Obama versus the Little Sisters of the Poor:

“The Little Sisters of the Poor are an order of Roman Catholic nuns who have taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They operate nursing homes for those who cannot afford them and employ more than 50 persons. The sisters have objected to the requirement that they must pay for health insurance coverage that provides for birth control, as those payments directly violate Catholic teachings and beliefs.

In a pluralistic society, one would expect that the government would accommodate the sisters. In a free society in which everyone who works for the government takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, the feds have a legal obligation to accommodate them. In a political society in which many Catholics are Democrats who elected the Congress that gave us Obamacare, one would expect an accommodation. But we expect in vain, as the federal government has resisted the sisters mightily and asked the courts to turn down their pleas.”

The only point is this is true for everyone.

All those of us who oppose aggressive wars are forced to pay taxes to support the killing of strangers we have nothing against. Or we’re forced to support so-called NGO’s working hand in hand with an army of spies to destabilize and defraud the countries from which some of us emigrated.

Maybe the Little Sisters should take up some foreign policy activism, while some foreign diplomats can stand up for the Little Sisters.

Then we might really get some where….
