For the past year, the Obama administration has....<br /><br />For the past year, the Obama administration has been threatening Catholics and other religious groups with a cut off of funds because of various liberal issues.<br /><br />In D.C. he told the Catholic Charities they couldn't discriminate in hiring against gays. Joining with Evangelical groups and certain black churches, the D.C. diocese told the Feds to keep their money. It resulted in numerous adoption centers and other charities being dropped.<br /><br />Recently, ruling on a discrimination suit, SCOTUS ruled in favor of the Church stating that religious organizations have a broad autonomy that is written into the constitution.<br /><br />Despite this,<br /><br /><i>In politics, timing is often the message. On Jan. 20 — three days before the annual March for Life — the Obama administration announced its final decision that Catholic universities, hospitals and charities will be compelled to pay for health insurance that covers sterilization, contraceptives and abortifacients. Obama chose to substantially burden a religious belief, by the most intrusive means, for a less-than-compelling state purpose — a marginal increase in access to contraceptives that are easily available elsewhere. <br /><br />The religious exemption granted by Obamacare is narrower than anywhere else in federal law — essentially covering the delivery of homilies and the distribution of sacraments. Serving the poor and healing the sick are regarded as secular pursuits — a determination that would have surprised Christianity’s founder.<br /><br />The implications of Obama’s power grab go further than contraception and will provoke opposition beyond Catholicism. Christian colleges and universities of various denominations will resist providing insurance coverage for abortifacients. And the astounding ambition of this federal precedent will soon be apparent to every religious institution. Obama is claiming the executive authority to determine which missions of believers are religious and which are not — and then to aggressively regulate institutions the government declares to be secular. It is a view of religious liberty so narrow and privatized that it barely covers the space between a believer’s ears...</i><br /><br /><br />Given the timing of the ruling, Obama must be feeling pretty feisty about his chances in the election. Catholics represent somewhere around a quarter of voters. Even if the majority of Catholics aren't incensed by the ruling, there are plenty of black and fundamentalist churches that likely will be. Add to that the fact that the precedent pretty much opens the door for further intrusion into all religions activities, and one can see where he has likely ticked off a good number of people.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/obamas-radical-power-grab-on-health-care/2012/01/30/gIQANB7XdQ_story.html?hpid=z3" rel="nofollow">I Smell a Lawsuit</a><br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-45405864213134871732012-01-31T02:22:40.022-05:002012-01-31T02:22:40.022-05:00Quirk said...

Barak, the Israeli defense minister, is the most decorated soldier in the country’s history and one of its most experienced and controversial politicians. He has served as chief of the general staff for the Israel Defense Forces, interior minister, foreign minister and prime minister. <b>He now faces, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 12 other members of Israel’s inner security cabinet, the most important decision of his life — whether to launch a pre-emptive attack against Iran.</b> We met in the late afternoon, and our conversation — the first of several over the next week — lasted for two and a half hours, long past nightfall. ‘This is not about some abstract concept,’ Barak said as he gazed out at the lights of Tel Aviv, ‘but a genuine concern. The Iranians are, after all, a nation whose leaders have set themselves a strategic goal of wiping Israel off the map.’….</i><br /><br /><br />I don't think Netanyehu can take Israel to a war without a vote of about 14 others. <br /><br /><a href="http://flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-58829581983808445092012-01-31T00:18:14.296-05:002012-01-31T00:18:14.296-05:00Do you remember what it was, Ruf?Do you remember what it was, Ruf?Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-9785795985968777862012-01-31T00:17:27.111-05:002012-01-31T00:17:27.111-05:00Indeed, I haven't heard such a sensible propos...Indeed, I haven't heard such a sensible proposal, though I've already forgotten what it was, since I've been here.<br /><br />Quirk has a good memory, perhaps he will remember.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-80940940619341259542012-01-30T23:51:41.658-05:002012-01-30T23:51:41.658-05:00Finally, a sensible theory at the EB.Finally, a sensible theory at the EB.Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-13605795710204837052012-01-30T23:35:02.535-05:002012-01-30T23:35:02.535-05:00Weeelllll, taken aall in all, not a bad theory and...Weeelllll, taken aall in all, not a bad theory and since you advanced it, you are duty bound to stick to it, until someone proves you wrong.

...<i>Not I, nor any other Jew has advocated genocide.</i><br /><br />The Kaaba is in a large square in downtown Mecca, which is a major world city containing millions of people, each of whom were created in the image of God. The black rock is surrounded by markets and densely populated insulas inhabited by innocent women and children who have no personal culpability for 9-11 or the rocket attacks on the Israeli farm communities near the Gaza Strip. Modern nuclear warheads, even those with adjustable yields, exceed the destructive power of Little Boy (suitcase nukes are a myth).
