Big Night? and Catholics in an Uproar

Hannity tonight was great! Tuned in late, but caught the end of a segment with a young priest who is often on Fox and he was talking about the flack over the Obamacare mandate that Catholic hospitals provide free contraception coverage, including the very controversial morning after pill. The Obama administration is refusing to grant the Catholic Church a waiver on this, and this whole issue is exploding as a freedom of religion issue. 

Also, a potential big night for Santorum. Could be a race changer. Very interesting.

  1. Agreed Ma...from my Morning Jolt:

    Robert George noticed, "The winner tonight is a Catholic conservative who's made ObamneyCare critique his KEY issue. And Obama has given him pure gold w/ HHS decision."

    "'Freedom . . . religious freedom . . . supply-side growth.' Great combo from Rick Santorum. Helluva night for him," raved Larry Kudlow.

    Perhaps Santorum's best line: "I'm not the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney. I'm the conservative alternative to Barack Obama."

    And from the MahaRushi:

    Limbaugh: The Real Target of Obama Birth Control Mandate Is the Constitution
    “It‘s not the government’s business to make any church or any religion ‘modernize’ …there is no permissible way the government can do this, according to our Constitution,” Rush Limbaugh said during his Tuesday radio broadcast.

    Limbaugh, who believes the real target of the Obama administrations contraceptives mandate is in fact, the U.S. Constitution, “pure and simple.”

    The Catholic Church, according to Limbaugh, “is just the latest springboard.”

    “But the Constitution doesn’t matter here, which is really what this is all about,” he added.

    “The Constitution doesn’t matter to the [Obama] regime. The regime is simply saying,’To hell with the Constitution. We’re gonna implement this regardless what the Constitution says!‘

  2. Hey Ma, remember this exchange in the early January Republican debate that we all found odd... I am guessing old Georgie knew something.

    STEPHANOPOULOS: Governor Romney, do you believe that states have the right to ban contraception? Or is that trumped by a constitutional right to privacy?

    ROMNEY: George, this is an unusual topic that you’re raising. States have a right to ban contraception? I can’t imagine a state banning contraception. I can’t imagine the circumstances where a state would want to do so, and if I were a governor of a state or...

    Remember how it went on for a while...
