White House spokesman Jay Carney on Thursday dismissed calls for a reconsideration of President Barack Obamas controversial regulation of the health care policies offered by religious organizations, one day after Catholic leaders repeated their offer to hash out an agreement. The solution that was reached here
has been reached, and we firmly believe that it achieves the goals that the president set, Carney said at Thursdays White House press conference. On Feb. 10 Obama announced a new regulation that forces religious groups to financially support activities they abhor, but that the government supports. In particular, the president directed religious

When tax time comes around I will tell my CPA that I only pay what I owe minus the penalties and cost of the Obama care.
What do you think they will do if we ALL do this.
Good! I hope the White House keeps this up. The polls are NOT going their way.

"Tell the bishops of the United States, my loyal sons, of my desires and how I wish them to be carried out," The Blessed Virgin Mary told Sister Mary Ephrem, who saw Her with a white veil reaching almost to Her waist and a mantle and robe of pure white with no decoration. An oblong brooch or clasp held the ends of the mantle together at the top. It was all gold, as was the high and brilliant crown she wore. Her hair and eyes seemed medium brown, said Sister Mary Ephrem. Her feet were bare, but not always visible, sometimes covered by the moving clouds on which she stood. Often she smiled and revealed a heart encircled by roses that sent forth flames of fire. "I am Our Lady of America," said The Blessed Virgin. "I desire that my children honor me, especially by the purity of their lives." At times light twinkled from Mary's hair, wrote Sister Mary Ephrem, and seemed to radiate from within her.

On Monday, November 13, 2006, a new statue of Our Lady of America was publicly displayed for the first time at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). This statue, commissioned by an anonymous donor, was placed in the Concelebrated Mass Room (Marriott Waterfront Hotel 4th Floor Ballroom) at the Bishop's November meeting. Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, of Saint Louis had requested the display of Our Lady of America at this conference for the benefit of the Bishops.

At 2:15 PM in the Concelebrated Mass Room, on November 15th, 2006, His Excellency Raymond L. Burke blessed this new statue. This occurred on the 50th Anniversary to the day of Our Lady's request to be enthroned in the National Basilica Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C.

There is a lot to be read at the website (the messages, etc.), www.ourladyofamerica.com, and you'll find all your answers there.
I have seen the statue twice. Once in St. Patrick's Cathedral and once at the Bl. JP II Cultural Center, where the statue is still located. The Center is basically across, and a bit up, the street from the National Shrine. She is waiting on the Bishops.
Let me tell you that my experiences with this statue were deeply moving. Especially in D.C. - I know that the Shrine WILL be a place of wonders, and our country will be saved if only the Bishops do what was requested of them.
Carney is a fairly common name in the Irish-American community. Gotta take the bad with the good Oh, my peoples!
It’s so hard to imagine how things are going to go. Right now I’m thinking that America could be the next “Arab Spring” domino to fall. I’m thinking maybe an EMP attack by Iran from Venezuela, followed by Hezbollah operatives seizing the government in both DC and the state capitols. (Obama has been making sure that our southern border is open, in spite of the fact that Hezbollah operatives are being flown into Venezuela on direct unchecked flights. And Obama has been making sure that the troops we’d need to protect us from an “Arab Spring” in the USA are all stuck in Afghanistan instead - soon to become sitting targets for a massive attack...)
That would be the quick route for the communist-Islamist coup. Other scenarios could provide time for the slower resistance followed by concentration camps. I doubt there would be very much time where they would allow any resistance so we might not have anything to lose by trying what you’ve said.
We’re in uncharted territory here. A lot depends on how much people resist and in what ways. Even with Hezbollah operatives all over the place, America is a big place and for them to try to capture it all at once may be too much for them to even try. If there was an EMP attack remote areas would be on their own, but given that people are armed it might be difficult for Hezbollah to fan out from the big cities and clean out pockets of resistance.
I suspect that Obama will be long-gone when Washington DC is taken over, maybe he and his family will be on “vacation” to avoid the turmoil. He never wanted to govern. What he wanted was the perks of being POTUS, just like Michelle. He’s basically been doing an acting job, to get elected so that Soros could install the real work-horses for the communist-Islamist coup in the regulatory positions. Once the coup is complete he won’t have to hold up the facade of being the elected official and Soros can put whoever he wants in as the permanent dictator. Not sure who he has lined up for that job. And I’m not sure if he’ll keep whatever promises he made to Obama and Michelle about the luxury they’d live in after the full coup.
I’m just thinking out loud; haven’t really tought it through. Too many scenarios are possible, and I don’t think we’ve got anybody looking out for us to protect us from any of the scenarios.
No, it isn't exactly like auto insurance. You are required to hold liability auto insurance, to protect other people whom you may injure. You are not required to hold collision insurance to protect yourself. The Obama mandate is equivalent to requiring you to hold collision insurance, since it's to pay your medical bills.
Yes, but otherwise, the state ends up paying your medical bills, unless you happen to have assets (and many people do not).
In my mind, the big problem is that they are aiming for a single payer, and the government is requiring things in the coverage that should not be there...as Rush or perhaps Neal Boortz said once, it would be like having your auto insurance pay for your oil changes. Imagine the price!
But in this case, the government is using insurance to impose government policies (population control, for example).
“I hope Im wrong.”
You get your wish.
There is a battle going on within the Catholic Church that is similar to the culture war that rages in society at large.
There are theological leftists within the Catholic Church, yes, but because the Church’s foundations are solid, they have been unable to bring it down. It appears that evil within the Church has reached its high-water mark and is receding, laus Deo.
