The intensity of the rift between the Catholic Church and the Obama administration of the recent DHHS rules on reproductive services is likely to get even more intense over time.  I think the administration will blink, however, and there will be some half-measure compromise offered that will help keep the Catholics firmly in the Obama camp.  Frankly, I cannot understand how any person of faith--Protestant, Catholic, Jew, Muslim or anything else for tha matter--would believe anything his president says.  He is amoral, thus his behavior indicates that he has no moral center and no moral compass.  He is, in a word, faithless.  Because he is faithless, he is Godless.  He does not believe in God, for if he did, he would behave differently.  Again, his actions say a lot more than do his words.

Obama is simply the latest crusader against faith in this country.  His Black Liberation Theology, his socialist upbringing, his socialist ideology and his incredibly corrupt ideology have so influenced his thinking and judgment that he is incapable of seeing that what he is doing might be offensive.  The worst sin, however, is this brutal, sustained, deliberate and pernicious assault on the Constitution.  A person can do a lot of things in this country and get away with things, but taking after the First Amendment is not likely to bear the fruit one might think.  Try assaulting free speech and see what happens.  The left is usually leading the way in this area, except when that speech is directed at progressives.  Of course, the freedom religion will be honored as long as people of faith keep quiet and work with the State to help control citizens.  The State interference in the actions, doctrines and teachings of any church are an affront to all who are citizens of this nation.

I have often written about the four pillars of American strength.  First, by way of review, is the individual and his or her free will.  Second is the dominance and beauty of the nuclear family.  Third is the primacy of faith.  Fourth is the need to for strong communities.  This assault on the Constitutional protections of religious freedom is a full four front assault.  The individual who adheres to a particular faith is being told that those beliefs are of no matter in Obama's State.  The family is not being regarded as the choice for using contraception is a choice--not a right dictated by government.  Further, that the government would require that these services be subsidized by everyone else is an insult of the highest order.  The orders from DHHS force church enterprises to violate the foundational doctrines of those religious sects.  This is oppression of religious beliefs and nothing could be further from the foundation of this nation.  People came here from all over the world to avoid governments like this one.  Where do they go from here?  Finally, these policies will rend communities and force more and more people to adhere to government coercion or face the full weight of the national government on them. 

The President and his Secretary of Health and Human Services should apologize to the American people and, to show good faith, should step aside.  No one has been more destructive of the protections offered in our Constitution than this president.  He cannot uphold his oath of office and should, therefore, leave office so that someone who can support and defend the Constitution will do so.  If the president cannot do it, then he should say so and then move on.

This November, the American people will have a chance to rid themselves of this Godless, feckless individual who is the least qualified person in any room into which he might go.  His attempts to transform America into something akin to Greece or Germany are not welcome and should be examined in the harsh light of day.  This president is a progressive nightmare that must be sent back to Chicago next January.  Of course, our unemployment numbers won't be a lot better, so maybe he will finally see what the rest of the nation has had to suffer under his administration.

At no time in our history have we had to endure anything like this.  After the elections in November, we will not likely ever see anything like this again.  Do your part by doing one more thing.
