| We now have the US government dictating who is and who is not sufficiently religious to escape the ObamaCare abortifacient mandate. The Obama administration is claiming that a dedicated Christian publisher of Bibles and ministry material is insufficiently religious to qualify for an exemption to the contraception mandate in the president’s health-care overhaul. According to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in the District of Columbia by Tyndale House Publishers, the company has been refused a “religious employer” exemption because the Health and Human Services Department categorically maintains that any for-profit publisher is not a “religious employer.”

Comments:
You couldn't make this up if you had to. It's getting so tiresome living in an alternate universe. They're not a religious employer and they publish Bibles?? Stunning. Just stunning.

Does anyone else remember why the most perfect comic strip of all time is no longer being written?
Google "Bill Watterson" and read the Wikipedia article about him. It is a real-life case of Atlas shrugging. To this day, I miss "Calvin and Hobbes" but I have enormous respect for its creator and his refusal to bow to the rules of syndication. He won.
When do we simply NOT comply anymore? What is the tipping point?

As much as I hate to admit it, the goobermint is probably right on this one. Tyndale is a book publisher, regardless of what they specialize in. Unless they are owned and operated by a church or a denomination which publishes as a side operation to their normal religious activities, they are are unfortunately trapped by the ObamaCare law as now written. Thanks, Justice Roberts! Of course, they could take the Vietnam draft resistor course and claim conscientious objector status and engage in a little civil disobedience, but they do so at their own risk. Forcing citizens to engage in acts that go against religious beliefs and conscience is why ObamaCare must be repealled in its entirety. Thanks again, Justice Roberts!

This is just the beginning. And this is why we need to stand with the Catholic Church, whether or not we are Catholic or agree with Catholic doctrine, or even Christian or any other religious doctrine.
The Catholic Church is the largest and most organized Church. The BO regime must destroy it.
All leftist/communist regimes demolish religious expression, liberty. The State must be all and in all.
This is about Liberty, about our First Amendment. If they can chip away Religious Liberty, the rest of the Amendment falls apart. Then, there is nothing left, because everything hinges on these First Amendment Rights.
This is also why the corruption of the Press is so very, very serious and destructive of this Republic.
This is an incredibly audacious action. Call your Congressmen.
I'll bet #4 is right.

Just watched the movie, " For The Greater Glory" , about the 1926 Mexican Resistence against the Government for their Religious freedom. The Government was surpressing the Catholics from worshipping.
Is this suppression coming to us under a second Obama term.

The members of the Taylor family who own Tyndale House are deeply devoted Christian people. Their business was started after the late Kenneth Taylor penned the Living Bible so his children would better understand the Bible. This is not just a "business." It is a family-owned ministry. All this makes one wonder what kind of demonic forces are at work in the Obama administration.

Its time for all the private businessmen to go "Galt". Just close down their businesses and refuse to cave to the dictator and his regime. Once the people start revolting over the loss of jobs things will change. Of course Zippy is such an idealogue, he wouldn't change even if the peasants were waving burning torches and pitch forks around the gates of the White House.

When the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon, highly trained dogs were rushed to the scene to search for more explosives. Boston police have said dogs swept the streets in the morning and a second time just an hour before the first marathoners crossed the finish line. It´s considered likely that the bombers planted their devices well after the dogs finished sweeping the area. Since 9/11, dogs have been used more than ever because nothing has proven more effective against hidden bombs than the nose of a working dog. The best of them serve with U.S. Special Operations

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, is awake in a Boston hospital and responding in writing to questions, a law enforcement official said Sunday. Investigators who have been waiting to interrogate Tsarnaev are looking into the possibility that his neck wound was self inflicted, a federal law enforcement official said. The official, who has been briefed on the matter but is not authorized to comment publicly, said that suspicions of a suicide attempt before he was captured center on the small appearance of the entry wound and larger exit wound area.

Discussing the need to find the motivation behind such events, the panelists further debated the pros and cons of the extra-vigilant era we’re entering. “You can’t get intel on the lone operators,” Brokaw elaborated, noting details about the suspect, adding, “He’s also a Muslim.

Making the point that the Tsarnaev brothers’ Muslim faith at the moment bears little relevance to the investigation into the brothers’ decision to attack the Boston Marathon last week, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry observed that Tsarnaev’s faith is about as relevant to the investigation right now as are Ben Affleck movies about violent events in Boston. Her panel guests agreed and added that Americans have to “otherize” violent actors in order to absolve themselves from responsibility for or connection to their violence. “We don’t really know,” said Harris-Perry, throwing her hands up

Americans should not decide their opinions about the Boston terror attacks until the government decides its own opinion, President Barack Obama told the nation late Friday night. “There’s a temptation to latch on to any bit of information, sometimes to jump to conclusions,” Obama warned during his 10:05 p.m. EST speech from the White House. “But when a tragedy like this happens … it’s important that we do this right,” he claimed. “That’s why we have investigations … That’s why we have courts.

I’ll return tomorrow for the Senate Judiciary Committee’s second hearing on the new immigration reform bill. Let me put it in context. There are four specific provisions in this immigration reform bill that will make America safer. We are going to have a stronger border with Mexico. We are going to have 11 million people come forward and have an opportunity to register with our government, out of the shadows. We’re going to have verification of employment in the work place.

The alteration occurred the night before Secretary Napolitano vehemently denied the existence of any deportation order in testimony before the House of Representatives.

There were no indications Sunday that President Obama will visit the West, Texas, site of a fertilizer plant explosion that leveled part of a small town, leaving more than a dozen dead and dozens more unaccounted for. Obama mentioned the tragedy in his Friday night statement on the capture of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. “Let me say that even as so much attention has been focused on the tragic events in Boston, understandably, we’ve also seen a tight-knit community in Texas devastated by a terrible explosion.

In 1962, at the Carlyle Hotel in New York, a man “peeled off his clothing and began prancing around his hotel suite.” His bodyguards were cautiously amused, until the man “left the suite and began roaming through the corridor of the Carlyle.” The man in question was delusional, paranoid and suffering a “psychotic break” from the effects of an overdose of methamphetamine. He was also the president of the United States. The reason for John F. Kennedy’s bizarre behavior was that, according to an explosive new book, the president was — unbeknownst to him, at first — a meth addict.

Any inquiry into the marathon bombing will look into whether agents could have taken action – but didn’t – to prevent the Tsarnaev brothers from obtaining the explosives that killed 3 and wounded 173 others. CBS News reported Friday evening that two years ago, the FBI interviewed the elder brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in Thursday night´s dramatic shootout.

So once again, no good deed goes unpunished. Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get? They turn into mass murderers. We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong? This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law.

With one suspect dead, authorities believe answers to a motive and whether the brothers had help rest with Dzhokar Tsarnaev, who was captured Friday night just minutes after authorities had indicated that a massive manhunt for the suspect appeared to come up empty.
