I am sorry, but to refer to Catholics as a clan or tripe is offensive to me

Well. Obama’s spin is certainly tripe.

I'm joining the Catholics wholeheartedly! How dare my government who's salaries I am paying including the self appointed almighty one tell our doctors they must kill the innocents. I heard on the radio this AM that Kenya had to change it's constitution to allow abortion in order to receive future funds from the US! The president held up funds until they agreed. This administration is murderous! God help America!!!!

Call me anything you want, as long as 0bambi winds up on the short end of the stick.

BTW, called my rep and sen (who are both up for reelection) and reminded them that this is an election year and to inform the resident that he can put this rule right where the sun don’t shine.

Well, they've been called worse.

I called them worse after they sucked up to Obama, praising him like the Messiah at Notre Dame, giving him trophies for being the most extreme pro-abortionist in the WH, ever...

Sr. Carol Keehan, aka: Obama’s Nun.

What’s strange is that Keehan was pushing for Catholic hospitals to perform abortions, but not pay for them. How does she reconcile that?

Obamacare not only includes abortion, but assisted suicide, and Keehan was the top Catholic supporter of Obamacare, even testified before Congress in support of Obamacare.

Another problem with an article like this is the parochial nature of the argument. It permits Obama to divide the Christian faith by making this an argument over contraception/abortion rather than the narrowing of the First Amendment Free Exercise/Establishment Clause into a Sunday in church, “freedom of worship”.

Here is my takeaway:
1. Obama, the former constitutional law professor, so miscalculates the overwhelming reaction that during an election year he imposes measures that violate the First Amendment right to freedom of religion. What a rookie - even after 3 years - ojt is not working!
2. Most importantly, if reelected, Obama will be completely unrestrained by the electorate and will impose as yet unknown government rules and regulations that will satisfy his sole vision of the world. This November is “make or break” for this country.

The problem is the innoculation Obama has from being known to be non-Christian, even Muslim. He has said he is Protestant, so any article wishing not to be thrown away by saying otherwise just goes along with that.

That’s the cost of a slave mass media and a population that still won’t realize the corrupted nature of the information they are being fed.

“Even former Democratic Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper, a Catholic from Erie, Pa., who cast a crucial vote in favor of Obamacare in 2010, said recently that she would have never voted for the health care bill if she had known Obamacare would force Catholic hospitals and charities to provide contraception and abortion pills. “

Shoulda read the bill you stupid slut!

Carl Rove was on Greta last night and before I could turn him off, he started talking about the Obama war with the Catholic Church, and I listened.

Greta asked Rove if this issue would stick around or if Obama had successfully put it off until after the election. Rove said that this story isn’t going away, partially because some Catholics, led by Ed Gillespie, are starting a national movement for freedom to practice their religion according to the beliefs of that religion. Rove noted that Catholics are a very large demographic group in this country, that includes Hispanics and many union workers.

What Obama underestimated in this issue is that, while individuals who profess to be Catholic, may not follow all the tenets of their church, or even agree with those beliefs, they still respect the Catholic Church, itself. It’s like insulting a family member when Obama insults the Catholic Church. The fallen or disaffected Catholics, jump to the defense - and other Christians will, as well.

The fact that Sr. Keehan, Obama’s Nun has taken a stand in defense of the Catholic Church is proof of this.

Obamacare opened up a whole new front for the killers of the innocent. The government death panels will dictate who lives and who dies though assigning economic value to the lives of human beings... The elderly and handicapped, who offer not economic value to the collective, will be the new frontier for the leftist killers.

The left is laughing its arse off. This is exactly what they want. All political debate is about time place and manner of “government rights.” Ultimate control of the people. The ball advances. The fact that they are distracting from the repeal issue is VICTORY for the left. We should be absolutely uniform in our rejoinder. REPEAL the bastard un-Constitutional legislation in its entirety!!!! Forget the Marco Rubio legislation that concedes the playing field. REPEAL!!!!!

Maybe it will suppress the lefty catholic/social justice types from turning out.
If they can’t bring themselves to vote R - maybe they will stay home.

Obama is merely reflecting the same attitude as Justice Ginsberg. To him and her, the Constitution is like that old Maxwell that “Rochester” drove for “Jack Benny” on the radio and TV. Just an old thing whom they are required to work with, but which ought to be replaced with something newer and more efficient.

Well, I guess I am an elder who will escape the death panel because I’ll be working to pay taxes for the freeloaders for the rest of my life. We have to clean house of these arrogant, murderous, godless bunch of garbage. If we don’t though, God will eventually and it won’t be nice for them.
Of course, on the other hand, I may be picked first for the oven because I am a mouthy conservative!
