Obama kills bald eagles

[ViperOverLord]

The man that won't put his hand over his heart for the national anthem is now killing bald eagles to boot.

[TA1LGUNN3R]

And?

[Phatscotty]

I thought this was a joke. Yeah, Obama is letting an Indian tribe kill Bald Eagles, in the name of religious freedom.

[natty dread]

Make up your mind guys. Do you want religious freedom or not???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Why not create eagle farms since there's such a high demand for their feathers?

Natives aren't christian therefore they don't have a religion. DUR!

[Johnny Rockets]

Two. The tribe will kill two birds.

Of course they will subcontract the hunt out to Obama himself, who will rip out the birds throats with his teeth then piss on the corpses while burning and American flag after he wiped his ass with it. Right V.O.L. ????

Yeah he would be much more popular if he just killed indians like all the other great presidents.

They only want religious freedom for their own religious beliefs.

I think the bigger question is how you do you Obama supporters justify forcing one religion to go against there beliefs to do something as arbitrary as issue contraceptives while you allow the literal killing of the national bird (something already against the law) in the name of religious freedom. Come to grips with your own double standard before prosecuting this other alleged double standard.

Yea there's been a huge clamor like only not too much more than a century ago to avenge General Custer's death.

I am an Obama supporter and I do not believe that religious institutions should be forced to cover birth control if it is against their beliefs. I also do not have a problem with this tribe requesting approval to kill two birds to satisfy their religious rights provided it is not excessive and does not further endanger this species.

Now that I have satisfied your request, please explain to me your double standard. Why are you against this religious expression but for the other?

The thing is that no ' Religion ' is being forced to issue contraceptives in an arbitrary fashion , show me one instance of a church , temple or mosque that is being forced to do so. This has been pointed out to you several times , not least bt Tgd who is a practising catholic , hanging on to this right wing propoganda just makes you look an utter tool.

I can think of no reason why a religious institution should have to supply a contraceptive if it is against their tenets. That is black and white.

As for a religion based on killing a national protected bird, I think that's a gray area. There are competing principles.

And my point would be that Obama is stomping one religion while accommodating another religion.

So you're stating that Catholics do not have to offer health insurance plans that give contraceptive. Last I checked, they do and I'm pretty sure you're giving me some left wing propaganda.

They do not. President Obama gave the Catholic Church an exemption. We covered this in another thread already. The conservatives that continue to hang onto this issue are being dumb.

"Following complaints from Catholic bishops, who do not believe that Catholic schools and hospitals should have to provide these services to their employees, an exception was created for religious institutions whereby an employee of a religious institution that does not wish to provide reproductive health care can seek it directly from the insurance company at no additional cost"

It's still essentially a mandate. There is no thing as "free" or "no cost." They teach you that at college on day one. And Catholics still have to essentially be part of plans that offer contraceptives against their beliefs.

And I'd point out that Obama initially had the audacity to fully mandate against freedom of religion. And I don't want the government mandating that private companies have to give out contraceptive anyways. That's not a Constitutional power.

Kindoff off topic but amusing

The health insurance provided by my employer here in Georgia doese not cover any expenses related to STDs, nor do they cover contraceptives. They will however cover expenses related to pregnancy!

As I said previously, there was no question in my mind that as soon as Catholic leaders started throwing things at the president, he would except them out of this.

Yeah, it's a mandate for the insurance companies, not the religious institutions. And that's the problem with the law generally and the way conservatives SHOULD be attacking the law - the law requires people to pay for things for other people... that's absolutely unconstitutional (and no, it's not like taxes). What conservatives shouldn't be doing is pretending that the law is an affront to Catholicism when 90% of the conservatives commentating on this aren't Catholic and the law is NOT an affront to Catholicism anymore.

So, I continue to bang my head against this wall of conservative stupidity, for what seems like the 500th time. Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, et. al. can honestly suck a dick. Pull out some real arguments, not some made up bullshit.

They are showing their true colors on this one. AS if it's even remotely comparable.

Unfortunately, the double standard comes pre-programmed when you get one.

[BigBallinStalin]

Seriously, guys. Bald Eagle farms, FTW.

The Indians would pay some price to hunt them on some farmland/hunting ground for bald eagles.

I'm really not for hunting bald eagles. I think they're too pretty and dignified of birds and it makes about as much sense as hunting parrots. I'd be interested in hearing from hunters on their perspective (I'm not a hunter).

I guess you won't be paying to hunt for bald eagles in Bald Eagle Plantations Inc.

Yea. There's probably a guns/hunting double standard going on there too for a lot of people.

I will never understand you guys, and your motivations for posting like you do. You generalise all the time, you don't even try to make your arguments persuasive, you just take potshots at the 'opposition'. What are you trying to achieve? You dont win a debate, or an argument, by having the guys who held your position to begin with cheering on in the sidelines. I guess what I'm saying is, why try, when you don't even try? Is it because you can't try?
