Boycott Hobby Lobby?
Posted: Sep 21, 2012
So, this company is owned and operated by people who have certain beliefs regarding the Obamacare mandate regarding abortion - and filed suit to be granted the same exemption that has already been granted to a Catholic organization.
Howls of protest. Calls for boycott. Not me!
First, I'm not stupid enough to step on my own face if I can help it. HL has some great stuff that I can't find elsewhere, or for the price.
Second, I'm not stupid enough to step on an organization in this country that creates a jobs, gives people raises and operates by a moral code that has a LOT to do with how they do business (treat me and treat their employees), and very LITTLE to do with this issue. I'm not going to be responsible for putting people out of work.
Third, I'm not stupid enough not to know that what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Any "weapon" like this that you think it's smart to use - look out! Tomorrow, it's coming back the other way. You want tolerance. You preach tolerance. You'd better practice tolerance. Tolerance does NOT mean "I tolerate whatever I happen to like and I don't tolerate whatever displeases me". In fact, that isn't tolerance at all.

Umhm. It is a bad time for employees to look for other - jobs or pay full price for contraceptives, tho. NM

HL pays for contraceptives - just not the two "abortion drugs". - Information - a wonderful thing.

HOBBY LOBBY WON!Jun 30, 2014
Supreme Court states corporations cannot be required to provide contraception coverage. YES!!!! The protests outside are all young people and they act like the ruling would deny birth control for everyone. When are these kids going to get an education? They want it, they can pay for it just like we used to have to pay for it. I'm so glad. The government does not have the right to force us to pay for contraceptives, especially those that are no longer able to have kids or e ...
Hobby Lobby . . . AgainJul 29, 2014
What is it exactly that HL wants? Claim they cannot cover certain BC because they cause abortions, now they fire a lady because she is pregnant. HL is religiousing itself into a corner from which they will never be able to get out. If real people were not affected by their absurdity, it would be downright funny, but sadly real people are affected. For the sake of the employee I do hope this is an allegation and that she has not been fired for being pregnant, but if ...

Hobby Lobby StoresJul 01, 2014
Have you noticed when you are in a Hobby Lobby store (for those who have actually spent time in one), they play Christian music over their music system? I find it very soothing and often enjoy it so much that I have bought several of the CDs they are playing. This is still a free country - just as we are free to get out of transcription and find another line of work, so the employee of Hobby Lobby is free to find another craft store or another line of work. This is a free count ...
The Big Picture Regarding The Hobby Lobby DecisionJul 01, 2014
I think to a lot of people, the Supreme Court's decision in the Hobby Lobby case is largely about an overhaul of corporations' rights to control employees, basically a first step to more control over their lives. Sure, it's about the birth control issue, but the "big picture" about the decision is this opening of the door to who knows what is next from big business? The same people who are saying they don't want government to come between people and their doctor s ...

Congressional Democrats Paid By The Iran Lobby ToSep 04, 2015
Every senator who accepted money from the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IPAC) should be impeached and removed from office — or at very least, soundly defeated the next time he or she comes up for reelection. But the Enemedia, true to form, will cover for them and do everything it can to keep them on the government payroll. One of the many unanswered questions about P5+1 agreement with Iran is why so many Congressional Democrats are rallying behind the President on this issue ...
