Republican Totalitiarian Richard "Howling Mad" Mourdock declares Bow Down or Republicans will launch a New Civil War!

"A society devoid of compromise is totalitarian. If I had to define a free and open society in one word, the word would be compromise." - Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals.

"What I’ve said about compromise and bipartisanship is I hope to build a conservative majority in the United States Senate so that bipartisanship becomes Democrats joining Republicans..." Richard "Howling Mad" Mourdock, Totalitarian Republican candidate for Senate.

Compromise is back in the news cycle again. And once again a Republican Tea Party Extremist hath decreed Compromise to be Do as I Say!

But, it's far worse than just that "Howling Mad" Mourdock is another asshole Republican who also invoked the "I am the 53%" tax nonsense.

"I am here to suggest to you that we are in a house divided. You know this past April, when our federal taxes were paid, 47 percent — 47 percent — of all American households paid no income tax. In fact, half of that 47 percent almost, actually got tax money back from the government that they never paid -– because a few years ago we revised the welfare program to make it part of the tax code. When 47 percent are paying no income taxes — they do pay Social Security — but they are not paying income taxes, and 53 percent are carrying the load, we are a house divided." - Richard Mourdock

I've already written and demolished this Republican Reverse Robin Hood Scheme about how Republicans supposedly the Party of lower taxes simply wants to raise taxes on the Poor while cutting funding to government programs that aid the sick and poor so the Rich can enjoy more Tax Payer Welfare [See My Post: Why would any poor person vote for a Republican?]

All of a sudden the profligate spending Republicans couldn't squeeze the Poorest Americans to pay for their mooching Corporate Welfare ways because the Poor were not paying their fair share of taxes! Talk about your Class Warfare. Republicans began a blitz of propaganda that, depending upon which Republican you were listening to, 45% or 47% or 49% or 51% or whatever number they found convenient to demagogue about, weren't paying any taxes!

But, wow it really highlights the Republican Class Warfare. After 30 years of Piss Down Your Back and Tell You It's Raining Reaganomics and the Effects of the Bush Republican Recession hard-working people are too poor to pay Federal Income Taxes but, as Len Burman pointed out, 82 percent of them pay more payroll tax than income tax. They also pay federal excise taxes on gasoline, beer, wine, liquor, tires, and cigarettes. As well as, state and local taxes. But the Poor are, as the Wall Street Journal once branded them, the "Lucky Duckies". According to Timothy Noah,

A new report by Citizens For Tax Justice, a labor-funded nonprofit with a reputation for dispassionate economic analysis, lays this out. When you factor in all state and local taxes, the bottom fifth (i.e. people earning, on average, about $13,000) pays on average an effective tax rate of about 17 percent. When you do the same for the top one percent (i.e. people earning, on average, about $1.4 million) the average effective tax rate is 29 percent.

But, beyond the Class Warfare plans of Mourdock and Mitt Romney (whose tax Plan raises taxes on the poor while lowering them on the super rich), what Richard Mourdock is really calling for is a New Civil War.

We are a House Divided... Mourdock either is as violently stupid as Sharon "Second Amendment Remedies" Angle or as actively ignorant as Christine "I'm a Witch" O'Donnell. There can be no other way to interpret the use of Lincoln's speech, Mourdock intends to use the power of the Federal Government to bring the Poor to heel. To shackle the Poor, Sick and Old with onerous new taxes, to slash their benefits and to trap them in Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage to the Plutocracy which he so reverently serves.

This Speech by Mourdock is the Call for Conseravtives to begin a New Civil War. Conservativism is Terrorism.

Move "Forward" with the President not backward with Totalitarian Republican Oppressors

The Right-Wing is made up of Oppressors who strive to do nothing other than to chain Americans with the shackles of Right-Wing oppression and wage slavery.

President Obama's election team unveiled their new campaign slogan, "Forward". Immediately the Right-Wing imbeciles jumped up and declared Forward means Maoism or Leninism! But after realizing most of their conservative myna bird-brains didn't grasp Maoism, The Washington Times simplified for the duped conservative drone, New Obama Slogan has long ties to Marxism, Socialism.

Now, while Forward also happens to be the State Motto of Wisconsin and the domain name "Forward.com" is the website of The Jewish Daily Forward, a publication begun in 1897 with strong socialist roots, it would be fantastic if Barack Obama was a Socialist, but his voting record clearly shows President Obama is a fiscally moderate/conservative. Which is why the U.S. hasn't emerged from the Republican Recession.

30+ years of Conservative economic policy is precisely why we have massive Income Inequality and why CEOs "earn" almost 400 times what the average worker makes. The 1% have been pissing down the backs of all Americans and telling them it's trickle down prosperity for 3 decades

But, remember no matter what the 1% and their Republican lackeys and Right-Wing lapdogs tell you it's not Socialism when Billions in Tax Payer Dollars are funneled to their tax dodging Corporations or Plutocrats off-shore bank accounts. No that's helping "Job-Creators", it's only Socialism when it comes to Medicaid to the indigent or Social Security to the disabled.

However, even though conservatives are oppressors there is a hierarchy amongst the Oppressor Class. Normally it directly correlates to money or power but, anyone willing to denigrate and divide the people can be accepted into the bosom of the Totalitarian Right-Wing fold. For example, Sarah Palin.

Today Palin has money, not Koch Money, mind you, but some. However, her rise from obscurity to her 18 month dominance of the right-wing world occurred precisely because she was willing to go on word salad tirades against the oppressed and in favor of keeping the oppressed down.

But, the weak and stupid amongst the Oppressors only know the Oppressor/Oppressed Dichotomy and having grown up in a misogynistic, Patriarchal, homophobic, repressive rich-deifiying society see no other recourse but to Oppress those whomever they can, which is how we have poor conservatives who use medicare and social security siding with the Hedge Fund Vultures who make money off of firing American workers and starving children to death in Africa and who are pushing their Republican Lackeys to eliminate the programs which aid Millions of Americans.

Oppressed Conservatives side with their Oppressors, the 1%, because they don't know anything better than to try and knock down the oppressed, as well.

This was clearly illuminated, in the Pedology of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire,

But almost always, during the initial stage of the struggle, the oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors, or "sub-oppressors." The very structure of their thought has been conditioned by the contradictions of the concrete, existential situation by which they were shaped. Their ideal is to be men; but for them, to be men is to be oppressors.

So, the attacks on Socialism are not because of the conservative catch-phrase, 'Eventually you run out of other peoples money', the Plutocrats Theft of Billions of US Tax Payer Dollars proves that. No it is because that while there is a hierarchy amongst the Oppressors, even the lowliest conservative is an Oppressor and knows no other way.

So, it's going to be another 6 long months of frothingly insane rants against Socialism, violent Ted Nugent rhetoric, and the occasional Tea Party Extremist Domestic Terrorist Murder Spree as the Totalitarian Right-Wingers fear their ability to oppress and control the 99%.

And just as with JT Ready and all the other Conservative Domestic Terrorist attacks [See My Post: Another Anti-Government Domestic Terror Attack (Conservative Terrorism)] their language is going to be sickeningly evil. The Republican Party and their Right-Wing lapdog bloggers are going to vilify #Occupy and OWS and Women and African-Americans and the poor and the sick and the elderly and all of the Oppressed.

Again from the Pedology of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire,

For the oppressors, however, it is always the oppressed (whom they obviously never call "the oppressed" but -- depending on whether they are fellow countrymen or not --"those people" or "the blind and envious masses" or "savages" or "natives" or "subversives") who are disaffected, who are "violent," "barbaric," "wicked," or "ferocious" when they react to the violence of the oppressors.

Republicans think 99% of Humanity is Disposable

The fight over abortion, contraception, Medicare, Social Security, Wealth Inequality can all be summed up easily:

To the Republican Party the 99% are nothing more than interchangeable parts to be used in the gears of Industry and War and to be disposed of when broken by those Monsters.

You, Mister or Miss Average American, are nothing but a fresh body to be plugged into the system. When you can't do the job anymore you are not worth anything to the Republican Party and Plutocratic Lords they serve.

This is why they don't want you educated. This is why they want women trapped in the cycle of childbirth. This is why the are constantly trying to eliminate Medicare. This is why they are always trying to take away Voting Rights. This is why the undercut and destroy Labor Unions. This is why the constantly want to steal Social Security.

The whole goal is to get as many people into the Capitalist system, train them just enough to haul trash, input data, pull a trigger or sweep and mop a floor. But, when you can't do those things anymore or can't give birth to another generation...

The Republican Party sees all humanity as nothing more than a giant pool of labor. To be used and abused when young and healthy and cast aside when old, sick or broken.

Here are just some of the evidence:

Senator Mike Lee of Utah ran in 2010 on repealing Child Labor Laws. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gringrich echoed his sentiments by declaring, "Child labor laws are truly stupid" and a plan to "get rid of unionized janitors and pay local students to take care of the school."

Education has always been a bane to Republicans because once people, especially women, are educated they overwhelming reject conservatism and Right-Wing thinking.

Lost amongst the odious Racist Limpballs repeated sexual harassment and misogynistic assaults on Sandra Fluke was he continued on other women and vented his anger on "Overeducated single white females". Educated women scare and infuriate Limbaugh because they can see through his shallow pleas to to the Patriarchy and Oppression.

Rick Santorum thought he was scoring points with conservative voters when he smugly stated,

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.”

But, that was merely a play to anti-Elitism. His real fear are educated Americans. On President Obama’s efforts to boost college attendance, Santorum warned his supporters about higher education,

“because they're indoctrination mills, absolutely … The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country.”

Of course, attacking education as away to further the Oppression of Women hasn't been confined to merely Limpballs 20 year defamation of educated women as "Feminazis". Republicans are using the power of Government to pass laws to restrict and shame any woman who dares buck the power of the Right-Wing Patriarchy.

Multiple Republican controlled state Legislatures, have decided and passed degrading State-Sponsored Trasnvaginal Ultrasound Laws, or to be more accurate State-Enforced Slut-Shaming Rape Wand Laws. The Key Leader of this has been Virginia and Republican Governor Bob McDonnell but such "Laws" have spread to multiple states.

But, not to just limit themselves to "Ultrasound Opportunity Acts" Republicans have begun an assault on contraception and the sexual behavior of all Americans as well.

The Republican Totalitarian Assault on America doesn't just target children and women but is also focused on rolling back hard won gains for all American workers. Republicans take aim at dismantling Unions because Unions give Americans a fighting shot at earning a good, living wage with benefits instead of being held at the whims of the 1% and their cut-throat Capitalism.

The soon to be recalled Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker never mentioned Unions prior to being elected but after winning struck right at Unions (while sparring others in an attempt to divide and conquer) while sneaking State funds and State-controlled utilities to the Koch Brothers who are bankrolling him.

Several other Republican Governors Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Paul LePage of Maine, John Kasich of Ohio and Rick Snyder of Michigan joined the Crusade and created budgets which placed the burden of Government onto the backs of working and middle class Americans while stripping Unions of Rights all in an effort to reduce the standard of living for Americans and make them wage slaves to Corporate Monsters.

Besides gutting and dismantling Unions, Republicans work to reduce the standard of living of 99% of Americans by their constant restructuring of the Tax Code. Republicans tinkering isn't designed to make it easier or more comprehensible for the 99% but, to make it byzantine and laden with special tax cheats for the 1%.

The elimination of Security and Exchange Tax and deregulation of Wall Street lead to the George W(orst President Ever) Bush Recession, but the dropping of the Capital Gains/Deferred Compensation tax rate to 15% allowed the Richest Americans to accelerate their control over the Wealth of the Nation. So much so, that in 2010 93 percent of income gains went to the top 1 percent.

But, even though Mitt Romney, Nominee of the 1%, paid a tax rate of 13.9% on his income of $21.6 Million dollars, Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh and Newt Gingrich (again) think that rate is too high. They both want Capital Gains taxes to be ZERO and for Mitt and all the Vulture Capitalist to take home all the money they make on firing Americans and closing American factories.

Additonally, the entire deabte over Obama Healthcare Insurance Reform centered around Republicans opposition to letting Americans enjoy a modicum of decent healthcare in their old age. Congressman Paul Ryan when he's not out being wined and dined by Billionaire Hedge Fund Vultures, created a program he calls New Medicare, the goal of which is the destruction of Medicare and it's replacement by a system of capped and limited payouts for medical coverage.

Even though Social Security, as it is currently structured, will be able to pay out until 2037 and is not causing the deficits, Republicans have been claiming for 70 years it's on the verge of bankruptcy. Their dire predictions, like those of Armageddon is at Hand Preachers, all fail but that doesn't stop them from repeating them at every opportunity.

Back in 2010, Tennessee Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn ominously declared, "My colleagues celebrate this day as being like the day when Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid were passed. They forget that today those programs are insolvent and will likely crush our children under their debt"

Texas Governor Rick Perry, who never met a bribe he didn't like, declared Social Security is "a Ponzi scheme".

The only scheme going on involving Social Security is the Republican Plan to steal those funds and funnel them into Wall Street, where the 1% can apply the Free Market to them and they'll vanish into the Plutocrats off-shore bank accounts.

I could go on like this and highlight Indiana Congressman Rick Morris violently stupid, arrogantly uninformed, insulting attack on the Girl Scouts of America when he wrote a memo to his friends in the 112th Congress,

"I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing. The Girl Scouts of America and their worldwide partner, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), have entered into a close strategic affiliation with Planned Parenthood. You will not find evidence of this on the GSA/WAGGGS website—in fact, the websites of these two organizations explicitly deny funding Planned Parenthood."

This is your Republican Party America. You may think these are just crazies infecting the Party but, it isn't it's part of their goal of reducing the American People to the Status of third-world Wage Slaves, while the Republicans act as the Guard Dogs and Protectors of the 1%.

Sandra Fluke will be destroyed by the Totalitarian Right

“We refuse to pick between a quality education and our health.” - Champion of Liberty, Sandra Fluke

If you've ever wanted to see what the Totalitarian conservative War Machine does to it's targeted victims take a speculative stroll through a few Right-Wing Blogs; Jammie Wearing Fool, Pat Dollard, Glenn Beck's The Blaze, Free Republic, The Other McCain concerning Sandra Fluke.

It's chilling. The vitriol. The hatred. It's how people convince themselves to do something about political opponents.

The low-grade insults are merely the initial attacks what is fascinating are how the Conspiracy Theories spring forth from the minds of Right-Wingers.

Already the Right-Wing Noise Machine begins: Comments and bloggers allege she is a lesbian, she is a plant by President Obama or the White House specifically dispatched to Georgetown to create a birth control controversy, alleging that the Healthcare Coverage change is a mandate to abort children.

It‘s worth noting the massive number of women’s issues groups Fluke was involved in, even while in college. Because every Totalitarian Right-Winger knows any woman involved in woman's groups is a Feminazi. Q.E.D.

That’s right. It seems Fluke intentionally chose to go to Georgetown so she could agitate and sway them to cover contraceptives Dun dun dun! How dare she try and sway an institution! She should just have shown up at Georgetown wearing Revolutionary garb and holding a Tea Party sign declaring "I came unarmed this time..."

This broad went to the school strictly to challenge its insurance’s contraceptive policy, not even as a real student…and all magically timed to coincide with Obama’s big contraceptive push… Except, of course, she's been a student at Georgetown since 2009.

This is followed by Faux News and their incestuous amplification of fact-free conspiracies as Eric Boiling stated, "Fluke seems like a plant." However, Right-Wingers need little convincing. For they already have their pre-conceived notions. Birth Control is immoral hold some aspirin between your knees or we will denounce you as a slut.

This is the Republican/Right-Wing/Conservative position: Any woman who uses contraception, covered by an insurer, is a slut in the eyes of every Right-Winger.

So, even though Racist Limpballs backed down don't expect Totalitarian Right-Wingers to stop the insults, the Assault on Women and the plan to turn women into oppressed second-class citizens in America.

Right-Wingers Birth Control Crusade is about telling you what to do

When it comes to Birth Control who knows better than a panel of angry, offensive, pasty-faced, old white male virgins!

This has always been about Unequal Protection under the law. The Catholic Church or the unelected minuscule council of Catholic Bigots err... Bishops doesn't have more rights than an American individual.

Right-Wingers are hammering on about this being a religious liberty issue. It partially is. The Totalitarian Right are supporting the trampling of an individual's rights by proclaiming an institution may prohibit covering contraception via their healthcare coverage and that the church can dictate to a private insurance company not cover it either.

While the Catholic church and afflilated organizations may bargain new coverage plans with insurance providers the whole point is if any institution is providing healthcare coverage as part of the benefit compensation for their workers they don't get to dictate the terms of how the person uses that coverage.

It's one step away from catholic church or right-wing bigots saying, 'Your salary can't be used to purchase things we dislike.'

Your employer does not have the power to tell you that your money can not be used to buy condoms or cigars or fluorescent light bulbs or wine or foie gras or to make a donation to Doctors Without Borders or the DCCC.

It's not their right* to tell you what you can and can not buy.

It's amazing that the Right-Wingers who constantly proclaim themselves the champions of freedom are firmly siding with a group specifically saying they want to restrict people's freedom.

*- I will note that some organizations make people sign morality clauses prior to employment.

Seems the Cathars and Christopher Hitchens had it right...

About anal sex and the Catholic Church...

"Can you understand the feeling some conservative have?" -David Gregory, Meet The Press.

Yes, I can understand. Conservative Christians are on a Totalitarian Birth Control Crusade. So, yes I understand. And the answer to these mendacious right-wing zealots is Fuck Off. Conservatives are regressive scum who espouse a totalitarian ideology designed to subjugate and oppress people.

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! noted,

According to the nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute, which studies reproductive health issues globally, in the United States, “among all women who have had sex, 99 percent have used a contraceptive method other than natural family planning. This figure is virtually the same among Catholic women (98 percent).” According to a Public Religion Research Institute poll, 58 percent of Catholics believe that employers should provide employees with health-care plans that include contraception.

Claiming this issue is about "religious liberty" is akin to claiming slavery is about "religious liberty". This is about Totalitarian Control.

What the Totalitarian Right-Wing christians want is, as Christopher Hitchens put it, "a celestial dictatorship, a kind of divine North Korea."

After the deft move by President Obama laid clear the Religious Zealots motivations, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops continued down their road of moral turpitude bemoaning, “It would still mandate that all insurers must include coverage for the objectionable services in all the policies they would write,” the bishops said. “At this point, it would appear that self-insuring religious employers, and religious insurance companies, are not exempt from this mandate.”

Timothy Dolan speaking for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops proclaimed the President’s plan will require “careful moral analysis” and hoped "our religious freedom are not harmed by these regulations."

Religious authority. "Moral Analysis". What a joke. The same day the U.S Conference of Catholic Bishops was frightened loose women would get contraceptives, previously sealed documents filed in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee bankruptcy listed at least 8,000 new instances of child sexual abuse by 100 alleged offenders - 75 of them priests, all of them previously unidentified.

So, Dolan and the bishops can take their "careful moral analysis" and stick it in the Vatican Catacombs.

As Jill over at Brilliant at Breakfast noted,

Where these absolutists are concerned, there IS no such thing as balance. You're either going to run this country as if it were a radical Christian theocracy, or you're going to run it in a sane manner.

Jill is correct. The Christian Fascists are All In. They are never going to accept anything less than absolute power.

It's not called Sharia Law when Totalitarian Conservatives do it...

Republican controlled State Legislatures along with Republicans Peter King, Steve King, Roy Blunt, Mitch McConnell in the House and Senate and most of the stinking trash known as Right-Wingers were so frightened of Sharia Law being adopted in the US they held mulitiple tribunals and crafted legislation in over 20 states designed to make Sharia Law's adoption illegal.

Now we know why the Teahaddists were scared of a Sharia Law being forced upon the American people. The Totalitarian Conservative Christians were planning on forcing their silly religious precepts and Dominionist dogmas upon all of us as soon as they got the power.

The Republican Scum in the Federal Government are trying to force legislation through to establish Christian Fascist Religious control upon all Americas using Healthcare as their vehicle of conversion. Republican fanatic Roy Blunt proposed a "Religious Freedom" Rider onto a Transportation bill in the Senate.

Of course, the rider has nothing to do with a Transportation Bill but, Republicans are shameless in pushing their bigoted Totalitarian Control onto America. The amendment contains the following language:

While PPACA provides an exemption for some religious groups that object to participation in Government health programs generally, it does not allow purchasers, plan sponsors, and other stakeholders with religious or moral objections to specific items or services to decline providing or obtaining coverage of such items or services, or allow health care providers with such objections to decline to provide them.

So, if your employer is a right-winger who, ipso facto doesn't like women, and he "morally objects" to pap smears; Boom it's no longer covered for you. Roy Blunt and the 300 Republican bureaucrats in DC believe that your employer should be able to tell you, the American citizen what kind of healthcare you receive, based on his feelings...

Mitch McConnell braved the terrible Liberal Media on Sunday to tell CBS host Bob Schieffer, "This issue will not go away until the administration simply backs down." Bob Scieffer wanted to know if McConnell supported Blunt's Rider to allow any employer the "Right" to deny any coverage because of their moral feelings. McConnell of course replied, “Yeah,” McConnell admitted. “Of course, I’d be happy to support it and intend to support it."

So in Mitch McConnell's America if you work for a Christian Scientist who doesn't believe in blood transfusions then tough shit dude he can deny covering it. If you're working for a Scientologist who believes Lithium and any other drug designed to treat depression or psychotic mental problems are not effective because of his "serious moral concerns" boom you just lost healthcare coverage for those drugs.

President Obama's defense of woman's rights to healthcare and his incredibly crafty manuever is exposing us to the True Horror of Conservatism. The Right has fully embraced Totalitarianism and Religious Dictatorship.

We are in the age of Dominionism. Wherein the Totalitarian Right and their zealous Christian Fascists have decided to regain control of the Government through Terrorism and Religion.

Conservatives assassinate Doctors, Republicans push through legislation to deny Americans medical care, Totalitarian Right-Wingers redefine rape to punish victims and abolish basic human rights.

It's because the Right sees their control slipping. As soon as this Nation starts treating American as individuals and provides them Positive Liberties and Positive Rights the Totalitarian Republicans will be in danger of losing their power and ability to defend the 1% who use these social issues to divide and conquer.

There's No Sex in Rick Santorum's Military

There's No Sex in the Champagne Room - Chris Rock

Half of the military's ad campaign is set up to convince the young recruit that he's going to be a bad ass ninja kicking down doors and taking out Osama Bin Laden, except when George W. Bush is stopping US from killing Bin Laden. The other half implicitly states Mila Kunis will attend the Marine Corps Ball with you.

The Totalitarian Right which has been fighting the War on Sex for decades has decided to drop all pretenses they cared about protecting Americans, jobs, the economy or rising debt and refocus on the only thing they do care about, making sure they control when, where and with whom you have sex and punishing dirty, dirty women who have sex outside Right-Wing Authoritarian control.

Of course, Totalitarian Republicans, know as much about real war as they do about fornicating and leading the charge on the Right-Wing War on Sex is Sick Rantorum.

His most recent interview shows the only peek into military life he's done is watching Ronnie Raygun movies:

“I meant exactly what I said,” the former Pennsylvania Dictator said. “When you have men and women together in combat, I think there’s — men have the emotions when you see a woman in harm’s way. I think it’s something that’s natural, that’s very much in our culture to be protective.”

“Some people might listen to that quote and think you meant you were concerned about women being emotional,” NBC's Ann Curry noted.

“Oh, no,” Sick Rantorum replied. “No, the issue is — and certainly one that has been talked about for a long, long time — is how men would react to seeing women in harm’s way, potentially being injured or in a vulnerable position, and not being concerned about accomplishing the mission.”

Now compare Sick Rantorum's "concerns" with a scene from G.I. Jane,

"You know, the Israelis ... they tried women in the 1967 War. Female soldiers. It seems the men couldn't get used to the sight of women blown open and their viscera hanging from tree limbs. Israeli men would linger over wounded females -- often to the detriment of the mission, often endangering their own lives."

Of course, when President Santorum takes over as C-in-C every future military recruit should be aware of his positions, "I would say, any type of sexual activity has absolutely no place in the military."

So yea, no more dates with Mila Kunis or Justin Timberlake for you Jarhead. Ooh-Rah...

White House deftly outflanks Catholic Outrage and Totalitarian Republican Bigots

In a fantastic maneuver, the White House has altered its stance to allow for Catholic Objections.

"All women will still have access to free preventive care that includes contraceptive services," one White House official said. "The insurance company will be required to reach out directly and offer her contraceptive coverage free of charge," if the employer objects to providing that coverage in its benefit package.

Now, of course, if the issue actually was about the Catholic (or any Religious) Conscience exemption this solution would solve the problem. But, everyone knows this was nothing more than a cheap cynical ploy by Totalitarian Right-Wing Bigots to use religion to attack Obama and to punish those immodest brazen hussies who don't keep their legs closed.

Anthony Picarello, general counsel for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, indicated the compromise won't assuage his or the USCCB religious feelings because somewhere... somehow... a strumpet is having sex for pleasure instead of unceasing baby-making and no Catholic Dollars anywhere can be used,

That means removing the provision from the health care law altogether, he said, not simply changing it for Catholic employers and their insurers. He cited the problem that would create for "good Catholic business people who can't in good conscience cooperate with this."

This has been brewing amongst the Religious Anti-Woman Zealots for years. From a July 2010 article by Dana Goldstein, The Coming Birth Control Battle: "I don't want to overstate or understate our level of concern," said McQuade, the Catholic bishops' spokesperson. "We consider [birth control] an elective drug. Married women can practice periodic abstinence. Other women can abstain altogether. Not having sex doesn't make you sick."

This whole issue is about controlling and punishing sex. The Totalitarian Right thinks the only job of Big Government is to stop you from having sex or to punish you if you do. As I proved back in May 2011, with the post Conservatives Celebrate Rape,

You see Republican men know about Rape and know it's only Rape when it's forcible.

Christopher Smith was the Republican chosen to sponsor the forcible rape provision. What exactly constitutes force was never described and the Republicans faced opposition to their outrageous evil 'forcing' them to back down, Smith declared the forcible rape language would be removed. But, Republicans are slimy liars and when they passed the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Bill (HR 3) on May 9th, the bill achieved a similar goal as the redefinition of rape by using the power of the IRS, the threat of audits and byzantine Medicare rules to ensure women are punished for being raped and impoverished or incarcerated for having an abortion.

Because if you are raped Republicans and Conservatives believe it's the woman's fault. Faux News will immediately go on air to declare it's definitely your fault because you dared show your 'filthy lust-ridden body' in public without a burqa.

Rebecca St. James' and Sean Hannity had a gay old time blaming rape victims during his segment on "Slutwalks", when she stated women,

"are asking for sex. They’re asking for sex if they’re dressed immodestly.” And, “There has to be responsibility, though, for what a woman is wearing, personal responsibility.”

Conservatives and Republicans then love to have a token representative, whose power and position are tied to the Patriarchy, carry the banner of the Right's Repression and Dogmatic Misogynism as Kirsten Powers did in further blaming rape victims for being raped. I point Sean Hannity, Kirsten Powers and Rebecca St. James to the Illinois Complied Statutes:

(720 ILCS 5/12‑17):
The manner of dress of the victim at the time of the offense shall not constitute consent.

Because the Republican Party is the American Taliban comprised completely of Totalitarian Bigots who hate freedom and individualism. This manuever neatly shows the objections from Republicans is nothing more than a sham.
