "clinic" in every high school in the country.

“This is spiritual warfare going on at the highest levels,”

Every definition of true evil is represented in the Obama
regime. What do you call a person who declares war on
Christians? He is called what? The anti what?
It’s one thing when you cant prove anything true about
Obama. Who is he? What is his real name? Where did he come
from? Is he christian or muslim?..etc. It’s what we do know
about him. He’s a hater. He hates honesty, decent moral
principals, family values and even human life its self.

He is either the antichrist or is going way out of his
way to portray himself as one. Either way, He’s not good for
the country or the world for that matter.

It certainly is - and will remain so, or probably get worse. I expect it will impose gay marriage on the whole country shortly. And then what? People just take this stuff. The only possible way to solve this dilemma is to break up the country, but there’s no political will to do that . . . yet.

I’m in Texas and I support our succession. However, it would take more than one state.

I also support a convention of states, but even if enough states pulled together, the feds would just do martial law. They will never give up power.

The most interesting thing, IMHO, about the left’s response to this issue is their projection of possible “could” events.

Their response write, in clear bold, flashing, letters their use of the courts to advance their social/political/economic objectives. Any cursory review of their court victories over the last 50 years will show how a specific victory was quickly expanded to cover much more than the individual court ruling.

Now, when there is a reasonable probability of a ruling going against them, as in this case, they are screaming to the world (I was going to say high heavens, but..) how this will end civilization as they, the left, understand it.

We need to quit letting the left hide behind a facade of benevolent intent (”equal rights”, etc).

We need to assert and expose their true goal of squelching and criminalizing Christian beliefs.

Let the battle join, but let’s make sure we keep them honest as to what the battle is about.

I think it's spelled "secession", as in "to secede". Not "succession", as in "to succeed".

Just sayin'.

Antichrist is a spirit foremost and is at work in the world and was in Johns day when he wrote about it, and your correct, this spirit is becoming more visible here and gaining in strength.

My belief is that how or when it coalesces its authority (the way hitler was Nazi Germany) into a single person, we don’t yet fully understand. Satan doesn’t know either, neither does he want to see it himself under these circumstances, nor does he control the timing, but he always has someone that can play that role, he knows its his end when it comes, when hes thrown out of Heaven in Revelation 12, but he’s desperate to control events on the Earth surrounding the close of the age,

This person in the white house has an unclean spirit, anyone with discernment can see it, its visible in his eyes, (this specific spirit) there are also two others, V. Jarrett and that Governor of NY, who I don’t know much about. I’m sure there’s more supporting this administration, these are just the three I can easily see,

I agree with you MrB,

But it cannot be won in the flesh alone,

It must be fought in the spirit, standing with his spirit and by his authority, claim it,
