So if I overeat and smoke like a chimney and get diabetes and lung cancer, that’s my fault and my insurance might not cover my treatment under a single payer system if Michelle Obama decides that I “should have known better.” But if I decide to whore it up during Fleet Week and some sailor (sailors?) knocks me up, Obama’s single payer system will definitely be cool with helping me “fix” my little “problem”?
Interesting.
Why ask why? It ain’t Bud Dry.
It is, as Chuck Colson said, because sex–and sex alone, in all its multidudinous varieties and permutations–is the ONLY right left. Period.
All is negotiable, up for grabs, up in the air, hanging in legal multi-culti limbo, whatever. But sex, as Edith Effron noted, is the SecProg way of distracting people that while their thighs are busy, their back pockets are getting ripped off by Big Government nannies and rights systematically and methodically stripped.
You’re screwed all the while screwing, one might be tempted to say.
Guns? Nay, the Founders are archaic on that one, and you know those damn things flow over the so-called “border” just to YOUR south. Eric Holder tells us so. So there.
Freedom of conscience and faith? Nay–we can now force Catholics to dole out all manner of creams and jellies and other slather ons if the rubbers fail. Freedom of economics? Dare you ask with “mandates” and force of law. The Constitution on these points is little more than confetti. The ancient Brittanic law that says your home is your castle? You think it ends with the Chicago school districts BANNING bring-alone “brown bag” lunch for the kiddies (yep, true)? Nay, pantry inspections are being seriously suggested by concerned partisans who don’t even have children, but naturally know how to raise them better than you, and in Britain they already inspect private home pantries and kitchens for “sufficient” nutritional content. Adios, Cap’n Crunch, when Mom is in a hurry!
But sex? Lord forbid some hot vamp dude blows into town and hooks up with your dear little girl. And …well…..after true love makes its poisoned apple bite, it’s a shame if little Jenny can’t fit into her prom dress. So to the meat mill we take her for a Planned Parenthood “consultation”, and someone else gets to pay the freight on this transaction.
Oh, regarding your other post about the food cops, lord forbid they see my youngest glop brown sugar on his oatmeal.
Such is the mighty ediface of the State, eh?
“Interesting,” you say of the proposition. Why, it’s entirely internally consistent. If you engage in behaviors that displease big government, big government will disapprove of your persistence in vitality and expedite your annihilation. That applies whether your behavior results from your own deliberate choice (“overeat and smoke like a chimney”) or from an instinct of your very innocent existence (as an unborn child).
I know that the sailors are all fit and trim military men, notwithstanding the propositions of Michelle Obama to put them on North Korean military rations, but please make babies with your husband and only with your husband, whether he be a sailor or not. Should you deviate from that demand, voluntarily or otherwise, however, I implore you as a sentient being not to punish the most innocent party to such encounter: the baby therein procreated, no matter how much so doing may please big government. Nancy Pelosi did argue that killing babies reduces government expenses and stimulates the economy; however, any rational human would prefer greatly the pure, undeniable blessing of a live baby to “reduced” government expenses (e.g., public schooling) nor to a “stimulated” economy (as you now see in full effect).
We have an very intensely, downright dictatorially pro-death Administration ruling over this caustic, pervasive culture of death, intent on eradicating any vestige of the culture of life from existence, even in the heartland. This even may be the deep desire of a majority of the American people, so terribly degraded is our culture. Our Omnipotent God, however, promises that the gates of the netherworld never shall prevail against His Church. He makes no such covenant with Big Government. And He keeps His promises: kingdoms rise and fall, persecutions come and go, but His Church endures, expands, and persists. Such has been the history of the past two millennia, and especially the past century of martyrs. And now Big Government wants us to disown God by relegating His Law, inscribed upon every human heart, to secondary importance below Big Government; Big Government effectively demands that we worship its power as superior to Him. In the long run, Big Government will not stand, but God never fails.
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Damn, I like the way you cut to the heart of this stuff.
Dear Mr. President:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. That goes double for you.
Sincerely.

What compromise?
It still will be in a Catholic hospital’s insurance policy only the insurance compnay is supposed to offer it for “free.” It is a Leftist’s compromise–getting his own way
as if the dispute of principles/ethics never happened. Or mattered.
Screw that.
And don’t forget to say “thank you, King Obama” too…
Really though, he didn’t have the authority to mandate it in the first place, and has no authority to issue a compromise.
True that, brother.
