What would Obama do if millions of Catholics, Jews, and
Evangelicals practiced civil disobedience against Obamacare? It
might shock him enough to sign a law from Congress rescinding the
order. Then again, he might, if he escapes into the safety of a
second term, dig in. He made sure to delay the order's binding
effect until after the November election.
Obama's cynicism is impressive. He could have selected
open pagans as his agents of anti-Catholic destruction. Instead, he
found Catholics like Kathleen Sebelius and Joe Biden to do the
dirty work. That's a nice touch. And let's not forget that these
Catholics have received the blessing of Cardinal Mahony and his
friends. Recall the petition signed by Catholic academics defending
Sebelius during her confirmation hearings; recall Cardinal Mahony's
invocation at the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los
Angeles to which a young and rising Obama traveled.
Mitt Romney, by the way, is no guaranteed savior in this
scenario. Proof of his pro-life ambivalence is that after his
supposed conservative conversion he supported a law in the Bay
State that bullied Catholic hospitals into giving rape victims
abortifacients. He, too, supported the secularist monopoly over
public life -- a monopoly that, until it is busted by civil
disobedience and a deep change in the culture, will make assaults
on religious freedom unceasing and inevitable.
More here.
Obama certainly does have audacity. I am not without hope however.

Your outrage about this mandate seems solely directed at Obama, and perhaps justly so, but is going after the sinner and not the sin the right reaction here? I've been reading elsewhere a "throw da bum out" mentality. For what alternative? Surely not Romney. Wouldn't it be better in this situation to focus aggression at the bill and not the Prez?
