This is America, and if one group gets a right to enforce its religious beliefs, others can’t be denied. The answer seemed easy to me: Obamacare should have been revised instead of giving Hobby Lobby an exemption. That one revision would have settled many problems that are coming down the road. For most, this ruling is more than just the fairness and implications of this ruling. For many, it’s about religion. For most, it’s just another left vs. right debate. Aren’t the American people feeling sick and tired of this endless left-and-right debate and the gridlock it‘s causing?

I plead with all Americans and the politicians to let go of all of their preconceived ideologies, take a deep breath and try to see the truth. If we are the greatest, most powerful country in the world that is supposed to set an example, let’s take a hard look at the kids at the border, health care for all and cleaning up the planet. These issues should not be about what party you belong to, but what is best for America and mankind in general. I’ve never seen this great country so torn over political ideologies.
