Hobby Lobby Wins, Religious Freedom Still At Risk

It’s been an interesting couple weeks at the Supreme Court. The Court term ends today, traditionally many case decisions are announced in June. The Obama administration has seen its position struck down by a unanimous Court 8 times. This includes cases involving the searching of smart phones and a law restricting speech outside of an abortion clinic. The Court has chipped away at government power, whether it’s Federal or state. (in government power cases the Federal government often provides a brief and argues their position) This court can hardly be called libertarian though, most of the cases have been narrowly tailored. There have been no sweeping decisions.

“Boycotts of HL are already being called for...time to make a trip to the local Hobby Lobby.”

I’ve made several trips there and bought something just to show my support. Wish they sold more things I use as I would like to patronize them more often.

Hobby Lobby Wins, Religious Freedom Still At Risk

The owners of Hobby Lobby, risking the future of their company and their own financial futures, struck a blow for FREEDOM for all AMERICANS! I'm going there to patronize their store just to show my personal appreciation!

When 0bama Fails, FREEDOM Prevails!

Every time I've gone to Hobby Lobby since the suit was filed I've made it a point to verbally engage a manager or employee for a few seconds to voice my support regarding the company's legal action.

I was struck how closely they all were following the suit's progress as the months and months went by....and how grateful they were to hear expressions of "good luck".

This week I'll stop in again with congratulations. I'll bet they're going nuts at the store right this moment. I really should go today! Maybe there's free (non-alcoholic) champagne and cookies!

I would do it on line but I’m too tight to pay shipping so I go to HOBBY LOBBY at least once a month. Maybe more.

One thing I’ve bought there for gifts is toys. Usually they are semi-educational: model rockets, science kits, model cars, rock tumbler, etc.

The absolute hypocrisy and duplicity of the American statist left defies logical explanation!

Putting aside for the moment that “statist left” and “logical” should NEVER APPEAR in the same rant, the just announced Hobby Lobby decision by the Supremes displayed it for all to see. All, that is, except the looney 47% who are receiving all the “free” chit and other goodies dispensed by the left to keep them voting for Democrat hacks who promise more and more of the free chit.

At the time the left rammed through the (Un)Affordable Care Act, there were loud protests from the few million or so sane citizens still living here that it would interpose fedzilla into the formerly sacred relationship between patient and doctor. The equally looney “We have to pass it to find out what’s in it” left quickly waved a collective imperious hand and uttered a royal “Tsk, tsk”, dismissed the objectors and returned to destroying the fabric of the country.

Comes now the favorable Hobby Lobby decision and comes now two pro-abortion radical feminazis to – where else – MSNBC to decry and lament over the decision. One was Rep. Nita Lowey from NYC (aka Gomorrah on the Hudson) and another woman representing one of the several Margaret Sanger eugenics inspired pro-abortion groups still murdering babies in the former safety of their mothers’ wombs.

Their first and only opposition argument? Though I suspect you have figured this out, better brace yourself: “It would interfere with the sanctity of the relationship between a woman and her doctor.”

And before you hit the reply button with “What about the hypocrisy of the pro-life right in celebrating Hobby Lobby?”

You may have overlooked the third and silent party in the discussion: The unborn baby!

The pro-aborts maintain that a fetus is NOT a human being either until birth or the third trimester. (I’ll believe that when a human female delivers a chicken or a cow.) And a number of courts here and in other nations regularly rule in support of that erroneous notion.

And while we’re discussing “hypocrisy”, can you explain this to me? How is it that those same courts correctly rule in cases involving intentional or accidental serious injury to or death of a pregnant woman that if her unborn baby is injured or dies, her baby constitutes a SECOND victim of the trauma or crime and the jury/judge nearly always factors that into the civil judgment or criminal sentence?

That concept comes down to us from the over 2,000 year old law found in the Bible.

And here’s one final piece of law from that Good Book: “A double-minded man (or woman) is UNSTABLE in ALL his (or her) ways”.

What does that say about 21st century America?

Just sayin’
