When the Framers were putting together the Constitution in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787, they knew the states would not adopt it without written guarantees that the new central government would respect natural rights. The supporters of the Constitution promised political leaders in the states that the written guarantees would soon be added as amendments, and they were. By late 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified and added to the new Constitution.
The purpose of the Bill of Rights was to assure all in America that their natural rights areas of human choices for which a permission slip from the government cannot be required and in which the government cannot coerce compliance with its wishes would not be impaired by the federal government. Since the ratification of the 14th Amendment, the natural rights protected in the Bill of Rights generally have been insulated from interference by the states, as well.
All natural rights are of paramount importance to all persons. They are individualized personal gifts from the Creator and have been recognized as such in American law since Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed with them by Him

Just too bad that the Little Sisters of the Poor don't have $50,000 stuffed in a coffee can somewhere. They could just pay off the muslim-in-chief and be exempted from commiecare. Money talks with this crooked SOB. It's all about show me the money.

I think they’d have to add a couple of ‘zeros’ to that amount.

Eh, he DOES mock the faith of nuns, as do a majority of Americans.
Heck, a majority of people who claim to be Catholic dont get the muns’ point about birth control.
The nuns are 100% right

I can’t change the title of article. Yes this crooked imposter mocks the faith of nuns and anyone else, and Republicans bow down to their master.
If there were any justice in this country Federal marshals would arrest this imposter, putting him in shackles and chains, take him to the nearest Federal detention facility, where he would be held indefinitely, before being charged with high crimes and treason against the United States. But since we are not a nation of laws anymore, that will never happen.

And Biden would replace him, putting Hillary in charge as Veep with Boehner still next in line.
And they’re worse than the Romney Ryan team who would have, unopposed, amnestied every illegal by now, and given them the pensions of our military. So I am not seeing how no is worse than the alternative
We are a nation of laws, but the people in charge, and, dare I say, their bosses, the voters, are so comfortable and corrupt, taking our nation for granted that there is going to be a lot of clean up to do
The nuns are going to the Supreme Court. If they lose it will be another disappointment with the court whose members include some very unqualified and also very questionable people
And the nuns, if they lose, will have to shut down ops taking care of old and poor people. And it will look bad but will be buried in the media
And the media is not all to blame. People are not interested

The Little Sisters of the Poor should tell them:
We believe that the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is the most VILE and EVIL man on the face of EARTH!
He has ignored every law there is in the United States Constitution.
He has filled the Department of Justice with criminals, who have no respect for the laws of this Nation.
He has appointed people over the military, who despise the military.
We say again,"The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, the man who forged three separate birth documents, is the most EVIL, UNTRUSTABLE, and VILE man on the face of Earth.
Only idiots and the evil voted for Obama, or ANY of the Democrats.
They've lied to us, constantly, and really are
"Collapsing the System". And now, these "Useful IDIOTS" who voted for them, are buying the lies that "Obamacare was designed to work." ?
It was designed to fail from the start.
THEN ... THEY GO TO THE
"SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM".
They've been sucking our wallets dry for over four years now on the "Obamacare" LIE.
AND NOW THEY WANT MORE TAXES ?
Our Founding Fathers would have hung them already!
Lets review:
Who was it that cut future funding for Medicare by $575 billion?
...the president and the Democratic Party successfully bamboozle voters... The 2012 election could turn on this falsehood.
The truth is that the Obama health law reduces future funding for Medicare by $575 billion over the next 10 years ...
Mr. Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius frequently make that false claim.
Indeed, even Medicare's mailings to seniors repeat the claim
that reducing spending on Medicare will make it more financially secure for future years.
The fact is that Mr. Obama's law raids Medicare.
Who was it that moved Medicare Trust Funds out of the "trust box" and into the General Revenue, replacing them with Government I.O.U.s?
Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?
The History of Medicare
In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.
Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.
On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."
Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.
The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.
...(continued at link)
So Democrats,
Sen Mark Kirk's
statement Thursday, Dec 1, 2011 ...
"There are 55 million Social Security beneficiaries that will see little or no extra cash from this 2012 tax holiday;
instead, the dedicated payroll contributions meant to pay for future benefits are being diverted from the Trust Fund
and replaced with Treasury debt that does not even have a AAA credit rating.
Social Security was designed to be independent and free from the danger of Congressional manipulation,
and maintaining the firewall between the Social Security Trust Fund and general government funding is the best way to maintain the solvency of this important program.
Neither bill protects the Social Security Trust Fund
so I voted no. "
It's not our fault that
DEMOCRATS raided the Social Security Trust Fund. Let's remember ...
Not ALL are to blame for the empty lock box.
It's the Democrats Communists.
Let's take a deeper look.
Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!

It’s hard to identify the most evil action taken by the thug in our White House, but bullying nuns has to be high on the list. Obama disgusts me.
