Reuters: Obamacare Rescue Ruled Out By Some States, Others Weigh Options
Five Republican state governors say they will not rescue a crucial part of Obamacare if it is struck down by the Supreme Court, underlining the prospect for a chaotic aftermath to a ruling that could force millions of Americans to pay much more for coverage or lose their health insurance. … In its ruling expected by June, the high court could bar the federally run insurance marketplace from providing the subsidies in at least 34 states. That could throw the insurance system into turmoil as states respond in starkly different ways. In response to Reuters\’ queries, spokespeople for the Republican governors of Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, South Carolina and Wisconsin said the states were not willing to create a local exchange to keep subsidies flowing.

Mohammad Abdullah Saleem, the Illinois imam (police mug shot)

The liberal media generally ignore sex scandals unless they involve a Republican politician or a Catholic priest, so maybe you didn’t hear about Mohammad Abdullah Saleem, the Illinois imam who allegedly perpetrated \”decades of assault and child sex abuse . . . within the community of Indian and Pakistani Muslim immigrants.\”

Does this reveal a \”war on women\”? Is there a \”rape culture\” among Muslims? Of course not! Saleem is not a Catholic priest or a Republican politician — he’s not even a college fraternity member — and therefore his alleged perversion is entirely random.

The same is true of Tony Jones, a leader of the \”Emergent Church\” movement that embraces postmodern progressivism: \”In 2010 Jones encouraged Minnesota clergy to stop performing legal marriages, as a show of solidarity with LGBT people who could not be legally married in the state at that time.\” This heretical theology appears to be a sort of hipster universalism, salt that has lost its savor (Matthew 5:13) and has become \”conformed to this world\” (Romans 12:2).

Tony Jones became a progressive religious celebrity, touring like a rock star on the \”emergent\” speaking circuit while his marriage was falling apart. If we are to believe the allegations of his ex-wife, Julie McMahon, Tony Jones developed a pornography habit and \”starting in 2007, Mr. Jones began asking her repeatedly for sexual behaviors she found repellent, including anal sex.\” Of course, this is the progressive gospel of \”emergent\” theology: \”Thou shalt watch porn and do it in the butt.\”
