This is the same mandate that the president has bragged about, that his HHS secretary has referred to as a tool of “war” for suppressing the backward views of those who have moral qualms about abortion and contraception and sterilization.
This is not something this president should be allowed to get away with. Fertility is not a disease, as the “preventative” scenario and the regulation, under “preventative services” in the president’s health-care monstrosity, insists. And as was made even clearer when the Protestant Tyndale Bible publisher had to file suit in court over the HHS mandate last week, this is not just a “Catholic problem,” or a situation of bishops wanting to impose their views on America, but a simple matter of religious freedom: protecting our rights to live our faith outside of the walls of a house of worship — a fundamental right, and a good.
Fortunately, there is bipartisan support in this country for freedom of religion, one of the most basic American rights and one on which this country was founded.
My guess is that Obama feels he can get away with restricting religious freedom because of polls like this one.
The indifference that Obama displays toward Christian religious values, however, does not seem to apply in the case of Islam. This Administration couldn'tseem to restrain itself from blaming and demonizing anyone who dares question the religion of Islam, a religion America has come to know as loving, compassionate, and tolerant:
(In place of "Afghanistan" in the above, just substitute "Islamic" and you will be still be accurate).
So, on the one hand, we have an all out "'war' for suppressing the backward views of those who have moral qualms about abortion and contraception and sterilization"
; but remarkable silence and certainly no moral qualms on the part of the administration at all for blaming a you tube video and its maker for the murderous intolerance of Islam, whose views apparently are not "backward" at all in the opinion of key Administration official.
Don't you think this is extremely strange behavior, even for Obama? On the one hand to politically persecute Christians who possess moral qualms about killing innocent life; on the other to give a free pass to religious fanatics who have shown repeatedly their contempt for the value human life and have no moral qualms at all about extinguishing it.

We have thrown away any benefit we might have had from our conquests of Iraq and Afghanistan. We threw in with our enemies in Libya, Egypt, and the PA. We borrow 40 cents of every dollar we spend. Our society is being hollowed out. So let's focus on ... women's pussies!
Dr Sanity,
Welcome back.
You ask:
"Don't you think this is extremely strange behavior, even for Obama? On the one hand to politically persecute Christians who possess moral qualms about killing innocent life; on the other to give a free pass to religious fanatics who have shown repeatedly their contempt for the value human life . . . ?"
No I don't. First because as an Islamophile he gives Islam a break. Second, he is a toady and a coward. He's like the school yard bully's sidekick; he fears the bully and serves him to save his own skin.
Grima Wormtongue, thy name is Obama.
Just to put it in perspective, Obama's war on Christianity is the extension of a war that has been prosecuted by the left since the French Revolution. Islam is a pragmatic ally of the left in that war.
FWIW, a bit of perspective on that war, the 1st Am, the role of religion at the founding of our nation and Margaret Sanger - http://wolfhowling.blogspot.com/2012/02/historical-perspective-on-religion.html
A wholly ILlogical, ILliberal and yet consistent -- in a weird, alternate-universe sort of way -- mindset.
They posses a Mobius-strip mentality/morality: To them there is no "other side" or "other viewpoint" regarding anything, just their own righteous and unimpeachable one which has been twisted into a one-sided Mobius strip of circular reasoning and echo-chamber affirmation -- denizens of a two-dimensional-plane universe, incapable of comprehending a third spatial dimension.
Sadly predictable and even sadder still is its ultimate suicidal endgame.
Interesting post in light of a recent story by Pam Geller. Obama has been wearing a wedding ring on his ring finger since he was a teenager; that is even before he was married. On that ring is the inscription: "There is no God except Allah." If that story by Pam is accurate, what would you suspect?
"Don't you think this is extremely strange behavior, even for Obama?"
For Obama? Nope, not at all. This guy hates western civilization and white people. So, nope not strange behaviour at all for Obama.
I think the problem is that individual people don't exist in Obama's thinking. They are simply expendable pawns who either aid or resist his will.
As pawns, the value of individuals to Obama is in their sacrifice and not in their lives, creativity, and productivity. It is his way or a metaphorical "off with their heads".
Could not this be part the "flexibility" he was talking about with the Russian Ambassador? That the "off with their heads" need no longer be metaphorical but actual and at his whim?
Over the top? No, I don't think so. The end goal of all despots and tyrants is the unaccountable power of life and death over all others. Our next line of defense is the next election. After that, is a blood bath.
