King Obama vs. the Catholic Church

And you thought Henry VIII stuck it to the Pope? He couldn't light a candle to King Obama.

The real story about Barack Obama, the Catholic Church and contraception is being missed by the news media. In another political blunder, Barack Obama instructed Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, feminist extraordinaire, to require any health insurance policy offered to employees by a Catholic sponsored institutions to include contraceptive services including access to free birth control pills and abortion services. Any practicing Catholic knows that is a sin in the eyes of the church. This was done in direct violation of promises made to the Catholic Church by Obama during the Obamacare debate from whence this edict emanated. As in all things Obama…all together now…look at what he does, not what he says.  He is a lying snake in the grass.

This is wrong on so many levels it’s hard to know where to start. Let’s pick one. I want to understand this. Obamacare requires that contraception be offered in all employer provided health care policies for “free” in order to preserve women’s rights. Is birth control now a right? Really? Just as an aside, here is some free birth control advice that works: keep it zipped and keep your legs together. I guarantee no one will get pregnant.

But the bigger issue is that government can issue “waivers” from the requirements of Obamacare, including this one. And Obama has taken full advantage of this “waiver” privilege to allow his friends, mostly unions and companies that cater to unions, off the Obamacare hook while the rest of us dangle in the wind. Now King Obama can sit on his throne and decide who will be subjected to the horrors of Obamacare and who will not. He is omnipotent and all powerful. In this case, feminists and progressive leftists are at war with the Catholic Church over abortion, and King Obama decided to side with his leftist base and stick it up the church’s seven sacraments.

Is this kind of America you want? This socialist thug from Chicago and his Democratic cohorts pass a draconian piece of legislation in effect taking over 1/5 of the United States economy and then give themselves complete arbitrary power to decide who has to comply and who doesn't. What America do I live in? Do you really want Barack Obama to decide those kinds of issues? Because listen folks, if he can do it with this he can do it with anything! This is serious and scary stuff, and so un-American in its execution it is beyond the comprehension of most folks in the country.

Nancy Pelosi said that they had to pass Obamacare to see what was in it. Well…this is one little nugget that pits Obama against the Catholic Church. Today it is birth control. Tomorrow he will push the envelope a little further, maybe limit education in the Catholic Schools, or force the church to ordain women…any ideological concept du jour…he will try to shove down the church’s and our collective throats.

I am glad to hear that a number of states are banning together once again to challenge this in the courts. Let’s start with the equal protection clause of the Constitution then move to freedom of religion and freedom of speech…and revisit the commerce clause. Obamacare, and this President who overtly stated the Constitution is getting in the way of his grand vision, is dangerous.

Please, please, please pay attention to what this man is doing, and not what he says, and especially what the news media says he says. Freedom is precious, and we are losing it to big brother day by day.
