Lies Obama told the Catholic Church - Beware!

When President Obama was elected, the entire nation including myself wished him the best. Being the first African American President of the United States is no small feat. He is an attractive man with an attractive family. He promised a new era of bipartisanship…there is no red America; there is no blue America; just the United States of America. Promising hope and change he was going to fundamentally change America.

But now the truth is out. It was a lie, a complete ruse. He suckered punched the American public and became the most partisan president this country has seen in my lifetime. His good natured smile masked the hate and disdain he had for the American people, clinging to their guns and bibles. He used the most onerous and underhanded tricks relating to Obamacare I have ever witnessed. He looked the American public in the eye and lied…over and over and over again on just about everything. The lies were so bad, the public went into a funk not understanding what they were seeing or experiencing. No one wants to call the President of the United States a liar…but he is. And now he has made the upcoming campaign one of the most hateful and negative we will ever witness…deliberate deceit as he shows his disdain for the American public. I am afraid to say what is behind the compelling smile…but it is not good.

The worst of it, the one that scares me the most, is his attack on religion. Among the other ugly nuggets found buried in its 2300 pages, Obamacare provides a new definition of religion. Barack Obama defines religious institutions as those entities that are operated by the religious entity for the members of the religious entity only employing members for the religious entities.

Using Catholics as an example, a Catholic entity would only enjoy constitutionally guaranteed protection if the entity was run by Catholics, for only Catholics, and employing only Catholics. In other words, outside of the church itself…and even that is questionable under this definition…there is no religious exemption for any outreach project. Catholic High Schools allow students to attend who are not Catholic. They employ teachers who are not Catholic. The same goes for Catholic Charities and Catholic Universities. Even within a church itself, if a non-Catholic housekeeper or secretary were to be employed by St. Dominic’s Church, then it would lose any heretofore constitutionally protected exemptions…like offering health insurance to employees which does not contain abortions or contraception as a benefit. Barack Obama lied to the Catholic Church when he told them don't worry about it, those provision don't apply to you. He lied. He lied. He lied. Surprise...they do!!!!

In fairness, the definition of a religous organization is not quite as onerous as I portrayed above...but it is darn close using the terms like "primarily" and "mostly."  What does that mean to a Catholic High School where 25% of the student population is non-Catholic; or to a Catholic university where over 50% of the population is non-Catholic; or to a Catholic hospital serving mostly non-Catholics.  Look at the testimony of the Georgetown University student boo-hooing about the church paying for her birth control. 

This is dangerous stuff. If this definition of religion is allowed to stand, it is not much of a leap to believe that it will spell the end to Catholic Schools, Catholic Universities, Catholic Charities, and Catholic Hospitals. You will see this sectarian ideologue and/or his minions expand the use of the definition and attempt to remove the crucifixes from the hospital rooms and religious classes from Catholic High Schools if non-Catholics are anywhere on the premises. And don’t believe him if he tells you otherwise. He has lied already. He will lie again.

The press may hesitate in calling Barack Obama a liar. I won’t just as Obama is now calling Mitt Romney a “felon.” Hard core left wing progressives have no qualms about using every dirty trick in the book, including lies and deception, to achieve their vision of the world. This is nothing new. Barack Obama is no exception. Beware of what is hiding behind that deceitful smile.
