Comparison of Obama to Hitler and Stalin
I do not mean to minimize the challenges of religious freedom that exist in our country and there is much constructive work for all of us to be doing to try to preserve a robust notion of religious freedom.
Having said that, I think homilies like Bishop Jenky's, which can be heard here, are both counter-productive and deeply offensive. Obama's support of the HHS mandate, albeit raising real issues about lack of respect for religion, is hardly on a par with the behavior of Hitler or Stalin.
We all need to be sure we are ways that others who dont' already agree with us can hear. This kind of rhetoric does not, in my view, fall into that category.

It is odd that this did not come up during the 8 years that Bush was called Hitler and Cheney was considered Darth Vader. Only when liberal Democrats are in office is there any concern for civility. How about we start by having liberals apologize to Bush and Cheney before complaining about how Obama is treated?
