Religious freedom only goes one way apparently....

Feds say Arapaho can kill bald eagles

Dateline Cheyenne, Wyo. - Though it's no longer on the endangered species list, federal law still prohibits the killing of our national bird, the bald eagle, in almost all cases. Yet, apparently citing the recognition of religious freedoms, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has granted a permit to an American Indian tribe so it can kill two bald eagles for religious purposes. Heaven forbid, the tribal members' religious freedom should be violated, right?

Yet this same federal government wants to ignore this same concept of religious freedom and force Catholic hospitals and other faith-based organizations offering health care services and/or insurance to offer contraceptives and abortion services even though such things go against their religious principles and the tenants of their faith to do. Yet the federal government and its puppets in the media are all about allowing for that!

Excuse me, but this is hypocrisy at its most blatant and subjective application of the Constitutional freedom of religion as provided in the First Amendment.

Let the record show, I'm neither American Indian nor Catholic.However, I am a strong advocate of "fair and equal justice under the law." And to watch our government allow politically-correct groups special dispensation - even once - while at the very same time zealously and forcibly denying the same religious freedoms it claims to honor to Christian faith-based organizations like Catholic hospitals, is galling. Nay, it's frightening.
