  • Sadly many people will support Obama on this issue because they live in a post-Christian America and they're getting more free stuff from the government.

    This will be a test of the remaining political power of the Catholic Church and other conservative denominations, if they lose we're all in real trouble. Churches, synagogues and mosques are among the few institutions that still intervene between the individual and the unlimited power of the State.

  • There will come a time when even these TV ass clowns will find some horribly repugnant infringement of their rights happening to them right in front of their faces and unfortunately, when that time comes, it will probably be too late even for them...poor little useful ass hats!

  • I don't buy it. He's just teeing it up for Barry to look better when he recalls this POS mandate in order to salvage the Hispanic vote. Chrissy is just falling on the sword and taking one for the team. He still loves his savior and creams his shorts every time the manboy opens his mouth.

  • Yo, what happened? The doc amped his prescription? He is making sense.

    This is not about the Church wanting to override the government or whatever, but it is about protecting freedoms. Once the government OVERREACHES in one thing it will continue to overreach on everything else and soon NO ONE has rights.

  • Once again, Chris and all of his buddies are finding out just what they bought back in 08. Not a single one of them bothered to check to see what barry really was about and what he really believed in (communism). So now, we have a communist in the White House who is hell bent on creating a communist USA.

    • Silly, false on its face, just plain stupid talk! You could never debate this swill in public without being blown out the side door! Grow up! Stop lying! Things stated with
      no evidence are easily ignored with no evidence! Termites are blind! Go back under your rock!

  • History tells us in order for tyranny to take hold, religion must be replaced by the State. It is shocking Tingles wasn't aware of this well known historical fact since Liberal's are so much smarter than us knuckle dragging, bible thumping, gun toting morons. But alas, being on the Left means never having to say you're sorry because they always mean well.

    • What History is that?
      Real History equates tyranny and poverty directly to Churches achieving power. Iran used to be the Math, Science and Enlightenment Center of the World, until Religion washed it back to the stone age!
      Europe had 500 years of Inquisitions when Church authority was unquestioned!!
      Religion has no track record of good government, None!

      • Nick, you're a weapons grade moron, with apparently a third-grade education delivered with ham-handed efficiency by people that want to wind you up and aim you at anything decent.

        If Iran was the "Math, Science and Enlightenment Center of the World", where did they pick it up from? How long did they have it? Why did they surrender it, or are you laboring under the assumption that it is still the "Math, Science and Enlightenment Center of the World", all the way down to the last goat.

        Did your indoctrination class forget to tell you that, or is your brain so dead that you can't ask questions?

        WTF is the "Real History" stuff you babble about? Did you get it from a "Real Book"? Somehow, I doubt it.

      • nick wolf:"Real History equates tyranny and poverty to Churches achieving power."

        What nonsense! Christian civilization had been taking care of the poor for centuries while you lefties were still dancing around in your love beads in the 60s. Christian compassion still does incredible good in the world. It was the Church that set up the first Universities. It was the Church who set up the first hospitals. It was the Church who was the first patron of science. You seem like a typical product of modern education who doesn't know much history beyond spouting bumper sticker slogans about how faith and religion are responsible for all the evil in the world. Why don't you go into China, Cuba, and the Eastern bloc countries and tell them how religion is responsible for tyranny?

        • Seriously. The words hotel, hospice and hostelry all came from Catholic institutions proividing care to the ones no one else cared about. The destitute, the ill, the young and the old. Don't always agree with the Roman Church's politics, but they have provided a great deal of care over the centuries.

    • Every SINGLE despot has done it. From the ancient Egyptians stating the Pharaoh was a god, through the Caesars, through 20th century tyrants until now. Islam is the perfect example of a state theocracy where in all reality the theo in theocracy is not really governing but the people in the state supposedly speaking for the deity. It is the oldest thing in the book and people just never learn. When they come for your personal faiths and belief systems in order to corraled them into the government ranch, that is the time you need to shout that tyranny is afoot and do something about it.
