Republican Amendment Proposes Religious Liberty Based Death Panel

President Obama’s election engendered a rash of fallacious claims about tyranny and loss of freedom within weeks of the Koch brothers’ creating teabaggers. At tea party rallies across the nation racists objecting to an African American man in the Oval Office held signs decrying “tyranny” and Gadsden flags with a rattle snake and the words, “don’t tread on me” that symbolized resistance to oppressive British acts in colonial America. Interestingly, queries to teabaggers about which liberties they lost when Obama was inaugurated went unanswered; they just knew the President was a tyrant who stole their freedoms.

Republicans assailed President Obama for restricting religious liberty when he included contraception in employees’ health insurance coverage, and even after exempting faith-based institutions from the law, Republicans still claim he is restricting religious liberty. In a move to counter health insurance contraception coverage, Republicans have taken steps to allow any employer to deny health insurance coverage for any preventative or essential health care service, not just contraceptives. The amendment is sponsored by Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) and it is the death panel Sarah Palin preached about during the healthcare reform debate, and the ultimate loss of freedom (life) at the hands of Republicans. It is also how theocracy begins.

1. The "Small Government" Party applying Big Government Solutions for problems that don't exist.

The contrast between Parties couldn't be clearer. They are going "all in" on creating a theocracy to supercede our secular democracy.

2. "Republicans show a frightening facility for the techniques of totalitarianism."

"...Conservatives like to preach about he evils of Big Government, but they are very comfortable using government power to go after their political enemies ( Tom Delay used Dept of Homeland Security to hunt down Texas Democrats). Republicans show a frightening facility for the techniques of totalitarianism."
