But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever.
John Adams 1775
Under the guise of “fairness,” “compassion,” and because “it’s for the children” liberals have been all about stealing our liberties one by one for the last 40 years. By doing so they have changed a country founded upon individual rights, freedoms and responsibilities into some kind of weak minded dope factory where a 30 year old college co-ed can demand a Catholic University pay for her birth control and abortions and be taken seriously. Seriously enough that when people call the co-ed the whacked out idiot that she is and compare her to a $2 whore on Sat. night when the fleet is town, she receives a comforting call from the P-BO.
Because Americans inherently know when something is amiss with Demo-Dopes trying to snatch their guns, cars, land, money and babies through legislation, much of the Dopes’ damage has been done under the cover of court decisions. Just because 5 dopes in robes appointed for life by career politicians say it is so, we tend think it is all right. After all, a judge is supposed to be protecting our rights and freedoms. Often what these boneheaded judges do is heap extra constitutional rights upon one group and expect the responsibility for those newly created rights be heaped onto another group. Busing, affirmative action, abortion, hate crimes, gun control, EPA regulations, et al all give rights one group while placing responsibility for the “rights” onto another group.
The P-BO has pretty much broken all of the rules. He doesn’t rely on legislation or the courts to go about destroying the constitution and liberty. He sits in the Oval Office and decrees it by diktat. 2,000 years of church teaching, freedom of religion and right to conscience in the US is no longer valid because the P-BO has so decreed. You can be a conscientious objector and avoid military service in combat zones or all together, but you cannot obtain relief from an onerous federal government because you refuse to kill unborn American citizens. In fact now, not only can you no longer object to that obscene procedure, you MUST pay for it and facilitate it.
Standing against the P-BO’s latest over reach is an organization that has for the last 40 years been complicit in all manner of Demo-Dope over reach, right up to the point that it was their own ox being gored. The P-BO’s latest over reach has awakened a sleeping giant. In a letter to his bishops Cardinal Dolan wrote:
At a recent meeting between staff of the bishops’ conference and the White House staff, our staff members asked directly whether the broader concerns of religious freedom—that is, revisiting the straight-jacketing mandates, or broadening the maligned exemption—are all off the table. They were informed that they are. So much for “working out the wrinkles.” Instead, they advised the bishops’ conference that we should listen to the “enlightened” voices of accommodation, such as the recent, hardly surprising yet terribly unfortunate editorial in America. The White House seems to think we bishops simply do not know or understand Catholic teaching and so, taking a cue from its own definition of religious freedom, now has nominated its own handpicked official Catholic teachers.
In 2008 I was dumfounded to find “Catholics for Obama” bumper stickers in the church parking lot. The P-BO is big trouble this time around. Cardinal Dolan has asked that Catholics get more politically involved. Dolan should start by cleaning his own house of liberation theology types like Fr. Phleger.
