After I wrote that our Constitution promoted a meritocracy, Mr. Rollins replied that he couldn”t find that in the Constitution.
It isn”t written there; the Constitution restricts government, not people.
Under our Constitution we can fly as high as our wings will take us. That has produced a meritocracy, the greatest country in the history of the world.
Nevertheless, President Obama is slick in gaining control of our lives. For example, last week he practically outfoxed the Catholic Church, an organization devoted to goodness, mercy and kindness began by Peter for Jesus 2,000 years ago.
Catholic hospitals refused to perform abortions ? murder, to them ? even abortions with a pill. Obama”s administration announced that it would, too, give abortion pills.
He then outsmarted the Catholics by accommodating them. Those abortions and birth control will be diverted to insurance companies. That means Catholics will still help perform abortions since they pay insurance, too.
Obama”s Jack Lew, on Sunday television, slickly glided “abortion” to “women”s health” and “contraception.” He argued that these procedures won”t cost insurance companies more money, but doggedly avoided answering why: Dead babies require no insurance expenses; live ones do. Obamacare is the gift that keeps on giving.
This is just part of the total power grab by Obama.
