Ron Paul: This birth control debate is just “silly”
posted at 1:55 pm on March 2, 2012 by Tina Korbe
In an interview with Piers Morgan last night, Ron Paul called the debate about the Obama administration’s contraception mandate “silly.” Refusing to discuss the mandate in terms of either “women’s health” or “sexual morality,” Paul kept the focus squarely on the freedom-breaching nature of Obamacare in general. In this instance, Paul, who in his first career as an OBGYN delivered hundreds of babies and was paid to care for “women’s health,” possesses a special credibility — and his classic libertarian response was a model for how to handle the issue for those who don’t want to discuss the cultural underpinnings and implications of the administration’s mandate.

God will smite Obama. He thinks he’s a god. He thinks he is a king. He is mortal. He will die like the rest of us. He is the most prominent worker for satan on Earth.

So on the left side of the front page we have Obama working to destroy the Second Amendment.
And on the right side of the front page we have Obama working to destroy the First Amendment.

Our Lord and Savior and President for Life Barack Obama has spoken. So let it be written. So let it be done.

Religion is overrated. Freedom is undervalued.

So were Donnie & Marie, the Klan and the Taliban.
I can tell by your tone that you’re one of those types. Go ahead explain to us how your perceptions of long-dead Americans validates your personal biases today.
Like I said before, religion is overrated. Adding to that, religious fanatics are overabundant.

Until this generation and their luciferian leaders.
tom daschle concerned on January 17, 2013 at 12:16 AM
How can anybody take you or your religion seriously when you’ve declared nondescript “leaders” as “luciferian?” The idea that you link to a “gospel” recording is a joke.
Whatever your relationship to God is I suspect that Jesus would be ashamed of you and your ilk parading around in his shadow throwing stones.

Maybe because of their bad ideas which are wrecking our nation?
But hey, go ahead, worship government all you want, Marxist Pig.

He worships at the altar of baby killers…He only believes in his power. He is a fake and a charlatan and associated with evil……

Unfortunately, too many “Catholics” of the left politically, think it means, “just practice,” but never really use it.
Nice to hear from the shepherds again–it’s been a long while and the few lone voices hardly scared the wolves off. The clergy voices seemed so much louder at Notre Dame cheering the abortion president…when only about 1/3 of the bishops spoke out publicly against the scandal.
Far less even murmured when Obama threw a spear through the Church’s heart-religious conscience.

You seem to think our Founding Fathers don’t matter any more just because they’re dead.
