A Long Record of Obamite Thuggery

David Catron had a superb piece today on site here on the injunction favoring Hercules Industries against the Obama team, with regard to the HHS abortifacient mandate. I have one up at Fox News.com on the same subject:
As President Obama’s mandated insurance coverage of sterilization, contraception, and abortion-inducing drugs takes effect on August 1 for ordinary businesses, the Health and Human Services mandate’s ultimate survival suddenly appears blessedly jeopardized….
In the text or footnotes of his decision, Kane used strong language against various arguments put forth by the Obama administration. As in: “I reject it out of hand.” And: “a distinction without substance.” Another argument is “irrelevant in this context.” And “the balance of the equities tip strongly [my emphasis added] in favor of injunctive relief.”
The ramifications of this decision could be enormous. If even a secular entity enjoys a “likelihood of success” on the merits of the challenge to Obama’s sweeping edict, then the dozens of suits filed by explicitly faith-related institutions probably enjoy a particularly strong likelihood of victory in court…..
This is very important. Other family businesses probably ought to follow Hercules’ lead.

There is no point in talking about any of these issues as long as the right has a liberal leader like romney. He is pro-abortion pro-gay-marriage. We won't win anything, the right won't win anything so the right might as well just shut up.
That is the point of the right having a "moderate" liberal, he is expected to hand all of the issues that conservatives care about, everything that really matters, to the left.
Senator Santorum won that fight a long time ago. Wake up Quin.

You are the one that needs to WAKE UP, and you'd better do so fast [as there are only several months left until November]. If you don't understand the difference between Romney and Obama [or Schumer, Durbin, Pilosi, Conyers,Biden etc] then obviously you're one of the reason why we're in this financial/economic toilet bowl today [since you no doubt were one of the stupids that voted for Obama on 11/4/08; or possibly you STAYED HOME AND PROTESTED AGAINST MCCAIN]. It's because of you that we have effective 15-20% unemployment, $trillions in governmental defecit/debt, a hellaceous healthcare bill stairing all of us taxpayers in the face, an unprotected southern border with illegals pouring inside this country daily, etc. Thank you for your stupidity!!!!!!!!!

Santorum voted for Bush Budget after Bush budget to fund Planned Parenthood--who are you kidding?
Does Quin's employer's health plan cover abortifacients?
I am wondering if the time has come for men to drop health care all together. Pay the penalty and so forth but not go along with it, as best one can.
