In their never ending search for manufactured outrage, the DUmp finds another reason.
I read about this a couple days ago, and wondered if the primitives would start the poo-fling.
They are afterall, consistant, and did.

Hobby Lobby sues government over healthcare mandate
Source: (Reuters)
(Reuters) - Hobby Lobby, an arts and crafts retailer founded by evangelical Christians, sued the Obama administration on Wednesday to stop a mandate under the federal healthcare reform law to provide drugs such as the morning-after pill to employees through their health insurance.
The lawsuit, filed in District Court in the Western District of Oklahoma, seeks a permanent injunction against the government on behalf of Hobby Lobby and other companies that have religious convictions against abortion.
"These abortion-causing drugs go against our faith," said David Green, founder and chief executive officer of Hobby Lobby Stores Inc, in a call with reporters. "We simply cannot abandon our religious beliefs to comply with this mandate."
The U.S. Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit on Wednesday.
Hobby Lobby is facing a January 1 deadline to comply with the mandate. Should it refuse, it would face a penalty of $1.3 million per year, under the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a lawyer representing the company said.

1. Hobby Lobby Blows
They took out a full page ad in our paper (Telegraph Herald) sometime within the past 6 months (Easter?). It read: "One Nation UNDER GOD." There was some other bullshit to it too (something about praying for judges or something). I knew then they sucked (and blew).
So what? That's their choice. Are you or aren't you "pro choice"?
2. First of all, they suck. Second, they don't even sell hobby stuff.
So they double suck.
I went to one a month ago, big bog store filled with craft shit, hardly any hobby stuff (in the old school hobby sense).
Just what, exactly
is, your "hobby"? Sex toys, perhaps.

17. if only
there were some system where employers did not have to provide insurance, and individuals could purchase their own.
hmmmm. That might solve the problem of imposing your religious beliefs on some one else's private life.
There is. It's called a pay check.

38. company towns used to require employees to spend money at company
town stores. This reeks of the same mentality.
Think about what you typed, wiggy.
The
government is the one making the demand, not Hobby Lobby.
Hobby Lobby doesn't want to spend its money at the
government store.
On and on they went.
Faux outrage over religon and the store in general.
As with WalMart of course, none of them really shop there.
Case in point.

49. Never bought anything from Hobby Lobby that I can recall........
And definitely won't, now that I've read this.
These losers need to stop ****ing whining so much. If they disagree with birth control, that's their choice.....what ISN'T, is forcing their belief system on those working there.
Next thing you know, they'll be boycotting chicken sandwiches.
