U.S. Catholic bishops are spending millions to fight Obama
and his insistence that if you get federal funds you will follow federal rules
even if they include providing contraceptives.
The bishops are calling this an attack against religion and
the Republican presidential candidates are jumping into the fray with both
feet.
Is it an attack on religion or on the Catholic Church…no
way!
It comes down to MONEY. The government gives out millions in
taxpayer dollars to institutions to provide social services usually to the
poor. These government contracts come with rules and since these services are
for the poor and downtrodden, the rules mandate providing services that the
poor and downtrodden need.
Catholic social service organizations want the taxpayer money
BUT they want to provide the services only they want to provide and NOT what
the people searching for these services need.
Catholic social services will not deal with people that are
gay, no matter what their need. They will not distribute condoms to people in
danger of contracting HIV. They will not deal with people needing help with
pregnancy issues…etc.
So why in the hell would the federal government give them a
contract to help the poor and downtrodden when they will not address the issue
they have and need help with? It makes no sense to me and I hope it makes no
sense to you.
I guess what really pisses me off is that the bishops are
screaming for their “religious liberty” but really what they want is their
views to be made into law for all Americans and that just cannot be allowed.
Catholic groups that have opposed U.S.
Time to stand up to the bullies; time to take their power
away and that means QUIT GIVING THEM MONEY!!!
Note: Obama has already given into the bishops when he declined to allow the "morning after pill" to be sold without a prescription even though all doctors agreed to it. Let us hope he has the balls to stand up to them AFTER ALL they do not control the way Catholics vote!
