I think the pantywaists at the Atlantic mean “gay wrongs”.

Wait... gays need birth control? I am... so confused.

“The narrative that’s now beginning to form is that Democrats are against religion. It’s not true, and it’s very dangerous.”

BULLSTALIN. It's very true.

Is this sarcasm? Satire?

[yetidog]

Let’s hope so!

Nancy Pelosi and others realized after they lost the 2004 election that they had to add more "God talk" to their policy rhetoric ("Jesus would WANT Obamacare, "I am my brother's keeper", etc.) to close the "God gap" (their own term).

They aren't religious. They need to shuck and jive to sway the "bitter clingers" (in the black community) who still follow all that religious mumbo jumbo.

[upchuck]

But the major conflict that has erupted in the wake of that decision has been between religious freedom and gay rights.

HUH???

The Hobby Lobby case had nothing to do with queers and fags.

What use do "gay" people have for birth control?

The queers are pushing mighty hard to turn the Hobby Lobby case into a queers case.

Democrats are against Christianity and Biblically founded morality. They are fine with religion and statolatry. As long as leftists can make up their own morality, or use the State to determine what is morally acceptable and what isn’t, the left is happy. It’s when the State’s immoral hegemony falls short of the left’s hedonistic ambitions that Democrats get huffy.

[elcid1970]

Reading the comments at The Atlantic site; there’s some real hatred for religious people, with atheists denying that Stalin, Hitler & Mao were atheistic mass murderers.

When CWII begins, it’s going to be apocalyptic.

[GreenHornet]

The Hobby Lobby decision is settled law, therefore, the left has no right to complain. (Isn’t that what we were told about Obamacare?)

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I really don’t get what the reward is for reading these long, navel-gazing Atlantic articles. All this time goes by and you learn nothing about random points of ideation that nobody could give a crap about. You submit your mentality to be led down rubbish-strewn corridors that smell of bodily functions, again, leading to conclusions nobody could give a crap about.

[freedomfiter2]

That’s crazy talk. Democrats are only opposed to Christianity. All other religions are tolerated.

[Amendment10]

Many low-information citizens evidently do not understand that the only rights in the constitutional republic are those rights which the states have amended to the Constitution. And the reason that we are hearing so much about arbitrary, PC civil rights, such as gay marriage and forcing an employer to pay for birth control drugs, is the following.

Corrupt lawmakers and corrupt judges are wrongly promising such "rights" to win both votes and political support in order to seize control of the perceived powers of the federal government, powers which the states have never expressly delegated to the feds via the Constitution.

As a side note concerning the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, please consider the following. The states would sure be a dull, boring place to grow up and live in if parents were to make sure that their children were taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. /sarc

Thomas Jefferson had put it this way:

“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

In fact, forget about traditional salesman / sucker cliches like "buying the Brooklyn Bridge." Voters now have to deal with the problem that they have foolishly traded their votes for constitutionally nonexistent rights and federal spending programs based on constitutionally nonexistant federal government powers.

In the Hobby Lobby decision handed down last month, the Supreme Court was asked to strike a balance between women’s rights and religious freedom.

Do liberals ever write an article without lying in the first sentence? I stopped there. This case had NOTHING to do with "women's rights". Nothing at all. Stinking liars.

[SoFloFreeper]

We can only hope.
