DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP: Religious Convictions are NOT Welcome in the Public Marketplace

by Lawrence Fox

“Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb but he spoke like a dragon…He also forced everyone small and great, rich and poor, free and slave to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that NO ONE COULD BUY OR SELL unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast.” (Revelation 13: 11-17)

Mark of the Beast allows you to engage
in commerce

For centuries, some Protestants fantasied that the “Beast” of Revelation is the Bishop of Rome, and the Catholic Church is the “Whore of Babylon.”

It is poetic justice that among the leading candidates for the “Beast” and the “Whore” today is the U.S. Federal Government presently under the lawless leadership of the Democratic Party.

Democratic leaders mounted a tirade against the U.S. Supreme Court decision that allowed the Christian company Hobby Lobby the religious freedom NOT to offer its employees abortion-causing drugs and devices. Democrats’ outrage rivals that of the hubris that created the Tower of Babel. “Let us make a name for ourselves before we are scattered abroad into all the lands.” (Genesis 11:4)

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-NY

 “If you want to enter in the public square of business, you must abandon your religious convictions,” U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, (D-NY) articulated the Democrat Party’s position with resounding emphasis and shocking clarity. Translated, “If you want to buy or sell or conduct commerce, you must be marked by the beast.” In other words, abandon all your religious convictions if you wish to make a living.  Former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said the same thing: Religious convictions are not welcome in the Public Square.

 “You’re born with a religion or you adopt a religion. You have to obey the precepts of that religion and the government gives you a wide penumbra – you don’t have to form a corporation,” Schumer added, “We wouldn’t tell the owners of Hobby Lobby to convert to a different religion or disobey their religion – but we don’t say that they have to open up a company and go sell toys or hobby kits.”

The senator’s remarks epitomize the complete re-writing of the First Amendment, which guarantees all Americans the right to religious liberty.  This is not surprising since the Democratic Party for the past century has copulated with post-modernist progressives, Marxists, Atheists, Anarchists, Historical Revisionists, Margaret Sanger psychopaths, and Gender Study Professors.

When the psychotic  “Unaffordable Care Act” passed, it created a conundrum for NARAL (The Nation Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League) and Planned Parenthood. They were no longer paid for services directly by the consumer, but by an insurance company that would control their profits.  Democratic Leadership did not understand this, and they blamed Hobby Lobby, or those “horrible bosses with religious convictions.”

Make no mistake; this has nothing to do with the needs of women, but everything to do with the incestuous relationship between the Democratic Party, NARAL, and Planned Parenthood. The federal government gives money to NARAL and Planned Parenthood, which in turn donate it back to the Democratic Party at the expense of the beleaguered American Tax Payer.

The psychotic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, and one time Majority Speaker of the House giggled, “We have to pass the (Obama “Care”) bill before anyone can know what is in the bill.”

The 5-4 Supreme Court decision Burwell v Hobby Lobby was absolutely correct. Individuals do not lose their religious freedom when they open a family business. The Federal Government cannot arbitrarily re-define the scope of the First Amendment to mean, “The free exercise of religion shall be limited to a person’s private life.” That’s relativism on steroids.

It is self-evident that men are endowed by their Creator with the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The self-evident right to pursue happiness engenders the right to private property and the right to conduct commerce to support oneself and one’s family. The man or woman of faith who choses to enter the market place with tangible hope and prosperity has a fundamental right to do so in the United States contrary to the defecation spewed by the socialist gang-banger in charge of the White House.

Americans, who don’t believe that, have lost their collective minds. The Subjective Will has replaced the Objective Good of the One and the Many. But the Democratic Party and the Mainstream Press continue to foam and froth over “woman’s access to contraception and abortion causing drugs.”

Abortion and Contraception are the
Sacred Cow of Progressivism

The Hobby Lobby “Boss” stated that he would participate in a MANDATED health care plan that paid for contraception, but not for abortion causing drugs. This is anathema to the Democratic Leadership, NARAL and Planned Parenthood. Abortion, including contraception, is the sacred cow of the Democrat Party.

The Democratic Party platform conveys in principle that a woman achieves equality with men when she is able to receive un-restricted access to drugs or procedures, which make her sterile either temporarily or permanently. Think about that for a moment. Women only achieve equality with men when actively making themselves sterile.

And we wonder why the moral compass in America has precipitously declined to the point where the Federal Government now tells the self-sterile woman and man, “Your marriage is no different under the eyes of the law than two men or two women sodomizing each other.”

While men have managed to convince women that they have ceased active dominion over them, they continue to hold passive dominion via chemical sterilization. But women don’t see this. They think men are supporting their “freedom.”

American women buy this lie every day thanks in part to the support of some Protestants who fantasied for centuries that the “Beast” of Revelation is the Bishop of Rome, while the Catholic Church is the “Whore of Babylon.”
