...or I will make you.

K-Lo took the opportunity to point out the anti-choice, anti-freedom activities of the Obama administration happening under the authority of Obamacare.

But there’s another problem here. See, the other day Obama expressed her desire to “impact the nature of food in grocery stores” as part of her agenda to end childhood obesity in one generation.

Not only does she not seem to know that “impact” is a noun and not a verb, but she puts the lie to her own concern for protecting women’s ability to choose, while also affirming the notion that Dems think We the People “belong to the government.”

Think: the self-same individuals that Michelle Obama insists are “more than capable of making our own choices about our bodies and our health care” will be among those choosing which foods to put into their own mouths and their children’s mouths. Are food choices not related to “our bodies and our health care”? If they are, why the double standard? Either women are capable of choosing good foods for themselves and their children at the store, just as they are capable of making good decisions regarding abortion and contraception; or women cannot be trusted to make healthy decisions about the food they eat (among other decisions more, erm, visceral?) so we must limit the choices available.

Unless she wants to start arguing that abortion is *good* for women, like eating your vegetables and limiting portion sizes.

But she maintains at one and the same time: a) women should be able to choose abortion; b) women should not be able to choose foods with “too much” salt.

And she sees no problem with pushing both sides of that odd pair because she believes we all belong to the government.

If this election hinges on nothing else, it should hinge on the notion that one party thinks we all belong to the government (in any sense), versus the other party that believes “the politicians work for us.”

Our faith journey isn’t just about showing up on Sunday for a good sermon and good music and a good meal. It’s about what we do Monday through Saturday as well, especially in those quiet moments, when the spotlight’s not on us, and we’re making those daily choices about how to live our lives.

We see that in the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus didn’t limit his ministry to the four walls of the church. He was out there fighting injustice and speaking truth to power every single day. He was out there spreading a message of grace and redemption to the least, the last, and the lost. And our charge is to find Him everywhere, every day by how we live our lives.

Obama added that “anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better. Because ultimately, these are not just political issues — they are moral issues.”

Ed Morrissey over at HotAir noticed right away that this is the exact same argument the Catholic Church is making when it comes to the HHS mandate.

In fact, the first lady’s statement not only runs counter to Princeton Professor Peter Singer’s absurd claim that “Catholicism does not oblige its adherents to run hospitals and universities,” it undercuts the president’s argument that “freedom of religion” is the equivalent of “freedom of worship.”

I’ve been arguing for a while now that progressives are just a guilty as conservatives for reading their faith into public policy, even though Democrats constantly rail against Republicans who reference their religion in the public square. I hope the lack of criticism from the left as well as the media helps people see how empty and hypocritical those claims actually are.

I mean, can you imagine how the media would have reacted had Mrs. Obama been a conservative Christian?
