Obama’s Catholic Church Gambit: Lessons from American Communists – Wed. Feb. 22, 2012 from prolifenewss@yayoo.com – Reply to prolifenews-owner@yahoogroups.com

A fascinating theory has been advanced by Dick Morris, which, in turn, is being considered by Rush Limbaugh and other leading conservatives. [Not only by conservatives but by all Americans:]

Morris speculates that the Obama HHS mandate on contraception, sterilization, and abortifacients is a fight with the Catholic Church that Team Obama wants – and with the focused based narrowly on contraception, not abortifacients.

Dick Morris may be right. It seems no accident that Obama publicly noted that the vast majority of Catholic women use contraception. Yes, the vast majority does, but the vast majority does not support abortifacients – that is, “contraceptive” drugs that cause or induce an abortion.

Obama is underscoring “contraception” generally, not abortifacients specifically.

Sadly, our superficial media, which reflexively ramrods everything into a 10-second sound-bite, is aiding and abetting his tactic. Again and again, I hear reporters refer to Obama’s mandate not as a mandate on “contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs” (which it is), but as simply one on “contraception.”

If Obama can successfully frame the debate that way, which should be easy with the American public, he can make great headway on this assault on the Roman Catholic Church. He will appeal to much appeal to many apathetic Roman Catholics as well as many Protestants who disagree with the Catholic Church on contraception.

Among non-evangelical Protestants, Obama will find lots of sympathy from the liberal mainline denominations that flew off the hinges decades ago, and some of which are members of the hideous Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice. Their split with Rome over matters of birth has roots in the Episcopal Church’s embrace of contraception a century ago.

Speaking of a century ago, if this is indeed a gambit by Obama to pit religious believers against the Catholic Church, it would be nothing new from the radical left. Consider some examples. In my book, Dupes, I shared the case of Anna Louise Strong. Strong was an editor to the flagship publication of the communist from “Friends of the Soviet Union,” which masterfully manipulated progressive like Upton Sinclair.

We published a photo of Strong and Sinclair together on the “Friends” editorial page, where a stoic Sinclair vows to “expose the lies and slander” against poor old Joe Stalin – maligned by those mean American anticommunists…
