Melinda Henneberger in her article in The Washington Post makes a convincing argument that by the president’s recent actions, he has effectively declared himself a
secularist who looks down on believers. Obama’s argument that most women use birth control, including Catholic women, simply misses the point completely. If 10 people jump off a bridge, should we all jump off a bridge? Obama offers up as his reasoning a total capitulation to expediency! If it works, regardless of the consequences, let’s go for it! What rubbish! It’s time we had a leader with some semblance of moral fiber!

Last election, Catholics favored Obama 54% over John McCain’s 45%. This is by no means a gimme for the next election. Catholic Bishops all over the land are denouncing Obama’s original stance and his obvious and devious exercise to skirt the issue with his “compromise”. Most church leaders have also denounced this ploy as well.

Charles Kadlec in his Forbes article simply belies the audacity of our president by his recent actions on the HHR bill in question. As Kadlec alleges, Obama is on the brink of successfully rendering the first clause of the first amendment moot. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”. It is Kadlec’s contention that Obama is heralding the concept that it is the government, not our creator, that gives people the right of religious freedom. This outlook simply trounces the nation’s founding principles as stated in the Declaration of Independence. The most moving and convincing statement in Kadlec’s article is his confession that he is NOT a Catholic. However, his belief in our country’s core values including religious protection, underlines his fervent hope that in this instance, the Catholic Church will champion the more general principal held sacrosanct that our founding fathers got it right concerning our unalienable right to religious freedom.

GOD BLESS AMERICA not Obama Bless America!
