Babbling incessantly about a fictitious “war on women,” Barack
Obama and his band of hubristic hedonists play the victim even as
they rape the freedom and conscience rights of the religious.
Obamacare’s decree that the religious pay for the promiscuity of
their employees and students represents the greatest
government-directed assault on religious liberty in the history of
America.
The audacity of the president’s secularist hope — which
is nothing more than a totalitarian power grab against the Catholic
Church and other denominations — is despicable. The GOP should
apologize for nothing in this battle of the culture war and take
the fight to him. Portray him every day as an enemy of religion and
conscience rights. And do not surrender one inch to a mau-mauing
media of anti-religious bigots who do his bidding day in and day
out.
Far more troubling than Rush Limbaugh’s comment about
Sandra Fluke is the cowardice of country club Republicans who
refuse to join the talk show host in denouncing Obama for his war
on religion. If anybody deserves an apology from Rush, it is
prostitutes. They pay for their birth control themselves, and,
unlike Fluke, they don’t demand that the clergy underwrite their
carnal activities.
Let’s cut the PC crap: college and law school students who
demand that priests and nuns finance their fornication deserve
searing satirical treatment. This is the sorriest collection of
arrogant snots in the history of academia. Perhaps the sequel to
“Failure to Launch” — that Hollywood vehicle about an in-residence
thirtysomething who beds women in his parents’ house — will be a
pornographic film in which the aging protagonist uses the Obamacare
HHS mandate to purchase an endless supply of Viagra.
Obama already mandates the lunacy of
26-year-old-and-younger “kids” purchasing abortion pills and
contraceptives through the insurance plans of their parents. Now he
has to dragoon the religious into this absurd spectacle
too.
Naturally, Georgetown, yet another phony “Catholic”
university in the tank for Obama (its faculty outranked all other
faculties, religious and non-religious, in campaign donations to
the openly anti-Catholic candidate in 2008), sided with Sandra
Fluke. Out rolled the familiar wheelbarrow of pitiful PC clichés
from the office of Georgetown President John J. DeGioia:
In recent days, a law student of Georgetown, Sandra Fluke,
offered her testimony regarding the proposed regulations by the
Department of Health and Human Services before a group of members
of Congress. She was respectful, sincere, and spoke with
conviction. She provided a model of civil discourse. This
expression of conscience was in the tradition of the deepest values
we share as a people. One need not agree with her substantive
position to support her right to respectful free expression. And
yet, some of those who disagreed with her position — including
Rush Limbaugh and commentators throughout the blogosphere and in
various other media channels — responded with behavior that can
only be described as misogynistic, vitriolic, and a
misrepresentation of the position of our
student.
In other words, the flaky modern Jesuits DeGioia
represents stand ready to give Fluke an allowance for her
pre-marital sex. Somehow I can’t imagine the Jesuit founder, St.
Ignatius of Loyola, describing a demand from one of his students
for subsidized sin as an “expression of
conscience.”
After Obama’s bogus HHS mandate “compromise,” several
Jesuit colleges and universities praised it loudly, even though the
issue is moot for them, since they already furnish their students
with condoms, contraceptive jellies, and an assortment of pills.
Nor are some of the Jesuits themselves above nibbling at the crumbs
that fall from the table of this sexual revolution. Several years
back, a progressive California Jesuit who decided to quit the order
successfully demanded that his provincial pay for his vasectomy on
the way out.
It is too bad that Tom Wolfe hasn’t yet applied his comic
talents to secularized Catholic universities like Georgetown. “I Am
Sandra Fluke” would make for an illuminating novel of modern
farce.
