Good Day,

If one has been paying attention to what has been going on the past few days, they will understand the enormity of this situation and that indeed religion, liberty, freedom and the Constitution itself are under attack from this administration and its cronies. Tell me... Why then, if one claims to love their country so much, would one state and then take action toward "fundementally changing" this society that has done so much, come so far and helped so many? Only one who has disdain and hate toward the success of this nation would do such a thing.

So I ask... where are those folks who scream bloody murder about a Christmas tree, manger scene or Menorah being erected for the holidays, say in front of city hall, but are silent when it comes to government coming into direct opposition of the free practice of religious belief by forcing individuals to participate in a government run program and or provide a service against their will? The silence is defeaning.

What of these so called vaunted Utopias and their policies this administration wishes to force on the American people? The old Russian contitution called for free schooling, free healthcare and so forth. To what benefit? Long lines for food, if there was any left to be had. People disappearing into forced labor camps and gulags. Millions simply disappeared into the ether never to be heard from again. Except for the ruling class, the only equality was in suffrering and pain. Cuba ... same thing. North Korea... same thing. And so on.

And now we have a liberal Supreme Court Justice in Bader-Ginsburg who is bashing the Constitution she is not only supposed to defend, but rely upon for legal descisions. And it isn't just her either, need I remind you of what Obama has said of the Constitution being fundementally flawed? Or his statements of redistribution of wealth and a pile of quotes that most certainly illustrate his Socialist tendancies. That is not what our country was founded upon. It is not what made it great. It is not what made it perhaps the greatest nation on Earth that people are still willing to risk life and blood to become a part of in order to persue the American dream.

Just wondering when he uttered the phrase "we are about five days away from fundamentally transforming this country" and people cheered, what was he thinking, my thought is he could not believe they bought it. I imagine in private he was jumping up and down and high fivin his handlers singing woop te do skidly wink, we did it we got em in our back pocket. fools. Wonder what the slogan will be this year that makes the sycophants drool, and the selected few who get to stand behind him on the stage with there weird smiles and forced cheers who fall on his every word.

Of course I see the same faces at Mitt rallies to.

God save us from these people.

You would be hard pressed not to find almost any religion that feels they are somehow being suppressed or forced to do something against their beliefs.
So what??
Get over it or move to some country where your religion is the preferred religion so you can have your way.

So why aren't you whinning about the patriot act? Because you're a low wage low IQ right to work retard. Offering something and forcing them is 2 different things. The employees will not be forced into taking birth control. All this fuss from the religon that killed Jesus and molests young boys. Lets see repukes want it mandatory that school children recite the pledge of allegiance. I refuse to pledge to a republic when this country is a democracy. The pledge was written in 1890 and none of the founding fathers had anything to do with that nazi pledge. I Change the words to "and to the democracy in which it stands" and I can under the 1st amendment. Now remember china is a republic, north korea is a republic, russia was a republic, and republicans dont know the difference between a republic and a democracy. Well here's the difference republics die while democracy lives. To sum it up for you the people rule in a democracy and in a republic wallstreet rules and fails. Remember that you big crybaby.

Yes, Timothy McVeigh was a "christian". So are the Westborough Baptists. So was Jim Jones and Harold Camping. Let's not forget those rcc priest rapist bastards.
Lovely bunch you include in your "christian" lists.
Oh wait...they aren't really "christians"...accor ding to...someone.

Your point is totally moot and you know it.
Maybe it's time for you to move also.

Funny how the atheist lefties scream about 'separation of church and state' until the state tramples the constitutional rights of religious groups and the left approves.
Then it's just fine for that 'seperation' to be dissolved.

So why aren't you screaming for the rights of other "christian" groups, or, other religious groups for that matter??
Maybe we should reconsider polygamy...after all it's a christian religion that's been told by our government they can't practice that part of their religion.
Or maybe some Muslim rights should be reconsidered??

You can't even define what a "christian" is boo boo...
Haha

Can you articulate what beliefs the government is forcing these groups to violate by legal mandate?
Nice to see that you just don't really give a damn about the separation of church and state after all....so I guess when the Church gets into the government's business, you'll have no problem with that, either. This road goes both directions, you know; either the separation is there or it isn't.
