How Can Obamacare Be A Threat To Religious Freedom?

How could that be possible? How can a church respect the US Constitution and yet disagree with the Republican Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun who in 1973, authored the Court's opinion in Roe v. Wade, invalidating a Texas statute making it a felony to administer an abortion in most circumstances. The Court's judgment in the companion case of Doe v. Bolton held a less restrictive Georgia law to be unconstitutional also. Both decisions were based on the right to privacy announced in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) and remain the primary basis for the constitutional right to abortion in the United States. Roe caused an immediate uproar, and Blackmun's opinion made him a target for criticism by opponents of abortion, receiving voluminous negative mail and death threats over the case. Blackmun was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Richard M. Nixon on April 14, 1970, and was confirmed by the Senate on May 12, 1970, by a 94–0 vote What party does the Catholic Church endorse today and WHY? I ask you all to stop being Sheeples, learn about the REAL facts and use your own mind and pray for proper guidance. I too am against Abortion but I also believe that the government stay out of dictating to any religion. I would also be against any religion dictating to anyone's health care and heath care rights! I don't like that an employer feels they have a right to dictate to the personal issues and decisions of an employee. There are laws that provide for employees following employer's codes of ethics so use them to weed out an employee you feel breaks those codes! I once worked for a county agency with strict ethical laws to abide by, like anonymity of the clients. If I broke that rule I could be fired.

Our New Home In The Community Of Lake Wynonah, PA

On March 20, 2013, the first day of Spring I settled on the purchase of my latest and final home.
Here is a brief slide show of that day

Here is a slide of some of the improvements we have made since March.

Facebook Degrading Memes, Where Is The Don't Like Icon?

Another demeaning Facebook Meme circulating to defame our current President and using the founding fathers as though they were saints!

I did not "like" and to which I replied:

How about the fact that the founder thought it was okay to own humans as slaves! Not a loser, but a sin and a shame...not what Christ would do either! We have been handed down propaganda and indoctrinated since Kindergarten! Every single President and elected official has been singled out and blamed for the ills of a greedy society! 

It is as if we elect them to use them as scape goats for our own short comings and complacency.  Perhaps it is time for Americans to take responsibility for what goes on in their own households and stop blaming those who step up to lead in government!

Helping People Who Have Oil

I find this meme hilarious. I have also noticed that many of those who have posted this on Facebook have previously posted memes condemning the President as a Socialist who wants to give money to the poor to help them. I know one thing for sure if one wants to be popular one should never run for President! Every single President is belittled and condemned while in office. I am sure that it is Oil that truly runs our country, the children of countries who have it will have our military help and the children of those who don't like Darfur will suffer daily for years and years without end.

The Difference Between Libel and Free Speech

Libel Per Se:

When libel is clear on its face, without the need for any explanatory matter, it is called libel per se. The following are often found to be libelous per se:
A statement that falsely:

• Charges any person with crime, or with having been indicted, convicted, or punished for crime;
• Imputes in him the present existence of an infectious, contagious, or loathsome disease;
• Tends directly to injure him in respect to his office, profession, trade or business, either by imputing to him general disqualification in those respects that the office or other occupation peculiarly requires, or by imputing something with reference to his office, profession, trade, or business that has a natural tendency to lessen its profits
• Imputes to him impotence or a want of chastity.

Free Speech:

 Freedom of speech is the political right to communicate one's opinions and ideas using one's body and property to anyone who is willing to receive them. The term freedom of expression is sometimes used synonymously, but includes any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used. In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute in any country and the right is commonly subject to limitations, as with libel, slander, obscenity, sedition (including, for example inciting ethnic hatred), copyright violation, revelation of information that is classified or otherwise.

Why I Haven't Posted In Awhile

This is why I haven't posted in awhile: 

I bought a new home in a lovely gated lake community. It required some slight rehab work, mostly paint, and then the move after living in the same home for ten years. We have been extremely busy, and still so much to do. We aren't even completely out of the old home yet. We still have the entire lower level to rehab, both bathrooms, the deck, shed, and yard. I purchased the necessary components to create a water garden, and my daughter is going to help create it with my direction. Hope you enjoy looking at this photo slide of the transformation of some of the rooms.
