To our catholic Brothers and Sisters; Please, hang in there for we Evangelicals are on your side. We must make it perfectly clear that we will not abide demands by the government that we set aside our beliefs to accomodate some notion of “social justicce.”

Did anyone catch this exchange between Congressman Gowdy and Ms. Sibelius on Friday?

Kathleen Sibelius gets a lesson on the US Constitution

As discussed at the Constitutional Convention, governments rule either by force or persuasion. We used to be the latter, where friends and associates represented our interests for a while, then returned home to live under the laws they passed.

As Congress grants more and more law making authority to the tyrannic administrative state, the citizen's circle of freedom is nearly gone. Witness the exponential increase in uniformed, armed officers for nearly every governmental agency.

There are no moral or constitutional reasons to obey the illegal diktats of Baby-Doc.

We the People granted limited legislative authority to Congress and no others.

This will not end well.

This is a case of any American, Catholic or non-Catholic, religious employer or factory owner, who refuses to act as an accomplice to a policy that treats pregnancy as a disease and sexual promiscuity as a right.

So very well said. I hate to think that my individual liberty is only guaranteed if I'm a member of an organized religion.

Actually, the USCCB, of which Cdl. Dolan is the president, has made it clear that all employers who object to the mandate need to be protected, not only church-related ones.

God willing, the SCOTUS will strike down the whole evil law and this whole discussion becomes moot.
