Obama's War On the Christian Faith in America Begins
2013-06-27
President Obama, in his statement hailing the Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, promised that he wouldn't try to force religious institutions to conduct gay marriages.

"On an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation's commitment to religious freedom is also vital," Obama said. "How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. Nothing about this decision -- which applies only to civil marriages -- changes that."

Here's guessing that the Roman Catholics and other religious groups that are in the midst of fighting the contraception mandate are skeptical of that pledge.
The left's sadistic messiah always sets up his target by starting out saying he is not going to target his target.

Federal Police of Socialist Germany - Gestapo

Göring himself took over the Gestapo in 1934 and urged Hitler to extend the agency's authority throughout Germany. This represented a radical departure from German tradition, which held that law enforcement was (mostly) a Land (state) and local matter.

Göring, concerned that Diels was not ruthless enough to use the Gestapo effectively to counteract the power of the Sturmabteilung (SA), handed over its control to Himmler on 20 April 1934. Also on that date, Hitler appointed Himmler chief of all German police outside Prussia.

...the Gestapo was expanded to around 46,000 members. After Heydrich's death in June 1942, and as the war progressed, Müller's power and the independence grew substantially. This trickled down the chain of his subordinates. It led to much more independence of action.

(Some of the departments of the national socialist partypolice, Gestapo that dealt with ideologies that were an afront to the socialist ideology)

Department B (Sects and Churches)[edit]
Catholics (B1)
Protestants (B2)
Freemasons (B3)
Jews (B4)

Department C (Administration and Party Affairs)
The central administrative office of the Gestapo, responsible for card files of all personnel including all officials.

#5  This is not the beginning of the Obama war against Christianity. That war started with Obama's stand against the Illinois "born alive" act. Obamacare is a major threat to any Christian org that doesn't want to perform or fund abortions.

#2  IIRC see also FREEREPUBLIC > IRS MAY REVOKE NON-PROFIT STATUS FOR RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS OVER SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.

I wanted to say "We're all Anglicans/
Episcopalians now", but methinks "We're all [State-controlled] Russian Orthodox = Chinese Catholic Church now" is closer to the truth???

Under his breath he muttered "Yet".
