Obama-rama-bo-bama
This power grab was evidently made not so much to control the birth of untermenschenas to assert the Executive's authority to order private citizens to buy Stuff the Executive thinks is Really Kool.... It has nothing to do with whether contraceptives are a good idea; nor with whether they are legal, nor with whether lots of people want them. It does have to do with the Omnicompetent State instructing a religious body as to which of its activities are "truly" religious and which are not. That is explicitly forbidden by the First Amendment to do so.... But this president said, long before his election, that the Constitution was an "obstacle" to doing the right thing and has on more than one occasion expressed the wistful desire to rule by decree.... The appeal of fascism did not die with the 1920s and 30s. -- The TOF Spot: Statistics, Obamas, and Internet Memes
