| The Obama administration’s latest revision of its contraceptive policy was welcomed by some religious people as a breakthrough, even a “miracle.” Upon reflection, it seems less like the parting of the Red Sea than a parlor trick. At issue is whether Obamacare’s broad mandate of insurance coverage for contraceptives, sterilization and abortifacients should apply to institutions with moral objections. For more than a year, the administration has struggled to clarify a set of regulations, while provoking 44 legal challenges.

Depends if you are a ´Real´ Catholic or one like Biden, Pelosi, or Kerry ~ they are already fooled and fools to believe they are not useful idiots that will be thrown under the bus before Obama is through with us.

Is anyone stupid enough to believe that this is anything other than an unconstitutional threat to religious freedom? This administration is an embarrassment to everyone with a brain!

Everything Obama has ever done as "president" was meant to fool people. Everything Obama will ever do as "president" will be meant to fool people. Given that the Left is based upon a complete lie, there is no other way it can be.

The Obama crew must have feared losing in court to move the goalposts like they did by suddenly revising that administration policy?

Call me a conspiracist but given the history of this odious President and his evil cabal, this latest "contraception rule" looks more like another backdoor attempt to squash Christianity in America.
This isn´t about getting the money from religious organizations, nor is it about making them pay for contraception. It is about chipping away more mortar from the foundation stone of Christianity, and for that matter, all religion in America except Islam, who seem to have free rein in changing our culture and our laws.

so how does this situation compare to the religious conscientious objectors during the Vietnam draft? seems to me like if you´re going to treat Catholics this way, any kind of "religious" objection to any government policy goes out the door. can´t have it both ways. or maybe Obama can, unfortunately.

I went to a " meet and greet" with Ken Cuccinelli last night. He is the Virginia AG who filed the first ( I believe ) lawsuit against 0bamacare within minutes of it being signed into law. He is now running for governor against Terry McAuliffe - the renter of the Lincoln Bedroom for the Clinton´s and man behind the Global Crossing disaster.
If I understood him correctly, Cuccinelli says that the solution to this attack on religions is for states to NOT set up healthcare exchanges. No exchange means that businesses, schools, churches, etc can not be fined. I hope he´s right on that. Virginia is not setting up an exchange.

I have an "accomodation" for Obama: Since we are talking abortifacents and how Catholics have to make sure they are offered, let´s do a retroactive abortive action and apply it to Pelosi, Reid, Kerry, etc. Let´s go ahead and declare the democrat party an endangered species and work in that direction.
In regards to the Supremes, after the revolution and the vile leaders are put to sleep, the Patriot Council will review the recent decisions of the Supreme Court: any judge who has been shown to judge with a tack towards/for liberal agenda time and time again will be judged/declared biased, incapable of impartiality, summarily pushed out the window of their Supreme Court office. Hello Kagin and Sotomayor? Buh bye! Yes the traitor on healthcare gets the same treatment.

No doubt most Catholics who voted for Obama are cool with abortion, etc., or else are completely oblivious. This last group is too involved with watching Obama Network News, Honey Boo Boo, Girls, or Monday Night Football for this to register with them. And if you tried to warn them, they would insist you are dead wrong.

The Catholic church, the only large group now with its panties in a twist, actually hopped into bed with the left back in the 1960´s. Now they are complaining about the fleas and bed bugs that are biting them! It´s the Vatican that is now driving this boat and a few (very few) older, conservative bishops. That´s it. The laity slowly turned left and are okay with it all. My local parish priest practically demanded that we voted for Obama --- or we must look at why we weren´t doing that and it might be because we are racists!

Why is it so important to Obama that Catholics have to be made to kill the innocent? There are plenty of non Catholic hospitals who comply to this deed. Why the Catholics and then Christian community? Does he need this for a reason? Isn´t their enough blood shed in the United States America already?

I think the dividing line among the laity is based upon regular Mass attendance. Those that are active in the Faith and receive the Sacraments regularly see through the Obama deception. Its the "cultural Catholics" who no longer practice their Faith, but still retain a romantic notion about identifying themselves as Catholic, that are the useful idiots that skew towards liberal shibboleths. (Caveat: Too many of the faithful laity are bound to that 1960´s union with the left that #11 described.)
"Progressivism" requires that the great monotheistic religions, which built western civilization, be destroyed. They think they are using Islam for this purpose and once Christianity and Judaism are gone they will be able to dispatch the muzzies. Stupid suicidal liberals.
I´ve been struggling since the election to find any reason to continue to believe in our political process. The GOP has made it abundantly clear that they consider their base to be an obstacle, and defending our constitutional rights too much to ask. There is nothing left to render under Caesar.
I will render all unto God. He is my rock and my fortress. Let me know when the shooting starts. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. (If you stocked up back in "09.)

I don´t understand why more priests and highers up don´t call out piglosi, kerry (I was in Vietnman) and sicbilis. I can´t judge (errr, but it is hard not to) but surely our spiritual leaders can call them to account. The kenyan idiot is trying to stand out Christianity and Judism. There is NO reasonable basis to send fighter jets to the muslim brotherhood (fka Egypt) other than to arm them to attack Israel. These are scary times.

A three-minute video of Sarah Merkle’s testimony about Maryland’s new gun legislation has drawn more than 2 million views on YouTube, won her praise from gun rights advocates across the country and even scored her an interview on national television last week. But the 15-year-old from Baltimore said she cares more about her message. “The biggest part of this is that the pro-gun, Second Amendment argument is getting publicity,” she said. “I like that it actually got out there, and not just because it’s me, but because it’s the argument.”

A growing number of senators are trying to quash gun legislation before it even hits the chamber floor as Democrats hold out hope for a compromise and the White House gears up for a weeklong offensive to pressure Congress to act. Larry Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America, said as many as 13 senators now publicly support a filibuster on the motion to proceed on pending gun legislation, which effectively would block debate on the bill. “When you’re in a snake pit, you kill a snake any time and chance that you get,”

The Obama administration took to the airwaves Sunday morning to call on Republicans to back the president’s plan for gun control. In interviews on “Fox News Sunday” and ABC’s “This Week,”Dan Pfeiffer, a senior White House adviser, pointed out that 90 percent of Americans support President Obama’s plan to expand background checks on citizens who purchase guns, and he pressured Republicans to get on board with what he said where “common-sense measures.” “You can’t get 90 percent of Americans to agree on the weather,” Mr. Pfeiffer said on “Fox News Sunday.” Mr. Pfeiffer warned that a potential Republican filibuster

President Obama won rare foreign policy praise from Republicans for his administration’s handling of the North Korea crisis, as China signaled a possible readiness to play a more active role in pressuring Pyongyang away from provoking a military conflict. Two influential Republicans commended the White House on separate news talk shows Sunday for striking an effective balance by allowing senior Cabinet members to issue cautionary remarks in response to North Korea, while also strategically adjusting the U.S. military posture in the region. “This administration’s acted responsibly,” said Sen.

The world’s greatest deliberative body has started to look a lot like its legislative little brother over the past few years. The Senate was once regarded as the home of the great political orators of the time — not to mention the body where true dealmaking actually took place. Its members prided themselves on their cool approach to legislating, in contrast with the more brawling nature of the House. Senators, generally, liked one another — no matter their party — and weren’t afraid to show it, either personally or politically. No longer. The Senate has undergone a marked transformation

Prospects for a bipartisan deal to expand federal background checks for gun purchases are improving with the emergence of fresh Republican support, according to top Senate aides. The possibility that after weeks of stalled negotiations senators might be on the cusp of a breakthrough comes as President Obama and his top surrogates will begin on Monday their most aggressive push yet to rally Americans around his gun-control agenda. Even though polls show that a universal background-check system is supported by nine in 10 Americans, the president has been unable to translate popular support

On the matter of the president and Kamala Harris, I could go either way. I could write a column — call it Classic Feminist High Dudgeon — lamenting the president’s comments about the California attorney general’s good looks. This column would discuss the continuing, albeit more subtle, discrimination against women in the workplace. It would explain how, even if unintentionally, Obama’s reference to Harris’s attractiveness is demeaning — that it serves, in the apologetic words of White House press secretary Jay Carney, “to diminish the attorney general’s professional accomplishments and her capabilities.” It would, inevitably, invoke the president’s daughters

He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth.

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
