This approach from Øbongo & co is so completely insane I had to look to see if it was one of your satires. Sadly, this one is real.
Thank you, Barry!
Of particular note, Obama has framed the argument as associated with protecting religious 'liberties', not 'rights'.
In Obama's thinking, the people are allowed to worship somebody other than him only because he allows that 'liberty'.
Same old denial.
I really hate that man.
Dear God please let a good republican win this year!
Church going Catholics (practicing) voted as a majority against the Marxist.
And the non-practicing Catholics don’t care what he does, as they are Catholic in name only.
Well said!
I think the obama admn has some internal polling that leads them to believe they can win this fight and that's why they stopped backtracking. Somehow the argument has to be moved away from a discussion about the RCC and contraception and back to State interference in religious institutions. A majority of Evangelical Christians have been opposed to obama from the get go so it's really not going to matter what we say.
I stand corrected (regretably). I thought perhaps such smart people would wise up. I hate to think they(the Jews) will still not get it when BO’s mussie relatives load them on cattle cars again.
I know they are pretty liberal, but if they are a part of your church your leadership should have some say in what they do.
I knew someone who was related to senior leadership, and a lot of them are pretty anti-Catholic.
If they are so "anti" why do they get away with using the name? It's a real lame argument to say that someone in your church "really isn't a member" when they do things that are wrong. We have the same problem with liberal Baptists and liberal Non-Denominational Christians. Typically they leave because they can't stand the heat.
Gloat, if it makes you feel good. Unfortunately, too many Catholics are of the Kennedy/Pelosi variety.
For the record there were quite a few of us Catholics shouting against this @$$ hat right from the start.
There needs to be a way to convince the Jewish population of the democRat disdain for them.
I am not sure if any of the leadership is Catholic. The ones I know about weren’t.
As a non-Catholic with Catholic friends and a respect
for the institution I have mixed emotions. The church
hierarchy has been in bed with liberals on various is-
sues in the past and will again be in the future so
they might be getting a little of what they deserve.
On the other hand, and more importantly, we have a
perfect example of the government acting as a wedge
between a church organization and its’ members.
That is scary and unconstitutional IMO...not good
news for anybody.
It is bothersome that so many Catholics seem to
support Obama’s so-called compromise. They miss
the point. I understand that many Catholics don’t
follow all church tenets. That is fine. But this
particular issue goes beyond the relationship be-
tween a person and his/her church. It is pure
governmental interference and it has to be resisted
whether or not one believes in cheap or free birth
control pills, abortions, or whatever.
As usual our problem is that it takes thought and
analytical skills to think like a conservative
while the opposition operates on emotion and BS
skills.
