March 26, 2012 - PPM - Miss Conception
This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about the media's promotion of the Contraceptive Issue.
The problem is that the MEDIA is MAKING Contraceptives an issue. In reality, the REAL issue is about government intrusion in our lives, religious freedom, and liberal agendas.
The US Supreme Court is hearing arguments about the constitutionality of the overall Obama-care this week. The birth control issue is a small piece of the larger picture.
My REAL PEEVE is that contraception is really a "bait and switch" issue. It is only meant to distract and confuse people. The real issue should be the economy, unemployment and gas prices. Instead, the pols, Dems, and Main Stream Media (MSM) want you to focus on contraceptives. They want to use it a divisive wedge: the GOP NOW hates women, as well as old people and blacks.
Obama tried to distract people by saying a few weeks ago that "we" had reached an accommodation by moving the cost of the contraceptive from employee to employer. But IT IS NOT ABOUT COST AND WHO PAYS.
It's about government infringement on individual rights and religious freedom.
Finally, it was transparent and disingenuous that the Dems would trot out a 30 year old law student and activist to present their case. Sure, Rush Limbaugh went overboard with his name-calling, but the facts remain. It goes against the very reason our Founders came to this country: Religious Freedom.
At the end of the day, 71% of voters are against Obama-care. The actual costs are now double the original estimates. If it is upheld by the SCOTUS, the Dems will face an incredible backlash come November.
