The Right's fake "War on Religion"

Serial pathological liar and Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney has a new commercial out claiming that President Obama has a new war on religion because of the Affordable Care Act.  Romney claims a few things--one is it is an attack on religious organizations (in this case Catholicism) and that it was Pope John Paul II that should get credit for the fall of communism.

First, the United States and Western Europe spent billions if not trillions on an economic war of destruction against the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc communist countries.  So, I think all the veterans who served and died in Korea and Vietnam have been disrespected.  And all those Vets who survived are also disrespected.  But, also, Romney cuts the conservative narrative that Saint Ronald Reagan single handedly defeated the evil Russians.  Boy, Romney takes pandering to a new low.

The second and bigger lie is Romney's war on religion shtick.  Which rightwing alleged "Christian" nuts seem to flock to this term like moths to lights.  The ACA ensures that if a religious institution owns and runs a secular business, they cannot discriminate against you because of your religion or lack thereof.  So, basically Romney and his nutter base want to legalize discrimination (that is true) and use the "War on Religion" canard as a distraction.

You would think Romney's alleged "Christian base" would automatically not vote for him because he is a Mormon and already in the league with the devil.  Yet, it shows you his supporters mentality.  One, either they really are hateful racists and/or stupid (I think both myself) and two they are not Christians at all, but supporters of Lucifer--but they will shout at the top of their lungs how "THEY ARE SAVED" and "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL!"  And, to me, we are already in a hell which these rightwing nutters created.  I think about how much better the planet would be if they disappeared overnight.  But, I digress.  When I hear these same rightwing nutcases screaming this crap, it makes me think--if by "YOU" they mean themselves, they are probably correct, there is a good possibility they will go to hell.
