We the Government of the United States, in order to form a more secular Union, establish our will, insure domestic income, provide the commoners with contraceptives, promote Planned Parenthood, and secure the Blessings of the media elite to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this new and improved Constitution for the United States of America.
We live in dangerous and odd times where we now have a right to free contraception but not a right of religious expression. This administration is seeking to destroy religious liberty and we have Catholic bishops vowing civil disobedience. Odd times.
Even President Obama may be in a bit of a panic about the effect of Catholic outrage on his election chances. Some reports say that he didn’t expect the Catholic bishops to speak out so strongly in near unaninimity against the contraceptive mandate. And he certainly didn’t expect the Catholic left to join in the outrage which many have to their credit.
In this election year, Obama may be looking for a way out.

The last part of the "Preamble" above should read "do ordain and establish this new and improved Constitution for the United SOCIALIST States of America." The good ol' (new?) USSA. Let's face it, folks. The great nation that our parents and grandparents knew is just about dead. The American Dream is already dead. [/rant]

We must try to stop sinners from bearing more sin into this world. They have not found our Faith yet, so continue engaging in lustful activities rather than promoting love and God's laws. I am tired of supporting these sinners with taxes that go toward curing the ills their lust causes, and paying to imprison the sinful, disease-ridden, drug-addicted adults their children become.
Therefore, I would rather pay for these sinners not to have children now as opposed to paying to support them and the sinful children they bear later. We must stand together and encourage Obama to stop these ungodly sinners who cannot control their loins from creating more sinners.

"…and secure the Blessings of the media elite to … our Posterity…," you say. Why, they want to annihilate our Posterity as the government of the Peoples Republic of China does to their posterity, especially their female posterity.

ANY acknowledgment of Obamacare as legitimate law is complicity in abortion, atheism and the most heinous tyranny, the end of freedom, the destruction of the human being, existing at the will of God, as an immortal soul, who will be plunging himself into the darkest realm of hell. CONGRESS MAKES LAW, NOT OBAMA. Congress makes law, according to the will of the people. Obama has co-opted our legislative branch of government. What is government, but the expression of the will of a free people?

Perhaps, the end of Catholic tax exemptions time has come. The Church could claim the entire country is Catholic and then get rid of all contraception.
I believe this is all because they have lost the Same Sex Marriage debate and are just striking out like angry children. Tired of being called homophobic bigots so they claim being victims. Classic.

America is not dead. Thank God we still have elections, and thank God it doesn't take that much money in the era of cable news to ensure people are repeatedly reminded of broken promises. I sure hope we get to unconsitutional in the courts quickly on this. Thank you EWTN! It will be awesome to have that fact–courts ruled this was in violation of the 1st amendment. The other huge fact that should offend anyone with 3rd grade math skills is what this spending is doing to the future of our country. Unless there is massive fraud, or Ron Paul runs as 3rd party candidate we should be able to kick this admin out of office in January 2013. I like Santorum the best but could vote for Romney or Gingrich without too many stomach problems.

All thirteen states ratified The Declaration of Independence. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, (“We cannot afford these people. They have to be aborted” Pelosi Jan 2009,) that they are endowed by their Creator with (free will and freedom of the human soul) certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (Informed consent of the governed: ”Pass it so we can find out what is in it” Pelosi on Obamacare).
Congress makes laws not Obamacare. Any laws that change our founding principles must be ratified by two-thirds of the states before any implementation of the law. Two-thirds of the states have already repudiated Obamacare. “The quality of thinking” –Pelosi- is inscribed in our founding principles. The laws of nature and nature’s God are inscribed in every man’s heart and soul.

@Anonymous 8:57 AM The Bishop of Rome, Pope Benedict XVI, and all bishops, successors of the Apostles fulfill their vocation by saying the Mass. The bishops and the priests who consecrate the Sacred Species put all people into the Sacred Heart of Jesus, our Good Shepherd. The church funds to be used to pay for Obamacare come from the tithes, gifts, donations, and bequests of the faithful, the citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes. Any penalties levied against the church for not adhering to Obamacare are the tithes, gifts, donations, and bequests of the people who have already paid their taxes. The parishioners, who, as citizens have paid their fair share of taxes are going to be penalized for what the church does. The Catholic Church is incorporated as a non-profit, no profits to tax and penalize. How tyrannical can Obamacare get? The boot of Obamacare is on the neck of each person and every citizen, crushing our vocal cords, beheading our free will from our bodies. Jesus Christ descended into hell and set the captives free. As a captive, I am set free. As an innocent man, Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Obama descended into hell, and with Obama all of his constituents. Obama cannot get out of hell until Obama unburdens himself of the guilt of the immortal souls of 54 million aborted posterity.

@Anonymous 8:57AM Homosexual behavior is assault and battery, a crime. Persons cannot consent to a crime. The homosexual practitioner denies the immortal soul of his partner. The Sacrament of Marriage is a covenant of immortal souls. Denying the immortal soul, the homosexual practitioner denies the premise of his case for gay-marriage. Should the homosexual practitioner admit to his partner’s immoral soul, set aside his practice of lust, and begin to care for another person, it is called friendship. Friendship is a gift from God.

@ Mary De Voe as this may have been posted before it is of utmost importance:The latest assault on freedom is the questioning of the freedom of religion and whether the founding fathers, who are vilified and dismissed as crazy old dead men got it wrong. Both The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution for the United States of America were ratified by two-thirds of the states, as required by our founding principles.(All thirteen states signed onto the Declaration of Independence. If the founding fathers got it wrong as is posited by Melinda Henneberger of the Washington Post, the change, any change in The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution must be ratified by two-thirds of the states. What person with rational immortal soul would challenge our Creator endowed unalienable rights and our being created equal?

ad infinitum: Obamacare does not have authentic power to redefine CHARITY
February 10, 2012 at 5:05 pm
The Affordable Health Care Act (that we couldn't see until it was passed) requires Catholics to violate their faith in support of contraception/abortion. It is unacceptable to offer waivers for an unconstitutional law…implying that the government can give permission for anyone to follow their faith. Our freedom of religion is from GOD, this was acknowledged by the founders in the first amendment. This law must be revoked!

Oh yes I also want a way out for the man in the white house–a retirement to play golf and travel and so forth in a place far far far from Washington.

The Old Testament was written specifically to confuse non-Jews so that non-Jews could not understand Judaism. Christians then wrote the New Testament, founded on the Old Testament, which could not be understood by non-Jews.
To understand the truth, see http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=%22Mishnah+Eduyot+1:3%22&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmishnahyomit.org%2Feduyoth%2FEduyoth.doc&ei=p4U3T5DPJcm60QGC8-i9Ag&usg=AFQjCNGE9_EaQlCPPloiNdiS8cGpIJWCew
Eduyot 1:4 – 1:6 It explains that current laws may be changed in the future, and laws from the past may be changed now. "To teach the following generations that a man should not [always] persist in his opinion, for behold, the fathers of the world did not persist in their opinion." ~ Eduyot 1:4 You will find, through reading the Mishnah (traditions of Judaism which you will not find in the confounding Old Testament) that the foundation of your religion is based upon critical thinking, rather than looking for a book to legislate right/wrong for you. We are smarter than needing a book to spell it out, and life is too situational for that anyway.

Question… do the health insurance companies which our Catholic organizations purchase also cover non-Catholic organizations?
Furthermore, do Catholic organizations hire non-Catholics?
If Catholic organizations purchase health insurance from companies who only cover Catholic organizations and the Catholic organizations only hire Catholics, then sure, it is wrong to try to force Catholic organizations to cover health care costs of Non-Catholics. However, America is a "melting pot", where differences are at least tolerated. Many people moved here because of religious persecution, in which they were treated unfairly. So if you want to live in a place that only supports your way and does not provide the same health care rights to all because it is an unfair place, create an all-Catholic country and leave non-Catholics alone.
