Thank you, Mr. President

Obama has apparently dug his heels in on religious freedom. Despite being hailed as a usurper of First Amendment rights, the president has declared, essentially, that the debate over requiring religiously affiliated organizations to provide coverage for contraceptives has ended, and that the Catholic Church needs to suck it up.

This decision couldn't have come at a better time. This will rejuvenate the Republicans, and especially provide support for Rick Santorum's strong socially conservative positions on the right to life, marriage, and religious freedom. Governor Rick Perry was right when he said that President Obama had declared war on religious freedom. And here we are, facing war over this health care provision. Great timing for conservative Constitutionalists who aren't afraid of the fight.
