Religious Policy Is Ignorance

Today's top news story was the Obama administration bowing to pressure from the Catholic church on the forced coverage of contraception to all businesses.  Last time I checked, just about every organized religion is a business with employees, an accounting department and benefits.

Religion has gotten so powerful to cause a change in public policy, yet when someone wants them to change and stop trying to implement laws on a book that is more than 2000 years old, they claim religious discrimination and that we are not respecting their beliefs.

Something is so very wrong with this picture.

The idea that family planning on a modern level cannot be allowed just busts my balls.  Oh, my bad.  Maybe the busting of ones' balls means no contraception can destroy a human life, that would make these backwards religious leaders pleased as punch.

Seriously, when are we going to grow up as a society and stop letting these supposed leaders control the majority of the citizens - including a growing number that believes in no religion?  It might be for a while, but I surely wish it would happen sooner.

And speaking of busted balls, maybe someday we will have a political system that grows a pair and tells these illogical control freaks to stay the fuck out of individual family planning.

Liberal Ruse

So I learned this week that the whole "birther" movement was created by liberals in order to mask and distract from the real issue, which is that President Obama is not, nor has he been, eligible to be president.

I guess that's right.  I mean, why else would reasonable liberals be fighting the conservative movement to keep things like a woman's right to choice, lower taxes and a cleaner environment?  They had to elect an ineligible leader to make it all happen.  A conspiracy in the making since August 1961.

Never mind that valid copies of the birth certificate have been produced. Disregard the fact that there have been others that have run for president that were not born on actual US soil (McCain is the most recent I can think of, born in Panama) who were never questioned about the authenticity of their birth certificate.

It seems us liberals are just making up shit as we go along, blaming it all on the conservatives and making us out to be the good guys.  It looks like the gig is up.  We've been found out.

So I guess when I run for office, I need to make sure I don't reveal that I was born in the back of a VW bus on the outer parts of Jakarta.  I just need to make sure I keep that faked birth certificate that shows I was born in California ready to unleash on the interwebs.
