Christians everywhere need to overturn Obama’s administration

To the Editor:

So. Catholic Bishops have discovered the Trojan horse in Obamacare: Abortion. And its enforcement through Catholic employers. In violation of our Faith.  Why so surprised? The Obamacare embraced by much of the Catholic hierarchy is riddled with the absolute power of the State over medical "services" from conception to death, natural or otherwise.

Consider the people involved: Barack Obama killed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in Illinois, which would have provided care to live babies who survive attempted abortions. Secretary HHS Kathleen Sebelius, supporter of abortion on demand, raised money for George Tiller, notorious partial-birth abortionist through all nine months. With no accountability to Congress or the American people, Obamacare grants dictatorial control to Sebelius over every aspect of medical delivery, where abortion drugs are now deemed "basic preventive care," and where surgical abortions will certainly follow.

The Catholic left upholds "social justice," to include government-supplied "universal health care."  But the moral imperatives of Christianity cannot be reconciled with "social justice justice," which is collectivist, materialistic and totalitarian in nature, requiring coercion by a centralized absolute power.

To this end, Catholic organizations have been infiltrated by godless elements: atheist George Soros and Saul Alinsky, Marxist community shakedown artist.  Alinsky's book "Rules for Radicals," dedicated to Lucifer, is the model on which Obama has based his entire career.

Opposition to Obamacare in the Catholic hierarchy was feeble at best, whether due to negligence or the delusion that the poor might be better served, it matters not. But the Church enabled it and now reaps the consequences: a frontal assault on the First Amendment right to our free exercise of religion. To wit:

Catholic Chaplains have been ordered not to communicate the Church's position to Catholic soldiers.

Exemptions for conscience? Sorry. Obamacare exemptions are reserved for Obama's union allies and crony capitalist supporters.

The immense benefits provided by Catholic hospitals, schools and charities to ALL people are now hostage to Obama's war on religious liberty. Our aid to victims of human trafficking is scheduled to lose government support because of the Catholic pro-life position.

Catholic Bishops now know Obama to be the liar he has always been, assuring respect for Catholic principles in November, and then trashing them in January. If Obama's thuggery shatters the last delusion of American Catholics, most of whom supported him in 2008, it will have been worth it. 

Christians everywhere must unite to overturn this Administration come November.

Too bad our federal law trumps this silly nonsense you and your ilk are crying about.

 

Move to a theocratic society if you don't like it.

I love when right-wingers play the religious liberty card, as though they don't try to infringe on religious liberty at every turn.

As for the US Catholic Bishops... If they hadn't spent the last 50 years covering up rampant child abuse among their subordinates, then perhaps I'd give a hoot what they have to say.
