Law Suit For Freedom
7 states sue to block contraception mandate
Seven states filed a lawsuit Thursday to block the federal government’s requirement that religious organizations offer health insurance coverage that includes free access to contraception for women.
The attorney generals of Texas, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Carolina jointly filed the lawsuit in a Nebraska US District Court.
Two private citizens, two religious non-profit organizations and a Catholic school also joined the lawsuit against the contraception mandate, which is part of President Barack Obama’s sweeping health care law.
The lawsuit asks a federal judge to declare the law unconstitutional and enjoin the government from enforcing the requirement.
I’d really like to know why Tennessee isn’t part of this lawsuit. Come to think of it, I’d like to know why ALL states aren’t part of it! It is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. Ok, maybe I can understand why states like California, or New York, for instance, aren’t part of it, but the states run by rational people?
It was the intent of the Founders to keep government OUT of our religious organizations, not the other way around. Mandating an religious organization to do something that is abhorrent to their faith is unconscionable. Perhaps if there were more faithful people in the government, this would never have happened. But we can see that there are way too many who have turned away from our founding, and feel themselves above God’s law.
Violating The 1st Amendment
Barack Hussein Obama has blatantly violated his oath of office: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. He has neither preserved, nor protected!
Religious Liberty Under Attack
The Foundry
Today is Ash Wednesday — the first day of Lent — the beginning of 40 days of prayer and fasting observed by Christians across the country, culminating in the Easter feast. Likewise in April, Jews will gather to celebrate Passover, one of many traditions observed under the religious freedom that the U.S. Constitution was designed to preserve. Now, though, that freedom is under direct attack by the very government that purports to represent the people, and that is but the first step in Obamacare’s re-writing of America’s blueprint.
This week, two more Christian colleges joined other religious institutions in fighting back against that attack when they filed lawsuits against the Obama Administration for imposing an anti-conscience mandate under Obamacare. The controversial regulation forces almost all employers to provide health insurance coverage of abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization, without a co-pay.
Contrary To What You Might Think…..
….you don’t trump the Constitution OR the Bible!
Obama’s Attack On Churches
United Against Evil
Obamacare Awakens a Sleeping Giant
The Foundry
It is a rare moment indeed when faith denominations of all stripes unite together in common cause, and it is rarer still when that cause is a political one, with a sole piece of legislation as its principal target. But when that law eviscerates the very foundation of religious liberty in America as protected under the First Amendment, it should not be surprising that Catholics and Jews, charismatic evangelical Christians, and mainline Lutherans alike find common cause in defense of their liberties.
Such is the case with the firestorm of opposition to Obamacare and the Obama Administration’s attack on religious liberty. Under a new Obamacare mandate issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the White House is mandating that many religious employers, with the exception of churches, provide health care coverage for contraception — including abortion-inducing drugs — thereby trampling upon their constitutionally guaranteed free exercise of religion. And it is this mandate that has caused a vehement response in churches and synagogues across the country.
It’s About Bloomin’ Time!
Lawmakers move toward ouster of Occupy Nashville tents
Tennessee lawmakers moved Wednesday toward ousting the Occupy Nashville encampment from the grounds of the state Capitol, after a legislator said action is needed to stop the “theft” of a public place.
A subcommittee in the House of Representatives approved a measure that would bar camping on state property without permission, taking the first step toward giving Gov. Bill Haslam the legal authority to remove the approximately four dozen tents erected on War Memorial Plaza. The move puts the legislature on track to authorize removal of the encampment within a matter of weeks.
A representative for the Occupy Nashville protest tried to convince the House Judiciary subcommittee that the tents are a form of protest that should be protected by the First Amendment. But members acted unanimously to endorse removing an encampment that the measure’s sponsor, state Rep. Eric Watson, R-Cleveland, said has fostered crime, lewdness and unsanitary conditions since it began in October.
I am honestly surprised that Tennessee has allowed those nasty beings to continue to camp on PUBLIC property! I’m all for 1st Amendment rights, but these pigs have gone beyond ‘freedom of speech’ into, what some might consider, debauchery. The Occupy bunch have a rather colorful history of filth and crime.
Tents are NOT a 1st Amendment issue. They are inanimate objects, and have no voice. Those who put those tents up have every right to express their opinions. They do NOT have the right to hinder others from making use of the plaza that is owned by ALL the people of Tennessee. It is past time for these children to go home, get cleaned up, and grow up! Nobody OWES you a damn thing!
Occupy = Criminals
Police arrest about 300 Occupy Oakland protesters
Oakland police said they arrested about 300 people Saturday as protesters spent a portion of the day trying to get into a vacant convention center, and later broke into City Hall and tried to occupy a YMCA.
Police spokesman Jeff Thomason said most of the arrests came around 8 p.m. local time, when police took many protesters into custody as they marched through the city’s downtown, with some entering a YMCA building.
At about the same time police were taking people into custody near the YMCA, about 100 police officers surrounded City Hall, while others swept the inside of the building looking for protesters who had broken into the building, then ran out of the building with American flags before officers arrived.
Let’s see, breaking and entering, vandalism, theft. Does that pretty much cover it?
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan during a news briefing late Saturday said protesters had forced their way into City Hall, where they burned flags, broke into an electrical box and damaged several art structures, including a recycled art exhibit created by children.
Are they going to spout the tired line/lie “It’s for the CHILDREN”?
Police said the group assembled at a downtown plaza Saturday morning, with demonstrators threatening to take over the vacant Henry Kaiser Convention Center. The group then marched through the streets, disrupting traffic.
The crowd grew as the day wore on, with afternoon estimates ranging from about 1,000 to 2,000 people.
The protesters walked to the vacant convention center, where some started tearing down perimeter fencing and “destroying construction equipment” shortly before 3 p.m., police said.
Just because a building is vacant, doesn’t mean it doesn’t belong to someone. And unless that someone says you can move into it, then you are nothing more than a criminal. When you destroy someone else’s property, you are a criminal.
Police said they issued a dispersal order and used smoke and tear gas after some protesters pelted them with bottles, rocks, burning flares and other objects.
Most of the arrests were made when protesters ignored orders to leave and assaulted officers, police said. By 4 p.m., the bulk of the crowd had left the convention center and headed back downtown.
When you assault another person, whether they are LOE or a private citizen, you are a criminal.
The demonstration comes after Occupy protesters said earlier this week that they planned to move into a vacant building and turn it into a social center and political hub. They also threatened to try to shut down the port, occupy the airport and take over City Hall.
When you intentionally interfere with business, you are a criminal.
Hey…let’s face it! These occutards are nothing but criminal elements. They are thieves, liars and cheats. They want to take what belongs to someone else, and destroy it. How about they go home, and destroy their own property? They are a hazard to the general public, and if the mayor isn’t going to do her job, and watch out of the WHOLE city, then perhaps she needs to find another line of work.
This is no longer a 1st Amendment issue. Freedom of speech doesn’t cover destruction and theft! Here’s a thought. How about letting them into that vacant building, and lock the doors. It can be their jail. After all, isn’t that what you do with criminals? Put them in jail?
Censorship?
Twitter’s new censorship plan rouses global furor
Twitter, a tool of choice for dissidents and activists around the world, found itself the target of global outrage Friday after unveiling plans to allow country-specific censorship of tweets that might break local laws.
Well, after seeing this on Drudge, for some reason, I’m not all that surprised that Twitter, or any other “social network”, will censor. Of course, the occupy bunch are just nasty, and many are breaking laws already. They’ve had their say, now they need to go home, take a shower, and clean up their freakin’ mess!
It was a stunning role reversal for a youthful company that prides itself in promoting unfettered expression, 140 characters at a time. Twitter insisted its commitment to free speech remains firm, and sought to explain the nuances of its policy, while critics – in a barrage of tweets – proposed a Twitter boycott and demanded that the censorship initiative be scrapped.
“This is very bad news,” tweeted Egyptian activist Mahmoud Salem, who operates under the name Sandmonkey. Later, he wrote, “Is it safe to say that (hash)Twitter is selling us out?”
Unlike what we see on the evening news, we know there are some in the Middle East that actually DO want freedom. Medias like Twitter allows them to stay in contact with the rest of the world, and let people know what is REALLY happening, as opposed to what state run media allows out.
In China, where activists have embraced Twitter even though it’s blocked inside the country, artist and activist Ai Weiwei tweeted in response to the news: “If Twitter censors, I’ll stop tweeting.”
One often-relayed tweet bore the headline of a Forbes magazine technology blog item: “Twitter Commits Social Suicide”
To be honest, I don’t get on Twitter all that often anymore. But I do that there are a LOT who still use it, and that is where I go if something is breaking, and I can’t get find anything on traditional media. Usually, there will be someone retweeting the news. I can imagine in for people in countries like China and Iran, Twitter can be their lifeline to the world. For a company based in the U.S. (San Fransisco), where the 1st Amendment is vital to our very survival (after the 2nd), to censor users in other countries is completely mind boggling. Since when do Americans bow to the whims of foreigners?
“This is a good thing for freedom of expression, transparency and accountability,” he said. “This launch is about us keeping content up whenever we can and to be extremely transparent with the world when we don’t. I would hope people realize our philosophy hasn’t changed.”
I’m afraid I am having a problem equating this statement and the proposed censorship. Granted, I’m not exactly technologically savvy, but…..
Some defenders of Internet free expression came to Twitter’s defense.
“Twitter is being pilloried for being honest about something that all Internet platforms have to wrestle with,” said Cindy Cohn, legal director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “As long as this censorship happens in a secret way, we’re all losers.”
How can censorship on any level be defended? Ok, I will admit things like pedophilia should be discouraged on all levels, and shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theater when there is no fire, isn’t too bright. Some would call that censorship, but I’d call it protecting children and the general public. But those fighting for their freedom from oppression is not on the same level.
Reporters Without Borders, which advocates globally for press freedom, sent a letter to Twitter’s executive chairman, Jack Dorsey, urging that the censorship policy be ditched immediately.
“By finally choosing to align itself with the censors, Twitter is depriving cyberdissidents in repressive countries of a crucial tool for information and organization,” the letter said. “Twitter’s position that freedom of expression is interpreted differently from country to country is unacceptable.”
The freedom to speak out against oppression is a God given RIGHT! Twitter may very well be committing suicide. If another company comes out without the censorship issue, then the name Twitter may become a footnote in cyber history. There is more to the story. I’ve no doubt there will be more outrage, on the pages of Twitter itself, in 140 characters or less. We shall see!

U.S. gives church groups a year on birth control rule
The Obama administration on Friday ruled that religiously affiliated nonprofit organizations, including hospitals and universities, will have to offer birth-control coverage to women employees but gave the organizations an extra year to comply.
In a decision expected to draw opposition from religious conservatives, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a final rule requiring affiliated groups to provide a broad range of services, from implanted contraceptive devices to the morning-after pill. Many do not at present.
The government’s decision does not apply to churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and some religiously-affiliated elementary and secondary schools, which remain exempt.
But it comes as a blow to the interests of some religious authorities.
Wait a minute….isn’t it the left that is always shouting “church and state”? Even if there really is no such thing?
Now, if I remember correctly, the 1st Amendment gives religious organization freedom to practice their religion without government interference, unless of course, there is some seriously sick crap going on…or unless it’s Muslim, of course. Well? These hospitals and schools are run by religious organization, teaching and actually practicing their faith. For the Obama administration to come in, and DEMAND they go against their faith, to me, seems like a complete violation of their freedom to practice their religion as laid out in the 1st Amendment by the Founders.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;….”
Yep….there it is…right there! The very FIRST ‘right’ in the Bill of Rights. Demanding a Catholic hospital or college to defy their God given RIGHT to practice their faith by passing out anything that would/could end the life of a child goes against church doctrine. I don’t care if a lot of churches, Catholic or otherwise, have become so liberal they have forgotten what is actually IN the Bible, and thing this kind of intrusion of the federal government is just honky dory, it actually is NOT!
I pray that all true Christians, who still remember the Word of God, and do their utmost to follow His teachings will remember the continuous trampling of the U.S. Constitution come this next November. I also pray the new POTUS will remember that ObamaCare is one of the major reasons why he was elected, and from day one, work to de-fund and repeal that piece of garbage!

H.R.3261 – Stop Online Piracy Act
There is good reason to be extremely wary of this bill. The wording of many of the items in the bill should give EVERYONE pause. An example in SOPA:
Sec.1, Title 1, Definitions
Sec. 105. Immunity for taking voluntary action against sites that endanger public health.
I’ve no doubt the writers of this bill was considering the numerous jihadi websites, or others that promote violence, but what about Burger King? Many people seem to think that fast food restaurants ‘endanger public health’. Food nazis have been on the rampage for a while now, attempting to control what people decide to have for lunch. So, if I took advertising, which I don’t, and won’t, and Burger King wanted to put an ad on my site, the government could shut me down for accepting such an ad.
In Sec. 2, a, 1:
FIRST AMENDMENT- Nothing in this Act shall be construed to impose a prior restraint on free speech or the press protected under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.
Not true. See example above. If I accept an ad from someone the government doesn’t like, they can shut me down, which would be violating MY right to free speech! Not only would they shut me down, but anyone who is connected to this site behind the scenes, like the host we pay to run our sites. That would include silent E, and Ick.
Read the entire bill. It’s more than a bit disturbing. Congress has, over the years, whittled away our God given rights, for the purpose of control. This is just one more step in the process. My description may be extremely simplistic, but I’m sure you get the idea. Stopping theft of intellectual property isn’t a bad thing, but this is not the way to do it!
Write your Congress critter, and both your Senators. If your Rep is on this list of sponsors, rip them a new one! Let them know we do NOT approve of their sponsorship!

Silencing The Truth
UPDATE: Bare Naked Islam is back……sort of, and from Maggie’s Notebook….Bare Naked Islam Reinstated – Bare Naked Islam Support: A Suggestion for Bloggers and Commenters
An anti-Muslim hate blog that contained inflammatory comments has been taken down by its hosting company after numerous complaints from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, PR Newswire reports.
Since when do we cave to American hating animals? Oh yeah…since everything is supposedly offensive to murderous thugs, we must placate their little egos. Well, actually, they are rather LARGE egos, and have been growing since some fool claimed Islam was a ‘religion of peace’. Yeah…so peaceful that murdering women and children is a daily occurrence with them! And what has the U.S. policy been concerning these oh so peaceful animals? Why, they’ve opened the door and welcomed them in, to wreak havoc on our entire society. Islam and our Constitution do NOT mix! If you need proof, I have quite an archive under the category “religion of pieces”. There are plenty of visuals to keep you entertained for hours. Make sure you have a barf bag ready though! Many of the pictures are extremely gruesome….brought to you by…..drum roll please….. ISLAM!
They say that most people learned about Islam on 9/11. That might be true for many, but not for me. I have known about it for as long as I can remember. How? Well, if you have been coming around here for a while, you might already know, but I’ll share a bit anyway. You see, my adoptive mother was a first generation American. Her parents immigrated from Lebanon. Yep…that Lebanon, over there in the Middle East. Why were her mother and father sent to the U.S. by their parents, when they were both just teenagers? Because those oh so peaceful Muslims came into their village, and SLAUGHTERED a large number of those living there. Why? Because the village was a CHRISTIAN village. The stories I grew up with makes it possible for me to KNOW these animals are not worth spit! This was long before any ‘uprising’, it was just a regular occurrence in the area. Muslims have been murdering Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, etc., for as long as there has been Islam. That’s what they do! They even murder fellow Muslims if they don’t consider them Muslim enough. To me that translates to if you don’t adhere to the lying, cheating, pedophilia, murdering dictates of Mohammed, then you get to die too. They bow to a god of hatred. Allah is NOT the same God of Christians and Jews!
CAIR, and organizations like it, are dangerous to this country and must be stopped. We have a 1st Amendment and honestly, I think we have been more than tolerant of their hatred. You can’t say the same for them. There is NO tolerance is Islam. NONE! A constant violation of our freedom of speech can be pointed at this particular organization. Their attempts to silence people like Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, and now Bare Naked Islam, IS a violation of our Constitutional rights, which come from God. Allah ain’t in the picture!
People are justifiably angry. Do we continue to cave to the demands of the evil, or do we stand up and say NO MORE! I do not advocate violence toward anyone. Nor have I ever called for the destruction of anything. I do believe we have to eject those who would destroy us. The 1st Amendment doesn’t protect someone yelling FIRE in a crowded theater when there is no fire. Does it protect us from telling the truth about a murderous political cult? Evidently not.
“…Abridging The Freedom of Speech…”

The Unintended Consequences of Internet Regulation
The Foundry
Would you be outraged if the Department of Justice shut down The Foundry without any warning and blocked access for more than a year?
That’s exactly what happened to a hip-hop blog called Dajaz1.com, which was falsely accused of criminal copyright infringement. The blog posted music from artists promoting their work. But federal authorities viewed it differently. They seized the domain name, then shared virtually no information with its owner for more than year. Only recently did they quietly drop the case.
The government’s handling of this hip-hop blog is fueling fears about legislation moving quickly through Congress that addresses copyright infringement and online piracy.
The Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA as it’s known in the House, and the Senate’s PROTECT IP Act would give the U.S. attorney general the power and authority to block criminal enterprises from trafficking in illegal products online.
Their cause is a noble one. Business incur significant losses when Americans buy counterfeit items. Consumers must also be increasingly vigilant about purchases they make online. Federal authorities shut down more than 150 websites just last month for pirated goods.
Persecution of Christians…In The United States of America
Rev. Patrick Mahoney to read the Christmas Story at the Capitol Tree on Thursday, December 22, at 12:00 P.M.
The Capitol Christmas Tree is located on the West Lawn of the United States Capitol Building.
Rev. Mahoney met with Capitol Police officials telling them of his plans to sing Christmas Carols, read the Christmas story, pray for peace, justice and religious freedom, hold a small 5 inch Nativity Display and pray for political leaders at the Capitol Christmas Tree.
Police officials told him some of his activities may be prohibited or constitute an illegal demonstration.
An illegal demonstration? Reading about the birth of Christ is now illegal? WE, The People OWN that building, and everything in it, or around it. It’s ours. WE pay for it. To threaten a minister for doing what he was called to do is beyond comprehension, yet it is happening. IN a country founded on Judeo-Christian values, and LAWS, the thought of prohibiting the minister for reading the Bible, and holding a small nativity in his hand, is extremely offensive!
Rev. Mahoney told Capitol Police officials he would still read the Christmas Story and hold the Nativity Display on Thursday even if it meant arrest or citation.
This threat of arrest for reading from the Bible comes in the wake of national news stories reporting that the Capitol Christmas Tree has no ornaments depicting the Christmas Story, The Nativity or Jesus.
God bless this man for standing up for what is RIGHT! If he is arrested, I would be more than happy to contribute what little I can to aid him in his fight against this tyranny! I have to ask the obvious question: If an imam planned on holding an AK-47 or a bomb (which apparently is the typical symbol for the ‘religion of peace’) and reading the Qu’ran in the same area, would HE be threatened with arrest or citation as well? I honestly doubt it!
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 to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Public Enemy #1
The Perpetually Offended
They Don’t Believe In God, Yet Fear Christ?
by J.D. Longstreet
It makes no sense to me. Atheists declare they do not believe in the existence of God, yet they demonstrate an attitude of something akin to fear towards God’s Son, Christ, especially during the annual celebration of Christ’s birth.
Every year, Christians around the world celebrate “Christ Mass” or Christmas. And, every year at that time, those who declare there is no God demonstrate the depth of their “insecurity in their disbelief” by attacking those who celebrate the love and grace of a God who, Christians believe, sent his son into the world to provide a path to eternal life in what they believe is paradise or heaven.
Somehow, this poses a threat to the “God deniers.” I have yet to figure out how.
Ya know…I’ve been questioning the irrational behavior of those people for quite a while. Why fear something, or Someone you don’t believe in? In one way, it is rather amusing. In another, it’s quite sad. And then, there comes that “Are you people out of your flippin’ minds?” moment.
If you are a true believer, you already know whose hand is at work in all this. I shouldn’t have to tell you. 
To me, it’s quite obvious, and should be to you too!
Oh, don’t throw the old “separation of church and state” argument at me. If it were in the constitution, then I could, and would, support it. But nothing is said in the US Constitution about separation of church and state. The constitution simply forbids the government from establishing a “state church” as some of the old European governments STILL have today. (Even some early American states had their own state religion.)
That ‘separation’ nonsense has been so overused that there are some people in this country who actually believe it is in the U.S. Constitution. Please, if you find it, you’ll let me know, right? I don’t expect any response to the, because it is NOT in there…..ANYWHERE!
It would be wise if people would actually take a Constitution study course. I’ve seen them offered all over the place, people should really take advantage of them. Most of them are offered for free, just asking for a donation to help defray the cost of travel and such that is involved for the instructor. We have a fellow who has classes on a regular basis all over West Tennessee, by the name of Hal Rounds. I’ve no doubt he’d be happy to set up a seminar for your group, church, whatever. 
He’s a good guy.
Tennessee is also lucky to have an actual Constitutional scholar, Publius Huldah, or as those of us who know and love her, known as P/H. She doesn’t post often to her blog, but if there is ANYTHING you need to know about the Constitution, have some question as to the meaning, or original intent, THAT is the place to find it. Her post on the ‘separation of church and state‘ is a MUST READ!
The United States was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. Christmas is actually a FEDERAL holiday..aka HOLY day. You aren’t being forced to celebrate the birth of Christ, but you also have NO right to push your anti-Christian nonsense on the rest of us. All of those who get their knickers in a twist should volunteer to work that day, and not a one of ‘em should be allowed to take a Christmas vacation. If you don’t believe, fine. Then you shouldn’t be allowed to participate. Just sayin’.
Read J.D.’s whole column here.
