Thanks Michael Boldin. There is a spiritual vacuum being filled by secular society in America (oxymoron) and with the Catholic Church’s sanctioned non obligatory participation for all members in all manners regarding the Church’s mandated liberties and restrictions, the Church’s body has lost the ancient power in unity; as well as limited government. And as the Magna Carta was instrumental in establishing the grounds on which parliaments could first be established with a clear understanding on the importance of limited government, we can see how the Church’s liberties were sold out in favor of socialism; the New Deal. To which power was ceded to the secular society and now the timeline has swung full circle and secular society is removing liberties that have been ages known; there was a reason Christ threw out the money changers. Now in this vacuum, against Washington’s farewell address regarding usurpation, Americans have appointed a Muslim as president who is only taking advantage of this spiritual weakness given to him by Americans to bring in the one world religion. We can see this action through the United Nations Resolution 16/18 coming down the pike at full speed and the justices have already been stacked for this planned eventuality which Sharia compliant Elena Kagan stands ready.

Obamacare violating the 1st (and several other) Amendment is a primary issue.

I don’t care what is mandated with this unconstitutional document. I will not participate! I will not pay a fine for not participating! I will go to jail first!

No, it is the First Amendment and his mindset to upset us until we want to scream

I was wondering if any other POTUS has had as many attorneys general going after him in as many states? I wish that politics had sportscasters: every time a politician does/says something, there’s a voiceover that states facts and stats. That would be nice…

But even CONSIDERING the first amendment, their logic fails Constitutionally, too. I want you to imagine your employer is a Christian Scientist. If Christian Scientist employers had the right to deny coverage for things their religion is opposed to, they would not be required to pay for SURGERY, no matter how desperately needed, because Christian Scientists don’t believe in it. Scientologists would not be required to cover mental illness, because they believe there is no such thing.

It is perfectly within any individual’s or organization’s rights to believe that birth control should not be used, but once an individual or organization’s becomes an EMPLOYER different rules apply.

Brilliant argument IMO from Greg Palast http://www.huffingtonpost.com/greg-palast/queen-of-angels-condoms_b_1263389.html?ref=politics

The point I add is this: The first amendment does not apply to employers in many other regards, like when they wish to express their opinions and beliefs in the following way: “I don’t want to hire you because you are black.” or “Non-whites need not apply” or “Man, Catholics really suck and should be confined to this closet during break times.” These are also instances where the first amendment does not apply because the person attempting to invoke first amendment rights is an employer.
