House Dems press to restrict religious freedom … again

In a maneuver that would essentially keep faith-based contractors in the United States Armed Forces from doing their jobs while protecting their religious freedom, House Democrats moved again to forward a bill on Thursday that would turn a faith-debilitating executive order decreed by President Barack Obama back in 2014 into law.

It is contended that the Democrats’ measure was devised intended to make it impossible for faith-based military contractors to exercise their religious liberty while performing their duties at work.

Repeat offenders

This is not the first time Leftists in the U.S. House of Representatives have pushed legislation that attacks the religious freedom of those who serve the U.S. military.

“After failing to stop Republicans from adding a provision to do just that in the National Defense Authorization Act, they have now tried twice to use ‘policy riders’ in budget bills to ‘defund’ that measure,” Charisma New reports. “Their latest attempt came Thursday morning, when they attached the rider to the controversial water and energy appropriations bill.”

Following suit with the commander-in-chief’s military policies that make it difficult for those serving their country to live their lives according to their sincerely held religious beliefs — such as his repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” — the latest bill would put in place policies that would ultimately handcuff contractors with a religious calling in their line of work.

“President Obama was adamant that he would veto the legislation because it included a Republican rider to curtail his administration’s ability to enforce its ‘Waters of the U.S.’ regulations,” the report continued. “It was expected to pass the House, where Republicans had pledged to pressure their Senate colleagues to keep the measure through the reconciliation process.”
