Don’t get me wrong. I am a strong believe that the social issues are important, that we are on the right side and emphasizing our position helps win elections.

But ...

We are currently focused on a social issue that Obama launched to deflect our attention from high gas prices and high unemployment and such. That strategy is working. Is the issue important to us? You betcha. Is it it helping or hurting Obama? It’s hurting him, slightly. But it is a net plus because it minimizes the economic talk and so it is a net plus for the Dems. That was the trap.

And ...

Yes it is Rush’s show. He can talk about whatever he wants to. And I can listen or not listen. These days I’m spending much more time with FR, my Kindle and less time with Rush.

Nope - I don’t get you wrong.

You certainly have a valid point. And, like many of us, you have America’s best interests at heart it seems to me.

We all want our country back.

Forcing insurance companies and self insured employers to provide contraceptive devices and medications including abortifacients is not merely a "social issue". It is a constitutional issue of huge proportions. Don’t get me wrong. I am a strong believe that the social issues are important, that we are on the right side and emphasizing our position helps win elections. But ...

But what?

If the federal government can force an employer to pay for instruments of contraception and medications, they can force the employer or insurance carrier to do just about anything the administration wants to force them to do.

What are the constitutional limits to this government? Can they force the Catholic Church or me to violate my conscience and pay for things that are wholly offensive to me as a human being?

This is not just about birth control. It is about LIBERTY!
