I believe he has a “mission”, he wants to destroy Capitalism, the Christian faith, and United States Constitution. When a man has a deep conviction of a mission, he will do all he can to fulfill it. And that is Obama.
I just hope the Catholics who voted him last time can see this.

I don’t believe this is Obama’s mission at all.
His decisions may have negative impact on religion and capitalism, but I don’t believe this is his goal in life.
Instead, he’s trying to get re-elected and thought, probably through the bad advice of Sebelius and Nancy Pelosi, that Catholics would be upset over the mandate decision.
Boy, was he wrong. Even Chris Matthews, an apologist for Obama, was against him on this issue.

He thinks, above all, that he’s a great man. He’s trying to prove that to everyone by handing over the country to the Democratic party even if he has to violate the Bill of Rights to do it. There are Democratic senators now protesting the mandate. That doesn’t even bother Obama. He thinks he’s a great man and that’s it as far as he is concerned.
This is why he has pictures taken of himself in FDR and Lincoln poses, and why he speaks in a fake Greek temple with columns. He thinks he’s great like Churchill and FDR and Charlemagne. If he can’t get people to think this, he may try to be “great” like Hitler, who was not great but at least he was infamous. This is what’s going on.
And, yes, Jim. He has a deep conviction–a mission as PTL says–and he feels he has to fulfill it. And part of that is re-election, since his term is just about over. He may be feeling a sense of increasing urgency because his poll numbers are bad and he thinks we don’t “appreciate” him properly.
At the moment, we and the rest of the American people are only a means to an end.

Contraception and abortion are not “health”. Contraceptives have been shown time and again to be harmful to women’s health and often lethal to babies. They are proven carcinogens and have been linked to many other actual HEALTH problems such as stroke and liver disease. Abortion is not “healthy” for anyone, women or babies – the only “benefit” from it is to the bank accounts of the killers. Look at all of the organizations that have sprung up to help women fight back against the physical, mental, and emotional harm that abortion has caused them.
If the government really cared about women’s health, it would publicize the damaging effects of contraceptives and abortion, and would warn women against them, much as they do against smoking. I am a woman, and should I choose to smoke, do you think the government would be trying to force my employer or my insurance company to give me free cigarettes? Contraceptives and abortion simply do their damage more slowly than smoking.
Pregnancy is not a disease, and it should not be treated as such.

Correct, but that’s not the main issue here. The main issue is that Obama is violating the 1st Amendment rights that we have to freedom of religion. He’s trying to interfere with our religious freedom. This is just something he wants to force us to do. There are other things he’d like to force us to do too, because he thinks we don’t have a right to believe as we wish, regardless of what the 1st Amendment says. This is the problem.

I think you have it backwards: those of us who have been opposed to Obamacare from the start, and who welcome the bishops recent conversion, were worried that Catholics would be mollified or that the bishops would accept a compromise that merely exempted them.

The reality is somewhere in between. Obama is not merely choosing those policies that will get him reelected. Nor is he a suicidal ideologue who cares not about popular opinion.
He is a competent politician with an ideological agenda. He doesn’t think he will lose Catholic Democrats on this issue.

His competence is a matter of opinion. I think that he thinks he can spin this and sell it as an abortion issue, yes. I think he doesn’t really care about abortion at all, so much as he cares about his conviction that he is a very great man. He has pictures taken of himself dressed as Lincoln and FDR. He poses under fake Greek columns. He thinks he is great like Charlemagne and Churchill, and he may be getting a bit desperate because he’s getting near the end of his term and his poll numbers are low, yes. He thinks we don’t “appreciate” him properly. So he lectures us and violates out constitutional rights. He wants very badly to be re-elected. Otherwise he thinks he will never be able to live out this mission of greatness he thinks he has.

I agree with what the article says, the evil plan now is even more evil.
It is obvious his purpose has nothing to do with contraception. Come on, you can walk into any drug store and get it right and left. Women who use contraception now are paying directly out of their pocket, whereas later, they will pay it out of their newly raised insurance premium. That is no difference money wise.
Then, why go through the law to provide contraception for EVERY woman?
Contraception is used as a political tool to 1) defeat the Church** 2)** trash the freedom of religion 3) Open the gate to destroy Constitution **4)**Make America a communist country. This is very obvious.
If we buy in his “accommodation”, it still fulfills his purpose. The current HHS issue is the door way to the landslide of destroying our freedom. We simply cannot allow it happen.

Correct. You can walk into pretty much any walk-in clinic and get all the birth control pills you can ever take. You can walk into planned parenthood and they will fix you right up if that’s what you want. For Pete’s sakes, we’ve had to fight for years to keep them from handing this stuff out in public school like gummy bears. For FREE. Getting it is no problem for those who want this stuff.
This is not about birth control or abortion. This is about religious freedom. Obama thinks that he can deliver political power to the Democrats by destroying our right to say and do what we believe on a whole host of issues. This is about religious freedom.

Keep that point in mind the next time somebody tells you that 98% of women use it. Obviously it’s not the “access” issue Obama talks about.
When he quotes the 18-34-year-old line about how they have difficulty affording it…do they or not? If 98% are using it, they’re managing to afford it or get it somewhere. (How many of those people have cell phones?)
While I disagree that the percentage is that high, if people are going to quote that at you, then ask them what the big deal is, why do we need to go against our teachings when it’s obvious that people have access.
It is clearly not an access issue, by his own words.

Exactly correct. 100%. Or, as they would say in My Cousin Vinnie… “Dead-on @*%# accurate”.
Its so right in fact, that I am totally stealing it.

You are right. It is about religious freedom. Actually, it is about freedom. Period.
I have a friend from mainland China, when I talked to her about Obama’s policy, she said,“Obama wants America to become a communist country.” I was shocked to hear that from her. I thought I was going to tell her that. But she was the one who told me that.
I am originally from “free China”(Taiwan), when I lived in my own country years ago, we are so conscious about defending ourselves against communist China. I am very sensitive about left wing actions. Obviously this friend from communist China is more familiar with communism, so she could clearly see the far left intentions in Obama administration. She said she voted for Obama last time but she is not voting for him again. I am glad to know at least one person in my State has changed her mind.

The one thing that is being missed is that neither the democrats or the republicans EVER undo what each has done. Bush (who I stupidly voted for 2 times, shame on me) also violated the constitution. The Patriot act is not about being a patriot, it is just the opposite. The Dept of Homeland Security makes US the people; the terrorists. Obama is just finishing off what LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush daddy, Clinton and Bush the boy have started. Little by little they have eroded our freedoms. They have dismantled the middle class little by little, they sent jobs over seas so that we can find only service jobs, and as you may know by now jobs are getting harder to find especially for those over 45.They take more than their fair share of our money through taxes. I know that I pay about 60% of my money to taxes, and they keep spending and squeezing us harder and harder. Laws are being passed every day that do NOT benefit us. Look up Agenda 21. The communist agenda has been in full swing for a long time now. Unless we get real people who are not tied to outside interests into office we will see more and more of our freedoms eroded. I am not a '“liberal” but a conservative but not like the phony ones who masquerade as conservatives, like Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity or Mark Levin, look up neocon and you will understand better. They have hijacked the tea party because they are AFRAID of it and they don’t want us to uprise against the current system.
Last summer I went to see Fr Apostle speak about Fatima and he said something that explains alot to me, especially the wishy washy bishops (not all the bishops but you know who they are) he said that the Catholic Church was infiltrated by Communists. A woman named Bella Dodd (look her up) personally helped to get the infiltraters into the seminaries and ordained ,(she later converted and if I recall correctly Fulton Sheen had something to do with it.) This same thing has happened to our country.
