Okay.... WTH?!? These pro-lifers were outside of the White House on their knees praying in protest against the HHS mandate. According to the Constitution as citizens we have a right to peacefully assemble. I guess not under this despot of a president. Because he treats the Constitution as if it were a piece of trash. His actions have shown that he has utterly no respect for the Constitution. In fact Obama treats our Constitution with disdain and with every action he's shown he wants to undo all our Founders fought for. So yes, I will call anyone who wants to "transform" America to undo our Founders' vision an anti-American jacktard. And that includes our Liar-in-Chief, the King of all Anti-American jacktards. He and his ilk believe government should have all autonomy over our lives. Obama and his minions are not for either the individual or for groups since you cannot be for one and not the other. They are inextricably linked. They are for having power and control over our lives. And stupid progressive ordinary Joes are handing it to them on a silver platter. They would rather be told what they can and can't do by the government instead of choosing for themselves. Progressives are against choice.
Our Founders fought against a persecutorial King in Great Britain to make sure every individual would not be tread on, recognizing that individuals are granted certain rights by our Creator. With the HHS mandate in place Obama should be known as the new persecutorial King, one who doesn't give a crap about peoples' rights or consciences especially if they disagree with him. He says to hell with your conscience. He doesn't respect differences of opinion. The Left only wants those on the Right to respect their opinions which differ with ours but disrespect us with unfounded accusations, accusing us of being racists, hating women, not caring about the poor, when in fact they fabricate a war on women, the race hustlers take advantage of minorities all for political and personal advancement. The truth is liberals are the ones who promote the abject killing of innocents, both females and males babies in the womb. Progressives have started the war on our constitutional rights, more recently specifically have waged a war on our right to religious liberty, our right to follow our consciences at our jobs, schools, et al. They can shove their immoral crap all over the place propagandizing kids and whoever else with hurtful stuff encouraging kids to challenge their parents to go behind their parents backs to disobey their teachings on various issues, advocating the undermining of the parental duty as mothers and fathers and that's considered A-Okay. Hell NO!!! We need to take a stand for the children. Stop corrupting our children!!! Stop violating our constitutional rights!! No more Mr. or Mrs. Nice Guy. We need to take a stand for the future of our country. We are called to be civilly disobedient when injustices are involved. Progressives and in particular the Obama administration have perpetrated multiple grievous injustices upon this nation and our citizens and we are called to stand up and say hell no we won't take this anymore and even go to jail for our beliefs. We need to fill the jails across the nation and let these corrupt tyrants across the U.S. know that we mean business and we aren't going to let the Obamanation of America to continue. Well, that was my rant... here's the story on what happened.
Dozens of people have already been arrested over the weekend for kneeling and praying in front of the White House.
ActsFive29, a group of like-minded, pro-life defenders launched the D.C. prayer rally knowing their members could indeed be arrested, but asserting it’s worth it, because, “The future of religious freedom in America is at risk.”
The group claims Acts 5:29 – “But Peter and the Apostles answered, ‘We must obey God rather than men’” – as their basis for protesting the Obama administration’s Health and Human Services mandate requiring employer-provided health insurance cover birth control measures.
“Obamacare will force institutions, churches and individuals to purchase abortion-inducing drugs and pay for sterilization and abortion in direct opposition to their beliefs, conscience and historic teachings of the Church,” says the group. “With the recent Supreme Court ruling affirming Obamacare, the future of religious freedom in America is at risk and in grave danger of being entirely wiped out.”
On Saturday afternoon, 22 members of the group knelt on the sidewalk in prayer and were arrested by Capitol Police, with the prayer rally (and possible arrests) planned to continue through Oct. 2.
The group says that the only basis for their arrest is that the sidewalk in front of the White House is a “restricted zone” for free speech.
Father Frank Pavone of Priests for Life told WND, “We have stood up for life and religious freedom in hundreds of cities. Today we do so at the president’s house. I am delighted to be here.”
The group says that the president is “dictating to Christians how they should live their faith” and that they are taking a stand, while risking arrest for doing so.
Bryan Kemper, director of youth outreach at Priests for Life, told WND that he was arrested on Saturday afternoon for kneeling on the sidewalk near the White House while holding a sign that said, “Stand Up for Religious Freedom.”
“I am here today as a father of seven children who is willing to lose my freedom to protect my children’s future freedom,” he told WND. “I was arrested yesterday when I knelt and prayed holding a sign for religious freedom, and I will kneel and pray again today, risking arrest again.”
He told WND that this issue is vital for all American’s to understand.
“We must take this stand now, or we will have no freedom to do so tomorrow,” he said. “I will obey God rather than man.”
He finished, “The HHS mandate violates God’s law and forces us to sin, and I will not comply.”
Brandi Swindell, National Director of Generation Life, a pro-life group dedicated to mobilizing activists, students, artists, musicians and young professionals to end abortion and spread the message of sexual integrity, told WND that she had a “divine appointment” in Washington today.
“Three of us chose to attend church at St. John’s this morning,” Swindell said, “and at the last minute found out that Kathleen Sebelius, the architect of the HHS Mandate was holding an adult forum between services.”
Swindell told WND that she got the secretary’s attention, and in front of a packed auditorium asked her, “Why are you forcing the American people to pay for abortion-inducing drugs that harm women? It’s a severe violation of religious freedom.”
The secretary ignored the question and left the stage.
Video of the exchange, and the critical reaction of other church attendees, can be seen below:
Swindell told WND that just four years ago she was arrested and deported from communist China for standing up for religious freedom there.
“I stood in Tiananmen Square holding a banner that said, ‘Jesus Christ is King’ and was arrested,” Swindell said. “I never imagined that just four years later I’d be standing in front of the White House risking the very same thing.”
She told WND that she intended to hold the same banner declaring “Jesus Christ is King” in front of the White House Sunday afternoon, and fully expected to be arrested for it.
Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, says of the Stand Up for Religious Freedom rally, being held across the street from the White House, “For the faith community, we can never be silent or indifferent when it comes to matters of justice, human rights and religious freedom.”
