The GOP Uses Obama To Hide The Prosecution Of Their Own Religious War
A person afflicted with superiority complex experiences an exaggerated feeling of being superior to others that portends dire consequences if the sufferer holds a position of power and influence. Over the past year, women have felt the wrath of Republicans who have become the legislative arm of the United States Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in their drive to maintain their exaggerated sense of supremacy by enforcing the Catholic ban on contraception on the entire country. The Republicans though, have went too far and are in violation of the 1st Amendment and are facilitating Catholicism’s violation of their tax-exempt status. Based on these serious violations, there is actionable evidence to strip the Catholic Church of tax-exempt status and investigate Republicans for violating their oath of office.
The controversy raised by Republicans over inclusion of contraceptives in health insurance plans was dealt a blow yesterday by President Obama who eased the requirements for Catholic run universities and hospitals. President Obama shifted the burden to cover contraception away from employers to insurance carriers in an attempt to assuage criticism from religious fanatics in the Republican ranks. The President did not have to compromise on this important health matter and he certainly did not have to acquiesce to the USCCB and Vatican’s edict that bans contraception, but that is another subject altogether.
John Boehner accused the President of violating the 1st Amendment. He said, “In imposing this requirement, the federal government is violating a First Amendment right that has stood for more than two centuries. And it is doing so in a manner that affects millions of Americans. If the president does not reverse the (Health and Human Services) Department's attack on religious freedom, then the Congress, acting on behalf of the American people and the Constitution we are sworn to uphold and defend, must.” Those are insightful remarks, but they apply to Republicans and not the President. The 1st Amendment says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Any legislation establishing Catholicism’s ban on contraception is a violation of the Constitution and it applies to Republican attempts to deny access to birth control to employees of religious-run organizations.
