Hobby Lobby cries “oh we are religious, you must respect that.” My wife is Catholic. I was making a rosary for her mother and went to Hobby Lobby to get a cross with Jesus on it. I didn’t see any and asked a clerk about it. She said, “That’s Catholic stuff. We don’t any of that.”
Didn’t find any good coverage of the Chic-Fil-A boycott from a reputable news source.But here is some other background on what happened around that time:http://www.snopes.com/politics/sexuality/chickfila.asp
Actually, they have nearly 900 items involving crosses. But none with Jesus on them like he wanted.To be fair though, it is a Hobby store that happens to have religious leanings. What they are lacking is Jesus figures that can be attached to their crosses.I can say “to be fair” because I am a Democrat.
For ‘conservatives’ on the Supreme Court, Freedom of Religion means that if you are a corporation, you can practice your religion, but your employees may not.-Four legs good, two legs better.
1) They have rosary items available on their website. I didn’t see a mention of the items I looked at as available in-store.2) The item he was looking may have been available at some stores, but not the one he went to.3) lopaka related what the clerk allegedly told him. If what he was looking for was actually available at that store, it clerk may have been mistaken.
If female White House employees earn less it’s because they are less senior. That’s not inequality. Inequality is actually very difficult under the civil service rules that govern the White House, no matter who is in power. For true inequality, you can’t do better than Republican governors like Scott Walker, who appoint their cronies at much higher wages while cutting wages for regular government employees.
I find it odd that for any other religion people support whatever people want to believe, but when it comes to Christianity we get harassed.
We wouldn’t ask people of any other religion to do something they were against or uncomfortable with even, so why do we think it should be any different for Christians or Christian’s who own companies.
If you don’t like Christians, don’t shop there. If you don’t like that they don’t offer birth control, don’t work there. We have a free market society.
People are making way to big of a deal out of this.
Having worked as a health insurance actuary, I would like to take this opportunity to give Hobby Lobby the advance notice that their insurance rates will be going up. It costs a lot more to pay for maternity care than for contraceptives. Group health insurance rates are the same for each employee — male or female. Same goes for spouse and family coverage. This spreads the costs out, but means those who don’t need maternity coverage help pay for those who do. Maternity coverage will raise the insurance cost per employee. Hobby Lobby contributes to the cost of their employees’ insurance. This will increase their contributions. Which of course, they will pass on to their shoppers.
