U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson of the 2nd District of South Carolina, known for his "You lie!" outburst in the middle of Barack Obama's address to Congress. Talk of racism quickly emerged, even the "Establishment” Republicans through Joe under the Bus!
Since when is Truth a reason to throw Joe under the Bus?
I was in Savannah GA visiting my daughter and son in law before he was deployed to Afghanistan right after the Joe Wilson outburst, met him at a Tea Party event we attended. My son in law and I had our picture made with Joe. I encouraged Joe to continue on his stand for Truth and the American Ideas our founders laid out for us!
Time has shown what Joe Wilson said and what many other Americans thought was true.
What Obama was saying was a big fat lie!
We need another Joe Wilson moment!
Our Freedom and Liberty have slowly and methodically eroded under this President in the last 3 years.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”- First Amendment to the Constitution.
Let’s take the latest example. “Contraception” the attack on religious freedom!”
Mandatory insurance coverage for contraceptives, sterilizations and abortifacient drugs is an "attack" on religious freedom that Catholics must oppose, Archbishop Robert J. Carlson of St. Louis said.
"The Church cannot, and will not, be silent in the face of this grave threat to religious liberty and the sanctity of human life," Archbishop Carlson said in his Jan. 23 column for the St. Louis Review.
Mr. Obama did not win over the bishops. Timothy Dolan, the leader of the United States Conference of Bishops, “…today's proposal continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governance of religious institutions, and to threaten government coercion of religious people and groups to violate their most deeply held convictions.”
The issue here is not contraception; nor is it the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church. It is critical to see through the fog surrounding this and get to the essence:
Obama feels comfortable in decreeing to "We the People" what we can and must believe, we must buy, we must Act the Way he deems, regardless of the issue of the day.
Whether you are a practicing, devout Roman Catholic or an Atheist, whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, whether you are conservative or liberal, republican or democrat, the Executive Branch of your U.S. Federal Government has entered into a Battle of Liberty far beyond what anyone could ever imagine!
Excuse me Mr. President you are not a King or a Dictator and this is not your kingdom!
It is a fight between all Americans who believe in the God given right to worship as we please and express our religious preferences, and this White House, that believes it has the right to tell Catholics how they should worship. This is a constitutional battle!
Our constitutional liberties are under attack, and they will continue to be as long as we let our elected leaders get away with it they will attack!
Most people in America are Christian of one type or another, so when religious believers in America say that religion is under attack, what they likely mean is that they feel that their religion is under attack. In other words, the belief that religion is under attack in America can usually be read as the belief that Christianity is under attack in America.
Martin Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation:
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.
The attack is on you and your freedom. The dictates of this government have disguised this with “contraception.”
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything - Aaron Tippin
In this latest attack, we happen to all be Catholics right Now!
Where do you stand America?
