The U.S. Catholic Church Tells Jesus To Take His Teachings And Fuck Off.
Did you know that, whether you are Catholic or not, every single American taxpayer gives money to the Catholic Church? How's that for the separation of church and state?
I'm going to be talking a bit about Obama's contraception mandate here, so if you don't know about it, I suggest you go look it up. In essence, Obamacare forces employers to offer free birth control to their employees, which created a bit of a holy storm when Catholic organizations (who are notorious for being anti-contraception) realized that this included them. The president compromised, putting the responsibility on the insurance companies and not the religious institutions, and a majority of Catholic higher-ups liked his new plan. But not everyone.

Nightmarish Scenario: Day One Under President Romney.
I want to take a little time to specifically talk about Mitt Romney. The very definition of a vulture capitalist, Mitt Romney doesn't appear to be as ridiculous as Santorum, Gingrich, Paul, or any of the other Republicans he beat out in the primaries. But that's only at first glance.
Romney is just as much of an air head as the rest of them. Many have called him the professional flip-flopper, while others have deemed him a liberal in disguise. I have to tell ya, guys, if Romney is a liberal, than I must be some kind of radical socialist.
While his religion is off the table in terms of mocking the man himself, I want to get something quickly out of the way: I think Mormonism is one of the most ridiculous excuses for a religion that the Earth has every seen. It's right up there with Scientology and Pastafarianism (the latter, of course, being a "mock religion"). In essence, I believe Mormonism to be a farce. Tolerance be damned.
There are three things about Romney I want to share, and none of them are personal. They are, in fact, policy based. While it is six months from the election and policy can change (I honestly don't believe he'll even be elected), here is where Romney stands on the Keystone XL Pipeline, Obamacare, and the national budget.
