President Obama, Transparency and Religion ? The Constitution Club

Just three years ago we had a fresh face in the Democratic primary.? He was promising all kinds of things especially transparency with the law making process.? He would have bills published on the internet for all to see for five day so the American citizens could know what it was.? This was his promise for all non-emergency bills.? Boy, were we American people suckered into that lie.? His most transparent bill was his health care bill.? I cannot conceive how this bill could be classified as an emergency bill.? Representative Pelosi was Speaker and she publicly stated that if Congress wanted to know what was in the bill they would have to pass it.? Now that was pure and simple President Obama?s promise of transparency in action.? No one knew what it contained.? The Democrats could easily pass it; all they had to do was have the Democrats vote it in since they were in control.? What took so long to get passed?? They had to twist the arms of some Democrats and give special dispensations to others to get enough Democratic votes.? I do not know what other folks thought about the way the health bill was passed, but it sure looked as if it was the same old, same old.? The old Congressional process was used in a way which Mr. Obama had promised not to do. ?Thus, we had another lie from his not so?innocent lips.

Fast forward and today we find the law which is to be a part of the President?s legacy has Constitutional questions that could have been solved if the bill had been read by Congress or published for the public to read before it was signed.? If I did not know better, I would say the Democrats knew that the public would not want this bill as it was passed.? They knew there would be Constitutional questions.? They knew it would be a knock down drag out fight just among the Democrats to get it passed. So the Democrats decided to sneak it pass the American public.? It is a terrible piece of legislation that can do nothing but put this country in further debt and take away Constitutional rights.? This is just another move by the Obama administration to do away with the Constitution.? Most Democrats think this document from two centuries ago is totally archaic and obsolete for the 21st Century as one Democrat expressed on the evening news this week. That statement is merely her opinion and many American citizens do not agree with her statement.? Of course, ordinary American citizens are not of the elitist leader class that she belongs to and most certainly if the elitist leaders think the Constitution is archaic and obsolete for the 21st Century then it must be so.

I would hope that the protestant churches and other religious groups will back the Catholics and continue fighting this attack by the federal government on religious freedom.? This should cause concern for all religious groups because it is the leak in the dam that will soon open into a break.? When that happens, the anti-religious movement in America will flood the United States taking what pieces of religious freedom that are left.

The current Speaker of the House has promised to stop this erosion of the freedom of religion.? Hopefully, he will not stick his finger in the leak, but he will rebuild and re-enforce the Constitutional right of religion freedom. He will probably back off since President Obama has found his solution to the problem.

President Obama has now worked out a solution which his socialist nature can live with.? It relieves the burden of losing the Catholic vote in the coming election.* It throws the burden of reproductive healthcare (Including the insidiously tacked on meaning of abortion and contraception.? Socialist are sneaky little devils.) to insurance companies.? He pulled a smart move in his attempt to get re-elected.? No one likes insurance companies. Now the question is, ?Why should the American citizens believe him??? He has said one thing to get elected and then failed in his actions to fulfill his promise to the American citizens.? Once lied to shame on the liar.? Twice lied to, shame on the American citizens for believing it.? He will honor this solution the same way he did his promise of transparency.? He is not done with his effort for the anti-religious movement.

Since the President has chosen to not push the religion button at this time, I find it interesting that he thinks the government should be able to tell private industry what they must do.? He has now laid the concept that abortion and contraception should be given women free of charge by the insurance companies.? His White House Chief of Staff stated on Fox News that the Obamacare law gives the President the power to?tell a private industry what produces it will carry and then give them away free.?It would make more sense to say that all medical doctors must give abortions and contraception free.? After all, they are the guys who do it.? Better yet, he should mandate that the rich 1% have a special tax levied to pay for women?s abortions and contraception.??Some how, I seem to feel that there is a Constitutional question in all these ideas.? What gives the government the?right to tell an industry what it must do.? Certainly the government of the United State cannot do that unless it has become a dictatorship or socialist/communist government.? For a guy who taught Constitutional Law for ten years, does he really think the Constitution gives him the right to do this?
