Excerpted from BizPac Review: ost freedom-loving Americans celebrated the recently reported news that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor granted an order on Dec. 31 to temporarily halt the Obamacare mandate requiring the Little Sisters of the Poor to offer contraception.
When Attorney General Eric Holder dug in to fight the Little Sisters, country rock icon and conservative tweeter Charlie Daniels offered his encouragement to the nuns.

Until I saw this headline, I never thought of it that way, but the truth is that these nuns have more balls than boner and McConnell between them.
When nuns have more balls than you do it is time to hang head in shame.
Pun not intended.
He’s right. Most of the rest, including the gun owners, are just sitting on their hands hoping someone else will bai out the country.
And these nuns are wearing habits.
I met some of the nuns yesterday. Modest, humble, old-fashioned, servant-hearted, habited little women, but they do have strength and guts.
I forgot to give credit to JimRob for this.
to be fair, the NRA and gun owners did a damn fine job a year ago facing down the left on gun control. The Senate blinked big time and a lot of Dems in red states and districts got awfully quiet. Charlie’s point is right...too many duck down in fear of the left in the Obama era. This case is one of the few where people stood up and took them on. Certainly none of the loser GOP political class in Washington have.

Problem is that none of those in DC fear us anymore. They do as they want rather than represent the people.
You can bet that anyone who wants to run Egypt has to watch their P’s and Q’s because they know people won’t be sitting on their hands waiting for a miracle. If that were the case, Morsi would still hold the reins.
I will say it again, the only thing to cause them some real fear was a very active and angry Tea Party when people started flocking and hitting the streets in large numbers.
“....the NRA and gun owners did a damn fine job a year ago facing down the left on gun control.”
Yes, but please tell us why the NRA continues to support RINOs simply because they are pro-gun? Simply being pro-gun isn’t near enough. They need to say adios to the likes of Cornyn and other “senators” who in spite of their supposedly “pro gun” positions, screw the country in many other ways. In this regard the NRA is just like the US Chamber of Commerce!
Headline, at least, is not factual. There were over 60 lawsuits on the birth-control/abortifacient issue alone.
They are just not going to have anything to do with providing birth control.
The problem the admin is going to have with this is that these women will go to jail instead, but they are not going to have anything remotely to do with providing anyone birth control
The mistake people make is that they imagine the non aggressive true Catholic is weak and is like the weak pelosi Roberts Kennedy Dolan Sebelius kind of back slapping go along Catholic and are indicative of Catholicism
No
Anyone can pick up a $2.00 copy of or google ‘Humanae Vitae’ read it and have a complete understanding of what the nuns and what our culture is facing
But these nuns are not going to have anything to do with providing birth control
And we can stand up for their religious rights or parse it into some kind of judgment about how they should go along, birth control is no big deal
But the truth is, according to common sense and pope John Paul II, the philosopher, birth control is the root of a lot of evil and abortion, namely, and not the other way around
And the nuns will never comply
NRA goes by voting record alone, I believe. That is how they stay out of controversy. This policy sometimes causes them to endorse incumbents simply because the challenger has no voting record. Those who watch the NRA more closely, let me know if I’m wrong on this.
It is not so surprising that the nuns have guts. After all, they’ve already given up their lives for what they believe in.
“Problem is that none of those in DC fear us anymore. ..”
I’m surprised that even our conservative politicians are not talking much about the HHS mandate, which is against the First Amendment.
They need to hear from us.
My father is in a Little Sisters home in Chicago. I live nearby and visit and volunteer on a weekly basis. I will take some photos of this wonderful place. So much giving and Christianity in practice. These brave would will never comply. They serve God. What will Obama do then? Have the IRS seize their assets? Shutter their doors? Throw them and the old folks on the streets. They are under God’s protection. Obama and his feminist thugs will rue the day.
CatholicVote.org is mounting a big campaign against Obama care. They are sending mailings out requesting donations to fight for Catholic beliefs and family values and to fight Obama care in the courts.
I sent them money. I’m not Catholic. My Catholic neighbors voted for Obama & Obama care. Go figure.
If I remember correctly, Ted Cruz talked for over twenty hours about this
