The Sickest Right Wing Reaction to the Hobby Lobby Decision

Erick son of Erick keeps finding new ways to be repulsive
Wingnuts • Views: 38,096

All over the Internets, conservatives are dancing with glee over the Supreme Court’s decision in the Hobby Lobby case, but there is one man perhaps more than any other who epitomizes the attitude that was endorsed and given legal weight today:

This decision made me see what religion the corporation I work for belongs to. Turns out it was born Catholic but its family converted to Lutheranism when it was five. These days it claims it’s “spiritual” but not “religious.”

There’s nothing we can do about the decision or the response to it of the idiots who say such things. As for me, I will continue not frequenting their stores (and I found out there are several near me).

Allow me to remind you that Hobby Lobby has said it would never meet the need of Jewish customers sometime last year, IIRC.

Let me ask the enlightened conscience and conscious of this board something: do you think it would be a good idea to write to the CEO of Hobby Lobby and let him know why you will no longer do business with his company, including in it the fact that it has shown it is anti-women and anti-Jewish?

26 KerFuFFler  Jun 30, 2014 12:17:15pm

I really hope that this backfires and that Hobby Lobby discovers the hard way that most of their customers are women———by losing them.

But then since Hobby Lobby basically supplies plastic flowers, sequins and glue to people who think that following the instructions for a project makes them “creative”, chances are most of their customers are conservative.

IUD, which is one of the 4 methods HL refused to fund, has no [ed - corrected to fewer] side effects [some of which are beneficial], unlike most medications that are offered as BC options. The reasoning for not allowing this as an option? The IUD was an abortificient.

That belief, of course, is unsupported by the science, but the belief that it was trumps the science.

This is part of the Court’s flawed logic.

The result of this is that a doctor who wants to help a patient with their birth control/reproductive health methods can’t treat their patient with the least harmful birth control method because the religious nut who owns HL deems an IUD an abortificient.

Small quibble: the IUD does have the potential for side effects, just like others. However, in the case of hormonal BC, IUDs like the Mirena can deliver the hormones directly where needed and therefore there is a much lower dose.

Technically the fact that I don’t have a period on the Mirena is a side effect. I think it is an absolutely fantastic one, but it is a side effect. :) I can’t use a copper IUD, because one of the known side effects for that is that periods can be more painful …and mine were bad enough without that.

Bear in mind: for these people, human sexuality is a sin. An affront to their god. If you engage in any sort of physical intimacy with a person for any reason other than the intended production of children, you are a vile heathen making a direct assault on the skydad. Their “solution” is simple: don’t have sex. Of any kind. Ever.

Alito’s basically used the RFRA to upend decades of legal precedent, the exact opposite of what the law was intended to do. Before the Roberts Court, a person alleging that a law was a burden on their “religious beliefs” had to prove that that “belief” was genuine and so strongly felt that the burden on it was unreasonable. It then fell to the government to explain that it had a compelling state interest in that law and that it was the least burdensome way to regulate possible.

As of today, a “religious belief” is now unquestionable, any contradictory actions can be ignored, and the plaintiff is automatically assumed to be burdened. The government now gets stuck showing that the burden is unavoidable, which in the case of the contraceptive mandate the Roberts Court said it isn’t because the government can just pay for these contraceptives with taxpayer money.

The chairman of the Mississippi Federation of College Republicans’ (MFCR) announced on Monday he was resigning and planned to become a Democrat following a brutal U.S. Senate primary.

“The Republican Party has shifted too far to the right in my opinion,” Evan Alvarez wrote in a resignation statement sent out by MFCR, according to The Clarion-Ledger newspaper. “When I ran for Chairman in the spring, I ran to be Chairman of the Mississippi Federation of College REPUBLICANS, not the Mississippi Federation of College ‘Tea Partiers,’” Alvarez said.

The resignation came after the MFCR board decided to not impeach the organization’s executive director, Kolby Busby, for publicly endorsing state Sen. Chris McDaniel in the GOP primary against U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran. McDaniel eventually lost the race in a runoff.

A RWNJ on FB is arguing that any patient in need of the types of BC that the Supreme Court has exempted Hobby Lobby from will still be covered because if it is needed to balance hormones instead of to prevent pregnancy the charge will be coded differently for insurance purposes, and therefore covered.

A RWNJ on FB is arguing that any patient in need of the types of BC that the Supreme Court has exempted Hobby Lobby from will still be covered because if it is needed to balance hormones instead of to prevent pregnancy the charge will be coded differently for insurance purposes, and therefore covered. Is there any truth to this?

I would think not. The insurance company would not simply not offer it on their formulary.

Countries and organizations NSA spied upon. No surprises here. Sorry.

We spied on Israel. And Saudi Arabia. And the PA.

And the following groups:
United Nations; International Atomic Energy Agency; World Bank Group; International Monetary Fund; Inter-American Development Bank; European Central Bank; European Union; African Union; Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries; African Development Bank; Asian Development Bank; Bank for International Settlements; European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; Financial Action Task Force; Gas
Producers’ Forum; Islamic Development Bank; League of Arab States; Mercosur.

Foreign-Based PoIitical Organizations, Not SubstantiaIly Composed of United States
Persorts (50 UoS.C. § 1801(a)(5)):
Areal; Bharatiya Janata Party; Bolivaria Continental Coordinator; Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood; National Salvation Front; Pakistan Peoples Party. (TS//NF)

Entities Directed and Controlled by a Foreign Government or Governments (50 U.S.C. § I801(a)(6)):
Bolivarian Alternative office Americas’, PetroCaribe, S.A. (TSi/NF)

All of these are valid targets of NSA efforts. No surprises (and none of the targets should be surprised the US is spying on them either). Wanting to know policy, choices, meetings, etc., all help inform US policymakers.

(snip)

“Rogers also said that he believes the government’s working relationship with companies such as Verizon, AT&T and social media companies have been damaged, perhaps permanently.

(snip)

“While Rogers said he doesn’t believe that the agency can ever be fully insulated against leaks, he said he is taking steps to change the protocols at the NSA to prevent another leak on the scale of Snowden’s. Changes to the agency’s systems, for example, have been designed to limit the volume of information that could be taken from them, the Times reported.” More

From your link:

Rosenbaum says the existence of the religious nonprofit exemption, which has been upheld by several federal courts, helped doom the contraception mandate.

“There were very powerful arguments as to why corporations should not be allowed to put their employees’ benefits aside,” says Rosenbaum. “It’s a very unfortunate decision.” But, she adds, the government never made a convincing argument for why it couldn’t simply make the same accommodation for Hobby Lobby that it did for nonprofits such as the University of Notre Dame. “It was one of the weaknesses in the government’s arguments all along…and the Supreme Court seized on that.”

While I hope every woman who wants access gets it even if a work-around is needed, when it comes down to it the exemption is bullshit for the non-profits just as it is for for-profits. And like Rosenbaum said, it just provided an opening for the Supremes to take things further down the wrong road.

163 Dr. Matt  Jun 30, 2014 1:25:25pm

Hot water freezes faster than cold - and now we think we know why.

Hot water seems to freeze faster than cold water, known as the Mpemba effect. The effect was named after the Tanzanian student who in 1963 noticed that hot ice cream mix freezes faster than a cold one. The effect was first observed by Aristotle in the 4th century BC, then later Francis Bacon and René Descartes. Mpemba published a paper on his findings in 1969.

[…]

Now a team of physicists from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, led by Xi Zhang, have found evidence that it is the chemical bonds that hold water together that provide the effect.

[…]

They propose that when the water molecules are brought into close contact, a natural repulsion between the molecules causes the covalent bonds to stretch and store energy. When the liquid warms up, the hydrogen bonds stretch as the water gets less dense and the molecules move further apart.

The stretching in the hydrogen bonds allows the covalent bonds to relax and shrink somewhat, which causes them to give up their energy. The process of covalent bonds giving up their energy is essentially the same as cooling, and so warm water should in theory cool faster than cold. The team’s calculations suggest that the magnitude of the covalent bond relaxation accounts for the experimental differences in the time it takes for hot and cold water to freeze.

Science rules.

One advantage of spending most of last week in western NY state was that it was prime strawberry season up there. Lots of local berries available and my brother also baked short cakes. :)

They propose that when the water molecules are brought into close contact, a natural repulsion between the molecules causes the covalent bonds to stretch and store energy. When the liquid warms up, the hydrogen bonds stretch as the water gets less dense and the molecules move further apart.

My religion says the angels in the water feel closer to God and get excited,

re: #27 lawhawk

IUD, which is one of the 4 methods HL refused to fund, has no [ed - corrected to fewer] side effects [some of which are beneficial], unlike most medications that are offered as BC options. The reasoning for not allowing this as an option? The IUD was an abortificient.

That belief, of course, is unsupported by the science, but the belief that it was trumps the science.

This is part of the Court’s flawed logic.

The result of this is that a doctor who wants to help a patient with their birth control/reproductive health methods can’t treat their patient with the least harmful birth control method because the religious nut who owns HL deems an IUD an abortificient.

But I thought the big problem was going to be unelected and unqualified government bureaucrats making decisions about our health care, and coming between a patient and the doctor. That would be bad. I guess when it’s the religious beliefs of a corporation (a concept I still refuse to accept), then it’s a good thing.

I guess I can’t be a wingnut, I like my logical consistency too much.

That does sum it up to a certain degree. My mother and sister both attended UU congregations. My mother, who pretty much was a secular humanist, did it in order to sing in the choir and take part in other social activities. Which fits what UU is about.

The first review covers some of what Marshall said in the first few chapters. One of the main questions he brings up is that before you choose a religion you first need to decide whether or not you need one.* I decided I didn’t and thus am where I am.

* - And also note that he is coming from the route where one is searching for a sort of spiritual group to join and have not simply been thrust into one from upbringing.

Man, Algeria is giving the Germans a scare. They’d be winning right now if they hadn’t gone offsides in a run for the goal. And they’re unafraid to press their advantage or to make aggressive runs at the goal.

I’d like to see an African side make it to the next round. They’d have to get past Germany, but it would be a cool sight to see.

Some of the cops over at Policeone think that was totally hilarious.

….call me an asshole but this will not ruin my day…im sure he will find another money hungry liar to get him off…

I’m all Broken Up.

Well, 1 is a start….

Was there a crime committed except for discharging a firearm within city limits?

I am appalled by the hate shown on this page. This man was a human being and may of had a family…..Just kidding!! Defense Attorney equals a bottom feeding, scum sucking piece of crap. He can burn.

A few tried to step in and stop the madness…

rbharwell: You know, I expected these comments unfortunately. Even children know better. We’ve all made jokes and all that about defense lawyers and shared a laugh or a chuckle…but to gloat over someone’s murder is only something a lowlife would do. How do we feel when someone says “Good riddance PIG” on a CNN article or youtube video when it’s a cop that’s killed? We don’t like it do we?

And we scratch our heads and wonder why some people hate cops…

So remember this:

When a decent person who serves society is murdered…police officers are actually are laughing at him or her and the family…and they don’t care that the rest of us know about it.

How I (And Other “Pro-Life Leaders”) Contributed to Dr. Tiller’s Murder

This is an article by Frank Schaeffer written in 2009 but is still very relevant to what has been going on lately.

His Father, Francis Schaeffer, is the one who started the Militant Anti-Abortion movement in this country. Before that, the religious right was still marginal in power, based mainly in the south, and was mainly focused on Anti-Gay activities and lust for religious domination. His father helped channel their zealotry towards abortion.

This SCOTUS clusterfuck has really, really got me down. Really ended the workday on a sour note.

The worst thing is knowing that it’ll be a miracle if this crap is fixed within my lifetime. And the Archconservative activists on the SCOTUS are going to just keep doing this shit, over and over again, until they are physically unable to do their jobs — and their endgame is to make sure a Conservative administration is illegally elected so they can be replaced by just as nutty conservatives.

And there’s NOTHING we can do about it.
