Obama's attack on all our rights. Or, the RC Church needs our help!

By now, all are aware of Obama's self-inflicted problem with the Roman Catholic Church. Mandating provision of contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in his health care plans, upon those who believe in neither. And destroying First amendment, Tenth amendment guarantees. Numerous infringements therein contained.

At this moment, there are over 80 MILLION articles on this subject! Have a ball, read to your heart's content. (Presently adding 25 million articles/ day ...better get started.)

Am I going to add to this great din? Nah, I think I'll just speak of one little word, overlooked in one document. The first document in the Bill of Rights. The eighth word in the First Amendment to our Constitution, to be precise....

This must have seemed really important to our Founders, to be the First amendment! And, the first item addressed in the first amendment! What does it say, exactly?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;..."

Seems perfectly clear, right? How about the eighth word, establishment? What does this mean? What did it mean? Does it matter, somehow?For this, I refer you to Noah Webster's 1829 American Dictionary: for the meaning at the time of writing:

"ESTAB'LISHMENT, n. The act of establishing, founding, ratifying or ordaining."

So, it's not just an established religion's beliefs that are denied here. The act of establishing your religion, your personal beliefs that may not be prohibited. Clearly and succinctly stated, within this one word!

The first sentence of the fist amendment is ignored by Obama. The definition of this critical word is denied, within the first 3 words of it's definition: "The act of establishing...."

Untold millions believe that it's evil to kill unborn babies: it's part of their personally established religion that it's a sin to kill innocent humans. And, that paying anything for this murder is a sin.

To the Christians and Jews among us, the 6th Commandment applies: "Thou shalt not kill." remains universal to us.

While the Catholics have stepped to the plate it's all of us, really, who are having our most basic beliefs denied.

The first sentence of our bill of rights is denied. The meaning of these simple words are ignored. Can it be stated any more simply?

We are told that we may not believe in whatever we believe in.

What say you?
