ALERT: Obama Announces What He’ll Force Christians Across America to Do
President Barack Obama has shown time and again that he cares not for the cultural or religious traditions of a majority of Americans, what with his “fundamental transformation” and all, and isn’t above using the force of government to change those traditions.
Take for example an executive order he issued last year that amended an order from former President Lyndon Johnson dealing with non-discrimination practices by federal contractors to include protections for “sexual orientation and gender identity.”
Obama has been preparing to broaden that order to cover not just those who receive federal contracts, but all who receive federal grants as well, even if the grant recipient is a faith-based organization.
There are approximately 50 grant recipients for every one federal contractor, so this order has a broad sweep.
Essentially, Obama intends to force faith-based organizations that receive federal grant money to accept applications from members of the LGBT community, despite their possible moral and religious objections.
As was noted by Breitbart, former President George W. Bush added his own amendment to the order originally passed by Johnson, providing a religious exemption so faith-based groups would not be forced to hire individuals opposed to their teachings, beliefs and practices.
Sources inside the administration are saying that the Obama White House is putting immense pressure on all governmental agencies to change their policies regarding grant recipients to reflect Obama’s changes, without an additional executive order and in spite of any hesitancy or objections.
This move by Obama has caught most of the faith-based community off guard and unprepared to counter it. It should be noted that the Catholic church and numerous Catholic institutions could be hit hard by this policy change and could soon be forced to hire individuals with whom they stand diametrically opposed on some issues, or risk losing federal grant money.
This is little more than a carrot and stick provided by the Obama administration as Obama tries yet again to force religious institutions to disregard their faith and teachings and accept and condone behavior they consider wrong.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if you feel what Obama is doing to faith-based religious organizations that receive federal grants is wrong.
