They should change their name to “Holy Church of the Immaculate Hobby Lobby” and appeal. </sarcasm>
Funny thing is I was planning on going to Hobby Lobby on the 5th anyway because I need more glass paint for my wineglass painting hobby. I guess I won’t be surprised if I see a huge crowd. Our chik-fil-A had lines wrapped around it during the last “expression”. I am lucky to live in the area I do. Guess now I have incentive to buy a little bit more.
Hmmmm .... planned on taking up crocheting again this year, something I used to do in my younger days. I think I’ll buy my supplies at Hobby Lobby .... store just down the road.
Hopefully they can follow up on it by a trip to Chik-fil-A!
There’s a simple solution for Hobby Lobby to get around this......
... just tell the Government they’re worship Islam.... then they won’t ever be bothered again.

This whole ordeal has little sissy-boy barry licking his chops. He can send the BIG boys in, to show what POWER he has, while he cowers behind the cow.
I'm not a big fan of these support days. Today I ate at Chick-fil-A again, as I've done at least weekly since the totalitarians started to attack them. Those who support HL, should do it aggressively and consistently, not just once or twice for symbolic value. We are in a war between good and evil, and at the moment good is losing. If HL has to pay any fine at all over this, I will never (for life) vote for or in any way do business with anyone directly responsible for the passage or implementation of ObamaCare. All the Congressmen and Senators who voted for it, will be (politically) dead to me. As for democrat voters, I will for any significant purchase or pattern of purchases try as hard as I can afford (which is pretty hard now) to avoid spending any money at any democrat-owned business ever again.
Look, I’m not a Christian but I am against the government harassing Christians in this manner. So -
My thoughts are this: Even if people shop at Hobby Lobby the government still gets the fine money. Surely there are enough wealthy Christians that could band together and perhaps break the corporation off into some kind of independently owned franchise deal that would make the stores still part of Hobby Lobby but keep each store separate financially for the purposes of maintaining an employee count low enough to avoid Obamacare and these fines.
It is not the ideal solution but it would deprive the government of the fine money - if lawyers could figure out a way to do it. That way the stores would remain in Christian hands and at the same time free themselves of this (IMO) violation of their religious freedom.
What do you think? Can it be done?

Rhema's comment has a link for shopping at Hobby Lobby online.
Thanks!!!!! Closest HL is 150 miles, will buy online Jan 5.
Hobby Lobby has automatic standing to challenge Sonya Sotomayor’s appointment to the Supreme Court on the basis of Obama not being Constitutionally able to “act as President” according to the 20th Amendment, because Hawaii has confirmed that he has no legally-determined birth facts and therefore could never have “qualified” by Jan 20, 2009 as required by the 20th Amendment.
They can show that they have suffered particularized harm from Sotomayor being illegally nominated by a man who is forbidden by the 20th Amendment from “acting as President”. Obama has no legally-established birth facts (since the HI state registrar could not verify to AZ SOS Ken Bennett the following birth facts for Obama: male, Aug 4, 1961, Honolulu, Oahu, Stanley Ann Dunham, Barack Hussein Obama). Without a legally-established birth date, birth place, and parents, there is no way that he could “qualify”.
IOW, HI registrar Alvin Onaka indirectly told us that Obama has never qualified for office, and the only person who could Constitutionally act as President all this time is Joe Biden. Only the person acting as President can nominate SCOTUS justices. Sotomayor and Kagan were not nominated by Joe Biden and thus cannot Constitutionally be on SCOTUS.
Hobby Lobby has suffered particularized harm by Obama’s illegal “acting as President” because Sotomayor denied them a stay of the enforcement of the HHS mandate.
If Hobby Lobby attorneys have the courage, we now have the legal certification which could open this wide for them and for the country. Because Sotomayor and Kagan would be the particular subjects of the court case that Hobby Lobby could file, they would have to recuse themselves, and some semblance of lawfulness might be restored to the SCOTUS for this particular issue.
Does somebody know who the legal eagles are around here, to see if there’s anything that could be done to encourage Hobby Lobby attorneys to do this, for the sake of themselves, the freedom of religion, and the survival of this country?
Hmmm, I might take up model rocketry like I did when I was 9/10 in 1976.
I hope all Christians and ProLifers on FR will participate and will help spread the word elsewhere.
I notice that their brand of cotton yarn, “I love this cotton,” is on sale this week. I will go stock up on it to make chemo caps for MD Anderson. It is, by far, the softest cotton yarn I have ever used and is perfect for this type of project.
Would anyone dare apply the same standard to any of the other rights enumerated? Do our leaders really want to take the position that the self evident rights of man are subjective? If so, it should be noted that this is a two-way street. The same Bill of Rights grants them a right to life. Should we look at this as a subjective right of theirs?
The SC will be watching? Like they watched when they voted for obamacare?
Onward Christian Soldiers..I will be there.
