New GOP Meme: Obama’s “War on Religion” Over With Catholics, But Now Targets Amish

Feb 10, 2012 9 Comments by

OK, so Obama’s “War on Religion” has officially ended. No offense to anyone, but I wish he took care of Jehovah Witness folks knocking on my door; or the creepy guys in white shirts who ride bikes around my neighborhood with said “war”. Oh well, maybe he’ll go after the Amish now.

Something tells me they are an overlooked crime syndicate given the strength of their voting block. Yep, pretty soon stupid Republicans will try to go after the Amish vote, by creating another wedge issue (read here). Yeah, something tells me that it won’t be long before one of the four stooges Republican presidential candidates will say that president Obama is trying to force Amish people to drive cars so as to open up a new market for his union buddies up in Detroit, as part of the auto bail out deal.

It’s either that or the GOP will spin this to be yet another one of their victories by saying that he “caved”, as I am sure some of my Liberal buddies believe. A pretty stupid assessment if you ask me, because everyone comes out smelling like roses on this one.

Because of today’s ruling by the White House, the Catholic church wouldn’t be forced into performing abortions as idiots on the right would have you believe. However, the burning question now, is that since the so-called “war on religion” has ended with not as much as one Bible tossed, what will the GOP do now? I’m telling you, their desperation will lead them to Gunther.

      If you believe in the Bell Curve “science” then there’s a very strong possibility that you’re just as racist as the author who wrote it; and, the Conservative think tank that funded it. But hey, there’s a new study linking low I.Q. to racism and prejudice. You might want to check that out so you don’t prove those that “science” to be correct.

      Has it been acting up?

    While he’s dealing with the Witnesses, I wish he’d do something about Mormon missionaries. I want to see Mitt Romney cry like John Boehner.

    And yeah, but I’m pretty sure that making a change that takes someone else’s position into account *without giving anything up* is brilliance, not caving. We all know the religious right’s agenda wasn’t really protecting the religious freedom of Catholic universities not to do what many of them were already doing. But now I’m wondering what the agenda of some of my fellow lefties was. If the goal was protecting women’s access to contraception, they should be dancing in the streets. If goal was sticking it to religion, then yeah, he failed them–but I’m okay with failing at stupidity.

    Of course, if the goal is to criticize everything this president does, then any policy would make them happily unhappy.

    I’m not saying that’s the goal. I’m just saying that, if he hadn’t changed the policy, they’d have been saying “We wanted him to stand firm, but this is political suicide. He’s going to drag the whole Democratic slate down with him.”

      I think this was yet another setup by the White House that exposed the GOP agenda. I really think he baited them on this one and won.

    The imaginary assault on religion is a shallow rallying cry driving by mass marketing gurus to foster derision against an un-expensive presidency. President Obama is managing to slightly better abide by the constitutional and legal restrictions on religion than our expensive republican candidates.Trying to run a country based on a book of fiction is not going to manage the country the best or even most effective way.A make believe god does not sound like any kind of valid argument for how to manage the needs of an entire nation. Looks like another reason for even more people to leave the church.

How Can Zimmerman Be Racist When He Mentored Black Kids, Voted for Obama, & Wears Hoodies?

Okay, so I know you’re asking, “Um, RiPPa, why in the hell would you ask such a question like that when you know good and damn well that Zimmerman is racist?” Well, the truth is, I don’t know whether he is racist or not. The only thing I do know is that he is responsible [...]

Post-Racial Update: Blacks and Hispanics Pay 3 Percent More for Homes

I really don’t feel like saying much on this one. No need for me to go back into the old news about banks taking advantage of minorities — you know, people of color? — which subsequently lead to the ugliest economic meltdown in modern history. Yeah, no need to bring that up when the common [...]

In a recent stand-up routine, Lopez shocked the world when he said, [...]

Shouldn’t the Voting Rights Act of 1965 be Obsolete?

Before I get into this one, allow me to say that this morning’s episode of MSNBC’s Up w/ Chris Hayes was epic; it was quite possibly the best episode I’ve watched to date. That in itself says a lot since I’m a huge fan of the show; and, the truth is, the show offers a [...]
