People in Great Britain are now forced to fight for a very basic right. The right to wear a cross
Imagine how awful it will be for any Christians who fail to escape the rotting remnants of Britain after Muslims have achieved the majority if it’s this bad already:
Britain’s Conservative [sic]-led government plans to argue in a European Court of Human Rights case that employers are entitled to ban the visible wearing of crosses at work because displaying the symbol is not a recognized “requirement” of the Christian faith. …
At the center of the applicants’ case is Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which states, “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.”
Moonbattery also has the story of the origin of this fight
The issue has been brought to a head in part by Nadia Eweida:
Eweida, a Coptic Christian and British Airways staffer at Heathrow Airport, was told in 2006 to remove or cover up a small cross she wears around her neck. She refused and was sent home on unpaid leave. Eweida noted that colleagues of other religions, including Muslims and Sikhs, were allowed to wear religious items such as hijabs, turbans and religious bracelets.
So, how long? How long until this fight comes to America? Folks it is a fight that Christians, or anyone that respects basic human rights does not want. But, we have little choice, we must fight this. And even if you are a non-believer, or of a different faith, do not think this fight foes not hold dire implications for you.

Doug, this fight has been being fought on our soil for well over 50 years. The HHS mandate is just the latest skirmish in the fight on this side of the pond. FWIW: http://wolfhowling.blogspot.com/2010/04/war-on-religion.html
You are right about the HHS mandate,that IS a direct assault on the Catholic Church. I think Obama wanted Cathoics targeted because many people have a negative opinion of that church, he is picking his targets
The fight has already begun and it will not let up in any shape or form. The younger generation does not wish to participate in any form of religion, but the spirit does not operate in that manner, it goes with the flow and masquerades itself and waeves itself into the everyday lifestyles of the people. People allow this because they are “too busy” to stop and look around them and actually see what is occurring. The door is wide open simply because we have voluntarily opened that door and the masses now refuse to close it.
that should be weaves….and not waeves
