With regards to government intervention into religion, the First Amendment to the US Constitution states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” First, Congress is the Constitutional body that has the authority to make laws for the United States of America. Second, it is to steer clear of anything pertaining to freedom of religion.
The president of the United States has no authority—whatsoever—to make any laws or influence religion in any way, whatsoever. Therefore, Obama had and has NO authority to demand that anyone or any body—let alone the Catholic or any other Christian Church or Jewish synagogue—must appease him by providing birth control, abortions or anything else the tyrant requires. Further, he does not have the authority to compromise or ‘work a deal’ with any Church about anything. Question: Does anyone in this country still remember that the US Constitution is our foundational LEGAL document? And what is it about “no authority” that seems to confuse so many of the Obama media?
As I have written over and over again for years, if Obama is allowed to get away with flaunting the Constitution and its essential Bill of Rights, it’s as if our founding document no longer exists and Obama may now make up any law he wants to install.
But, as Congress continues to illegally give Obama more and more dictatorial powers (sadly, I wrote that—if Obama was elected—this would occur in October 2008), we have now reached the point that Obama is—fully—the Dictator-in-Chief of the USA. I have also written myriad columns warning that Obama is grabbing more and more power for himself, gutting more and more programs in order to pull in more and more money for himself and his friends yet, no one in Congress or the courts are even trying to stop him. And all too many of the former We-the-People will do anything about it.
As Obama continues to decimate our economy by destroying the US treasury and gut any of our remaining freedoms in order to force us into submission, I’m reminded of the tribes of Israel when they originally settled in Egypt. Genesis 47:19 states: “Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.” They were willing to become slaves to Pharaoh for bread and grain.
Knowing that Obama truly is the one who has systematically devastated our country—by design—in order to subjugate its people (he is a true Alinskyite) are we, nonetheless, now ready to be his slaves? Are you?
Just when I thought the racist right couldn’t get any sick and disgusting, they keep proving my both right and wrong! Especially (excluding Matt) all of these pukes swallow the words of these scumbag Neo-Nazi Racists like Mark Levin and his fellow Neo-Nazi racists at the 2012 CPAC! I said last year that crap like this was gonna happen!
I don’t get it, birth control wasn’t a big deal in America 20 years ago… why is it now?
There’s been a backlash by conservatives, some religious, some not. Progress is made in this country by taking 2 steps forward, and then forced 1 step back. It amazes me that the religious groups think it is immoral to use birth control and that these Republicans, who are supposed to be about personal liberty, think that this is ok! Women have the right to CHOOSE whether they want to start a family or not. Every time I hear one of the Repubs speak, I realize how much I dislike them (except RP)
The President arrived at a solution that satisfied all direct parties to the controversy. It is a compromise (if you even want to call it that) that gives up nothing—women will still be able to make their own decisions on birth control without having to run it past a bureaucrat, politician, or church official. It’s about choice and women are still the ones who get to make that choice. The GOP would like to take that choice away from women. President Obama, to his credit, didn’t let them.
I have lived under 13 U.S. presidents, and I can say without hesitation that George W. Bush is the worst president of my lifetime, and he may well be the worst ever. One would have to go all the way back to James Buchanan to find a president of equal incompetence.
The last thing America needs is another “businessman” like Bush. He had (whether he earned it or not) an MBA, for gosh sakes, and he was the worst president ever.
Show me anywhere in the world where Obama is a Marxist. “There is none”
Only in the mind of the “conservative” scum bags is our President a Marxist.
This is the thing with conservatives. They don’t know the first thing about Marx or his writings, yet they label everyone a “Marxist” like the term actually means something.
Anyone thinking that Obama is Anti-American needs to cover themselves up and brace for reality, soon.
I wish you were joking but we all know that you are not and that GOP would be willing to do anything including destroying the country to keep Obama from a second term. Just look at what they did with the debt ceiling fiasco. The right held out held out held out saying they weren’t going to vote yes until their demands were meet. Well those demands were never meet the US credit rating took a hit. The only good thing from that was the American people knew who to blame the GOP.
How can you even think President Obama is evil? That’s easy, because they are hate-filled racists! The scumbags here Believes anyone that does not look like him is Evil. Spoken like a racist and a refugee from the fact challenged Fox News.
As for Obama being socialist or communist or far left. Name what he’s done that is socialist, communist, or far left. Easy NONEWHATSOEVER!
Obama reacted the right way, and considered a thoughtful compromise to those who got their panties in a bunch over this non-issue.
And no, Obama ISN’T a Muslim, Communist, Marxist, or leftist extremist.
He has governed more to the center, than the last 4 POTUS’s.
But who says that Obama wants to be a dictator – other than less than reliable sources as Limbaugh, Beck, and Fox Noise?
Also, where in the Bible does it say “thou shalt not have contraception”?
How about him being a dictator. Would you like to have a dictator? Bush Jr said we should have one, and he should be that one. Did you like that? I can’t imagine anything worse that a dictator. Obama is not a dictator; he just finally got aggressive after the pugs killed all things he wanted to do.
It’s obvious why scumbags like you want him jailed Not for treason he never committed – or bribery he never did – or high crimes and misdemeanors he has never done!- not for any real impeachable offense – but only because the President is black! their only disgusting reason! It’s so obvious!
Despite the incessant screams of “Traitor!” coming from the Right, Obama hasn’t actually committed treason You can’t impeach President Obama because he has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor, they only crime he committed was being black and they hate that! That’s why they create bogus charges of crimes!
I’ll come out and say it. Anyone who calls Obama a “Clear and Present Danger to this country” is, without doubt, a fact-challenged racist. THAT is a fact! I noticed I remember past President’s doing stuff like this, but why is it Anti-American when President Obama does it? Racism or Double Standards, It’s one of the two.
Oh, and by the way, check this out:

But you repeat these ridiculous lies anyway, because you can’t say the real reason you hate Obama: THEY CAN’T STAND A BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
I suppose Canada is racist also since this article came from Canada Free Press. As for the rest of your rant, “begging the question” is not a defense against facts.
I don’t get it, birth control wasn’t a big deal in America 20 years ago… why is it now?
Yes, you’re right, I agree with you … you don’t get it.
The issue is not about birth control. It’s about the President of the United States forcing a religion to do something.
For many decades, including the 20 years that you can remember, Catholics have not tried to prevent anyone else from using birth control, the church simply says that Catholics should not.
When the honky-half of Obama insists that the Catholic church violate their principles by providing birth control to employees, he stepped far, far outside his authority and power; far enough to be in violation of the Constitution. That is the reason for objection by the church and by us ‘racist’ rightwingers. If he had tried to force Catholics to administer free heroin to employees, the results would have been the same. We would object and you would call us racists.
So, go ahead and CHOOSE whether to start a family or not, go for it! See if we give a shit.
But try to dictate to us what we must do in that regard, and we will kick shit.
Please note that my comments about Obama cannot be interpreted as racist -because I addressed them to his honky half.
Ok, you’re right on this one too:
real reason you hate Obama: THEY CAN’T STAND A BLACK MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Tis true, sorta. I absolutely cannot stand this particular black man being in the white house. If I had the power, I’d personally drag him out and replace him with Allen West.
um …. Bubba?
Allen West is black too.
West is … what?
Black. No.
Yes?
Crap, I suk at this racist stuff.
You’d think I’d get the hang of it after three whole years.
“Every time I hear one of the Repubs speak, I realize how much I dislike them (except RP)” That’s REALLY rich, considering RP is the only candidate who actually published Neo-Nazi approved racist newsletters!
