One of the biggest news stories of the past week is the phantom story that VERY few news outlets have even mentioned. It has been so suppressed in fact that the mainstream media is doing all they can to make it a non-story. The Catholic Church has filed 43 lawsuits so far against the Obama administration and their attempt to force Catholic institutions to provide free female contraception. This is being done through the mandate in Obamacare that says EVERYONE must provide birth control regardless of personal beliefs. Why is this story so relevant, you might ask? Well, because it involves a number of violations of the Constitution of the United States.
The First Amendment of the United States explicitly prohibits the federal government from dictating or interfering in the religious practices of churches and ordinary citizens. (Religions advocating human sacrifice were omitted from this protection). The government was also prevented from establishing a state- sponsored (or sanctioned)- religion as England had done with the Anglican church during the reign of Henry VIII. In 1802, President Thomas Jefferson wrote to the Danbury Baptist Church of Connecticut to clarify their protection of religious freedom under the Constitution. In his clarification, Jefferson used the term “a wall of separation of church and State” to firmly assure the church that the GOVERNMENT was specifically PROHIBITED from making any law that interfered with the church’s legal and religious practices. Unfortunately, Earl Warren’s Supreme Court decided to reinterpret the First Amendment.
What Warren did was to take the prohibition of government interfering in religious matters and ruled that it was the church that could not interfere with the government. This absolute misinterpretation of the First Amendment has led to a number of bluntly unconstitutional events in this country. Prayer has been taken out of schools. Bible reading has been eliminated, and the Pledge of Allegiance (and even our motto ” in God We Trust”) have come under attack by the shrill minority attempting to eliminate God’s presence from our society. This misinterpretation of the First Amendment caused Chief Justice William Rehnquist to remark, “the metaphor of a wall of separation is bad history and worse law. It has made a positive chaos out of court rules. It should be explicitly abandoned”
Whenever Americans United for Separation of Church and State (an anti religious organization led by the “Reverend” Barry Lynn) hear of an attempt by churches to defend their CONSTITUTIONAL religious rights under law, they are usually right there agreeing with the government. Not a word has been heard from them to defend the government’s position on this one yet….wonder why? Did you know that abortion really isn’t constitutional either. The Supreme Court in 1973 that decided that abortion was a protected right for a woman based their decision not on the Constitution but on what they FELT should be law. Social activism won the day, and the result is over 50 million murdered children. But, I digress.
Sandra Fluke was the useful idiot that the Progressives used to start this jihad against organizes religion, and I have a word for her. Ms. Fluke, if you go to school somewhere that doesn’t offer or won’t offer you birth control, then you have a couple of choices. 1: Go somewhere else, or 2: if you cannot afford the contraception, then ABSTAIN from sexual activity until you can afford it! You really are not concerned about getting free contraception as much as you trying to break the status quo and put the church under feminist control. You and your Progressives friends seemed to have pulled the wrong tail of the wrong animal this time. The religious community has finally awakened to what Obama and his SOCIALIST PROGRESSIVES are really all about….absolute and total control of every aspect of every American citizen’s life.
The really good news is that if and when the Supreme Court strikes down the mandate in Obamacare, and the whole corrupt thing collapses in on itself, then the Progressives lose the religious and social engineering war in a big way. Whatever you political beliefs this year, remember one thing….if you give the government your freedom, you will NEVER get it back. Our founding fathers were wise enough to give us a foundation, a Constitution, and a country that gave EVERYONE the chance to aspire to their highest calling (except for most politicians & some billionaires who represent the “Peter Principle” and have risen to the highest level of their incompetence) and become greater than they were.
We all need to stand with the Catholics and say “NO MORE!” The government’s attempts to control us must end here and now. Obama has declared war on religion, war on the rich, war on business, war on fossil fuels, war on oil drilling, war on jobs, and on and on. Haven’t you had enough of this guy and his SOCIALIST philosophy yet? May God give us all the wisdom and discernment to make the right choice in November.

Just a fool
Do you know that if Obama finally admits that he WILL LOSE in his re-election bid, that he can retire after one term and take all the $millions raised for his re-election campaign with him? Just like Evan Bayh of Indiana did a year and a half ago. He had raised $13 million toward his re-election to the Senate campaign, decided not to run again and retired with that war-chest to keep him warm-and he still gets his ‘retirement’ pay from the Senate as well.
The American people are screwed either way.
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO IMPEACH HIM….OR WHEN HE DOES GET OUT PUT HIM IN PRISON FOR TREASON, TYRANNY, AND FORGERY !
Larry Klayman, an attorney who founded Freedom Watch and Judicial Watch, says that he is trying to get enough help from true American patriots to form a grand jury of citizens in order to inidict Obozo for the purpose of removing him from office before the Nov. 2012 elections. He says the Congress won’t do it. The courts won’t do it. But, we, the people can do it.

PLEASE DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO SUPPORT THIS Klayman EFFORT, AND DO IT A.S.A.P.!!!!

THIS ARTICLE IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE to anyone, Christian or not. This seperation of church and state was in error when Madely Murray O’Hara began the tearing apart of the churches and has continued with the Supreme Court ignoring the true mandate by the constitution. The English (my ancestors) came here for that purpose, (& others, of course) freedom of religion- since England dictated what church they must attend, etc. Now we will have to fight that same battle on our soil. WHERE IS THE SUPREME COURT’S NOTION THAT WE THE PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO LET THEM DICTATE EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIVES? If Obamacare is not overturned we need to work on disbanning the Supremes.
Since God has been kicked out of our country (while allowing allah in the back door), and since Obama has deified himself as has of Congress, it is almost fitting Catholics/Christians challenge this ‘dumping on Americans’ administration and its most heinous mandate thus far.
In 1954, Lyndon Johnson originated a bill (actually a gag order) against non-profit organizations speaking out pro or con political issues – that if they did, they will lose their tax exempt status. That it violates the 1st Amendment meant nothing to Johnson, his ‘go along’ Congress nor will it to Obama so I fully expect Obama to enforce it. A fraudulent law against organizations fighting a fraudulent law should be something to behold.
Since Obama has a mouth big enough for two sets of teeth and is always threatening to sue, I would not be surprised if he would drag out Johnson’s gag order- if he even knows about it – water seeks its own level, Johnson was a fraud, too. Nothing has become of his suits against Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio in AZ but one never knows – there are a lot of idiots out there – (well, the Democrats go without saying). What nightmare years these past 3.5 have been.
What happened to Seperation of Church and State the nutty liberals are always schreeching about? I guess it’s like all their arguments against our Constitution. Bypass or ignore it or go to a late night back room and do what mr o wants done.
I would be glad to contribute toward a one way ticket to Nairobi for Komrade Obama. What I fear is that he will get away with having the vote counted in Spain by Soros’ company in which case the real would be irrelevent.
Its just another attack on the First Amendment. We now live in a post constitutional era. Anything and everything is possible. In knowing Barry’s background of two unist fathers wemay have all hell to pay. His attack on Catholics, his attack on Jews, his attack on coal miners, his attack on our economy, his attack on business, his attack on the oil industry, his attack on power plants and oil refineries, his attack on the 2nd amendment with Fast and Furious which results in continuing murder, his appointment of an assination Czar, NDAA wipes out the remaining civil rights, is outright 100 megaton hydrogen bombs. They are going off in our country every day by his unelected Czars. He is obviously wiping his Axe with the Constitution. He does not care the all these peope will vote against him. As Stalin said, it does not matter who votes buut who counts the votes. its time to get food for a month, firearms of substantial power, and plenty of ammo. He will surely shut down the production of both manufacturers. It looks peaceful out there but its raining the fire of hell on our country.
Well said Laker. What is happening currently in the US, is exactly what in 1973 forced the Chilean Armed Forces to act against its Socialist President, who had discarde laws and Constitution and had the country´s judges acting just like they are acting now in the US It was that, or a bloody Civil War. Of course, the whole world went against Pinopchet, the General who organized the coup against the Socialist prez., who at least was a Chilean, not an illegal, like Obama.
They can file all the lawsuits the Catholics want but Barry wants them to shut down their hospitals. That will give him a health crsis to act tobring health care under government control.
The Catholic (and other) hospitals should adopt the policy of using aspirin as the ONLY contraceptive prescribed. Placing it between the knees would cut WAY down on unwed pregnancies and other ‘unwanted’ pregnancies. In these cases, there is no such thing as an ‘accident’. It’s called Premeditated Carelessness. Or, stupidity; your choice.
Maybe everybody should know who the guys responsible for the “whiteout” of Obama´s crimes and other important news are. Most of them are who I have defined as “Suicidal Jews”, who inadvertedly have been playing to the Muslim Obama´s tune, whose group has been achieving the political strengthening of the Islamist Brotherhood by means of the “Arabian Spring” initiative. Once the Berotherhood should be strong enough, they shall pursue one of their most important common projects, which is “To eliminate Israel from the face of the Earth”. Here is it:

Two of the basic tenets of imposing Communism on a nation is one, to destroy the middle class and institute uniform destitution of all but the 5% Party Elite AND the “destruction” of God in that society. Obama’s economic policy is designed to ruin the economy and impose number one and his myriad other schemes are for nothing other than replacing God and family with Big Brother Who Knows All.
After 5 years I am still dumbfounded by the number of people Left and Right who do not recognize what the real intent of the Regime is. Has the US Dep’t of Education been that successful in dumbing down America that that such basic things as Communism are a mystery? Has history been completely lost to the extent that many don’t know just what the genuine result of Communism is? And Geography, is it that difficult for Americans to understand such things as why returning Israel to indefensible borders is suicide for them?
People NEED to study the “45 Goals of Communism in America” and the “Cloward-Piven Strategy”. Those two alone will explain most of what we see happening around us now. It is not a deep under cover conspiracy – it is right before our eyes. It has been published all across the land so OPEN THOSE EYES and learn!
