excerpts:
- what gets Americans really fired up is the culture war
- the 9th Circuit Court overrule the popular referendum in California that banned gay marriage
- The nation and its media had a week-long freakout over a minuscule $700,000 grant from the Komen Foundation to Planned Parenthood.
- Obama Administration and the Catholic Church are in open conflict over whether religious institutions should be dragged into the bedroom to pay for their employees' contraceptives of choice
excerpts:
- But where Shields sees “cataclysmic” fallout, the White House sees something quite different: a chance to widen the reproductive health debate beyond abortion to issues like contraceptives, winning over key demographics of independent voters in the process.
- it may well be about the demographics that are most supportive of this particular health reform provision: young voters and women
- “If President Obama woos the vast majority [of his independent voters] back, he can be reelected.”
- when the conversation moves away from abortion to contraceptives - as it has this week - the intensity gap flips
- Boehner Vows to Block Abortifacient Mandate, Somehow ... "In order to spare women the costs of having to shell out twenty bucks once or twice a year (and that would be a lot, wouldn't it?), Obama's determined to run roughshod over religious liberties."
- Santorum wins big, has something changed?
If you can link up the issues of the economy and government overreach in the culture war, you may get a decisive decision at the polls in November. The government has too much power, is out of control, and this latest overreach is proof of it.
Update:
Does this mean that Obama has screwed the pooch on this issue?
