Why is defeating the Birth Control Mandate important to our Liberty?

These are scary times.  We have a President who along with his HHS Secretary have issued a MANDATE that Birth Control including the Morning after pill be available to ALL women by All medical facilities for FREE!  WOW!  Of course we've all heard of the outrage by the Catholic Church.  The President, after several days of heat said that he'd give them a year to make the transition.  How thoughtful!  After a few more days of Left wing rhetoric, with the Dem. Reps and Senators making statements that the Republicans didn't care about the welfare of women and that they wanted them barefoot and pregnant, the GOP stood with the Catholic church and condemned the mandate for what it is, a Presidential power grab meant to undermine the beliefs of many Americans.

The pressure kept up and the President backed off and changed the wording, now it would be the Insurance carrier of the Catholic Church that will have to offer it for free.  Oh Really?  Who pays the Carrier?  The Catholic Church does and is it any different than mandating that they pay or that the insurance that they pay for has to offer it?  It is sickening to think that this President thinks we are all so stupid that we can't see that NOTHING has changed except the wording?

Why in Heavens name should Birth Control of any kind be mandated to be given for FREE?  Those who want it can get it from the all to infamous Planned Parenthood for little or nothing.  I for one haven't heard the outcry on the street that "The Pill" was difficult to obtain for anyone.  Have women been marching on Washington or calling for Senate hearings over this difficulty?

The SCARIEST part that we all need to be afraid of is the MANDATE itself!  If these two can come up with this mandate just think what will be next.  I can think of a few possibilities just by paging through Obama Care.  What if the HHS Secretary gets it in her nut that Parents are not doing a good enough job feeding or caring for their children, will they mandate that the kids eat ALL meals at school or mandate that Social Services check every home and make decisions about the best interest of every child based on whether THE Health CARE guidelines are being met or if they think the parents are raising the children as they think appropriate.  Heaven help the elderly, just think of the MANDATES that could shorten their lives.  They may be mandated to stop all meds after a certain age, who knows. 

All I know is that this is extremely upsetting to have the Government MANDATING that People receive ANYTHING or ANY SERVICE for free across the board regardless of the person's ability to pay.  Why should any Drug company or any Insurance Carrier have to offer something totally free?  NOTHING is FREE!  We will all pay the cost of these "FREE" pills!  Drug costs will raise along with Insurance policies!  WE ARE NOT IGNORANT!

More than ever we need to get Obama out of office in November!  Heaven help us if he is re-elected!  The Stimulus that was supposed to create jobs immediately didn't work, the money never made it into the business community.  It went to cities that used it for their own pet projects.  Unemployment went from 7.3% to almost 10%, over that in some states, and now the WH says that it is at 8.3% but this is only because they adjust it by the amount of jobs available in the market place.  In the real world where we use real numbers it is well over 9% that's before the people that are still unemployed but no longer on unemployment or no longer looking for a job are counted.  The WH doesn't count them at all, they also don't consider the approximately 18% that are under employed or working part time due to lack of full time opportunities.  In the REAL world those numbers matter but not in the math in the White House!  Incredible!

Timothy Geitner (AKA Timothy tax evader)  Was questioned about Obama's budget by the Budget committee and he was asked for his opinion on it.  He stated that it offers no solutions but they don't like Paul Ryan's, which by the way offers solutions.  Another person was asked of Obama's budget, when  will the budget be balanced.  He kept repeating components of the budget but no date.  Each time the Senator asked for the date he started talking about the ideas in the budget, he was asked over 6 time to please just state a date, he couldn't and the Senator asking the question was told that he should forget about getting an answer because this person was apparently never going to be able to answer him.  The truth about Obama's budget is that it will only add to the deficit over the next 10 years and makes no mention of fixing or making sure that SS or Medicare are sustainable.

Finally saw some Democrats stand up in the Senate and question the Presidents tax break renewal that he has been using as a campaign issue. He has been blaming the GOP for not caring about the middle class by not approving the  renewal. Some Democrats have finally figured out that by renewing this tax break they are shorting the Social Security account and not finding other sources to make up the shortfall! The Senate Dems that spoke were angry and visibly upset that if they keep renewing this TAX HOLIDAY as it was called in the beginning, SS will totally collapse. Hope the public gets the message and holds him accountable.

In other news, I put my new "Support Scott Walker" sign up.  The ground was soft due to the mild weather and it was easy to set in the front yard!  Wish I had 10 more!  Lets pray for our country and the new leaders we will be electing in Nov!

God Bless the US!
