Jason Hines, an attorney, is completing his PhD in church-state studies at Baylor University.

He needs a new career path.

I see the corporation like a mechanism controlled by its owner just like one would drive a car. To confuse the corporation with the individual who owns it is like someone who thinks that the car is a living thing. Perhaps if you were a visitor from another planet and observed those pesky things running down those roads, you would think the cars were alive. However, for a educated person to make that sort of mistake makes me think he is flying so high on pot that he might just as well be from another planet.

Yet another example of the intellectual vapidity of socialism.

Yep - his "reasoning" was about as tortured as Roberts' declaration on ObamaCare.

Suggest you study and learn the true meaning of the Declaration and the founding of this Christian nation before you post another blog entry.

They could start here:

 

 

 

Mayflower Compact

 

In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, defender of the Faith, etc.

Having undertaken, for the Glory of God, and advancements of the Christian faith and honor of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents, solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God, and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal laws, ordinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.In witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the 11th of November, in the year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord King James, of England, France, and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty-fourth, 1620.

There is no constitutional authority whatsoever for the federal government to involve itself in religion or health care.

Or Education...

Or Housing...

Or most things that the Federal Gov't camel has stuck his nose into; tentwise!

[Elsie]

No, corporations are not "people."

Soylent Green is!

[Sirius Lee]

How great it is to have a loving God who gives me the freedom to make my own decisions and gives me the tools to make the right ones instead of a God who tries to coerce me into His righteousness by burdening my decisions any way He can. Now if we can just get His followers to do the same….

...by use of government force...

[Elsie]

Looks like meat's back on the menu boys!!!

Thanks be to GOD for cold weather again in SLC!!!

THE

DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS

OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 89:11-13

11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.

12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;

13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

IUDs don’t just maybe sometimes cause abortions. That’s how they work.

[bigheadfred]

Just woke up from the annual tryptophan inducted coma.

[Arrowhead1952]

Second, I think Hobby Lobby is confused as to what they are actually funding.

I think ReligiousLibertyTV is confused as to what web site you are posting on.

[Yardstick]

Right, the left wants corporations to be people just enough that they can be bossed around but not enough that they can have rights.

[Chode]

Amen...

[darkangel82]

This turkey is stuffed. IATZ.

Or any other social issue whatsoever. As we all know, the federal government is restricted by the constitution from anything other than its clearly enumerated powers. All else is left to the states and the people. We desperately need to hit the reset button.

[Steve_Seattle]

"If the argument can be made, “Keep the government out of my bedroom”"

Of course, the government never was in anyone's bedroom, so this pro-abortion and pro-contraceptive argument has always been bogus. But even as a metaphor, libs do not really believe it - they WANT government to take an active role in "the bedroom", to take THEIR side on reproductive issues by subsidizing Planned Parenthood, giving out free condoms, etc.

[Condor51]

Go to hell, TROLL.

[Elsie]

We desperately need to hit the reset button.

You're done a great job in creating one here, Jim.

The Left controls the 'education' process, so our battle is a real tough one.

I can only pray there will be found 10 righteous folks!
