If that's so, then Zero clearly doesn't understand it, nor the concept of rights in general nor the concept of separation of church and state.
People who think Obama did this naively or without realizing there’s be blowback are nuts. He knew exactly what he was doing. Just like everything else he’s done. It’s not “in over his head” stupidity, it’s part of his radical vision of a different country.
Anyone will tell you that you never go into a negotiation asking for the least you’ll accept - you always ask for the MOST. Then you back down if necessary and still end up getting most of what you wanted in the first place.
Look at Obamas #1 position - absolute mandate.
Then look at #2 - “the accomodation”, which merely shifts the responsibility for payment without altering the mandate.
Anyone care to guess what #3 will be? Rest assured it will not be complete recapitulation. That’s not in the playbook.
Already falling back to position #2 has gained a great deal of support from Catholics and others. He’ll probably fight like hell to go no further, and if he wins, he’s really won everything he wanted.
It is evil and wrong, but it is not a rookie mistake.
What a pathetic puff piece apologizing for the faux christian. The media are incorrigible!!!
The man may be religious or a Christian, but his main God is socialism, communism. He doesn’t try to avoid it and end up in the middle of it according to the article, his leanings want to conquer religion and religious people. A supposed learned scholar of the Constitution would steer very clear of the controversies he has had with faith. He does not cherish religious liberty or he would be willing to die for it. He would uphold his oath to defend the Constitution and the religious liberty of the citizen of the USA. His other God is abortion as his record indicates. His words are wholly vacuous and empty.
A veritable choir of spinners, all trying to make bad look like good.
Obama “steps in it” because he has to. The dog returns to his vomit.
Religion is baked into our system at a fundamental level. Our country was founded by people seeking religious freedom, including the freedom to good things within the framework of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Obama can’t make “fundamental changes” in America without getting rid of the religious component of our national heritage. He knows it and the “intellectuals” who are making his policies in the background know it too.
The thing I don’t understand is how any of this could possibly fly in the courts. When did the establishment clause become a dead letter? Obama seems to think everyone is going to just nod and sign away their rights under the first amendment.
Got news for you, Obama. That may fly among your crowd of phoney-baloney academic pseudo-intellectuals, but to make it fly in the real world you’re going to have to get rid of the second amendment first.
And you don’t have time to do that.
“What he probably needs is an office of faith awareness “...
Huh?? A new czar? A new committee?
Just wow....
I think the Bishops are pushing their luck, now. At first they said Catholic institutions shouldn’t be forced by the govt. to pay for contraceptions and abortions. Violation of church and state. But now they are moving the goalposts and saying ANYONE opposed to abortions and contraceptives on moral grounds should not be made to pay for them. So where does it stop? How about people who object to capital punishment on moral grounds. Should the govt. force them to pay for executions with their tax money? How about people who object to war on moral grounds. Should the govt. still be able to force them to finance war with their tax money? Theres probably a million other examples. The Bishops should just have stuck with religious institutions. By moving the goalposts they will lose a lot of the sympathy and support they have gained.
I suggest nobama had little to do with this decision. It was probably made by his aides and czars as nobama is not intelligent enough to handle something like this.
I've read articles about his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast. Remember, he didn't write that speech. He's incapable. It was written by someone else, loaded on the teleprompter and spewed by nobama.
This presidency must constantly be dumbed down to accommodate nobama.
Not any more.
How about all the Jews, evangelicals, etc. who voted for Obama?
“..an office of faith awareness..”
ahhhhh; a “Faith Awareness Czar”, that’s what he needs.
obama is a religious bigot, a racist, a communist, and a closet bisexual.
Why is a US President pondering contraception decisions for anyone but himself???
Then he compounds his woeful decision problems by messing with Afghanistan combat pay.
Having something confiscated from you involuntarily is not a sign of personal generosity or sacrifice. Sharing and giving is. This is even assuming everything the government would do with the money was appropriate - if it is just taken from you on a line on your paycheck, what generosity does that involve? You did not willingly give it or make any decision to sacrifice the money.
The ‘Anointed One’ had reached his level of incompetence long time ago, but neither he or the left wing news media wants to admit it. Too bad that a good portion of the public have to suffer this imbecile. It will be interesting when a few years from now some of the real history will come out and become public knowledge. Right now more is known about Jesus then about this creature who illegally occupies the public housing project in Washington.
It’s not Christianity he wants to destroy. It’s that damned Constitution and those absurd principles in the Declaration of Independence!
The Kenyan is trashing the constitution along with religion.
