OBAMA DECLARES WAR-ON THE CATHOLIC CHURCH (and its people)

So the Obama Administration thinks they can circumvent--no, eliminate--the First Amendment rights of millions of American Catholics by imposing a mandatory requirement for Catholic institutions to provide abortion coverage to the employees of those institutions.  This action absolutely violates a central tenet held by the Roman church--its absolute opposition to abortion.

Once again, the utopian tyranny strikes, this time at religion, and they obviously took on the Roman Catholics in order to show just what they are capable of doing.  If the Roman church caves--I do not believe it will--or if the government succeeds in imposing this then the rest of those who believe in God will seemingly have no recourse in dealing with the outrageous draconian measures imposed by the government.  

To their credit, American Catholic bishops wrote letters to their member churches, letters to be read yesterday morning during services, in which they informed the members of the ridiculous requirements the statist Obama has imposed.  One of the letters can be read here.  

Not only that, the the United States Army prohibited their Roman Catholic chaplins from reading the letter from the bishop yesterday morning.

Whatever happened to our First Amendment right to free speech?  Oh, I know, Obama decided to unilaterally REVOKE it!

This is pathetic.  We MUST elect a true conservative if we expect to pass down the America we grew up knowing to our progeny.

Taxation with Representation: When Those Who Govern Do Not Pay Their "Fair Share"

So in his State of the Union address a couple of nights ago, the President talked extensively about "fairness" and people "paying their fair share".   Well, Mr. President, how about all those people currently working for you who have not paid their own taxes?


Today, we read:  "36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes".  REALLY?  And that's not the half of it.  Employees in the US Senate, in the House of Representatives, Homeland Security, Department of Education--these Federal employees owe major back taxes.  Problem is, no one is doing anything about it.


Not surprisingly, the Treasury Department have tax scofflaws too...of course, who can blame them?  The Treasury Secretary himself owed $42,000 in back taxes at the time of his nomination to the position. 


In the end, then, we have the opposite situation as did those fine folks who revolted against England in the 18th century.  Instead of "no taxation without representation", our cry today must be "taxation with representation, but only for certain people".
