David Gregory and Hobby Lobby: The Liberal Paradox (Who should obey the law?)
The Right Sphere ^ | 12/28/12 | RB

Posted on 12/29/2012 3:46:43 AM PST by Libloather

**SNIP**

Anyway, there’s a larger picture here and one that plainly highlights the liberal hypocrisy and incoherence that somehow goes unnoticed by a very large number of people in this country who, unfortunately, also vote. Liberals like David Gregory are allowed to break laws to prove a point. I’d be fine with this if they were also held accountable for breaking those laws. But his accomplices – let’s face it, that’s what they are: accomplices after the fact – are defending him from ANY prosecution at all. Why?

He broke the law. Fine, he was making a point, but that doesn’t magically shield him from prosecution. Ask James O’Keefe. He’ll tell you all about it.

Or you could ask Hobby Lobby.

Craft store giant Hobby Lobby is bracing for a $1.3 million a day fine beginning January 1 for noncompliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, dubbed Obamacare.

If the law was to be followed, a lot of liberals would be dangling...

Socialist Party members and Young Pioneers (Всесою́зная пионе́рская организа́ция и́мени В. И. Ле́нина)/Hitler Youth (Die Hitler Jugend) don’t go to jail for doing what the peasants would be punished for. We’ve seen this movie before.

As evil, racist conservatives, liberals demand that we follow the laws they have created for us. However, those laws are only for non-liberals.

Liberals, being the enlightened, peace-loving, people that they are; do not have to obey any laws other than their own feelings. They consider themselves to be morally and intellectually superior to all other people.

(Hurl Alert?)

Morality and non-partisan politicisms, in a liberal’s vernacular, is that which enslaves and inconveniences all but themselves and their kind.

Doesn’t anyone find it strange that liberals are turning the country into Detroit, committing every crime in the book without fear of prosecution, yet we are the ones with the guns and are to be feared?

Prosecuting Gregory follows the logic most of us here have urged:
Enforce existing laws instead of passing more laws that will not be obeyed as well by criminals.
And it is consonant, as well, with our attitude and the policy we urge regarding criminalien migrants.
Finally, you don’t have to be a lawyer or a conservative to reach the conclusion that Howdy broke the law.

Liberals with money never see anything that remotely resembles Detroit, and if they see anyone near them that looks like a Detroit resident they use private security and police to move them elsewhere...

Maybe Hobby Lobby should hold a “Boston Harbor Tea Party” after they have been bled dry from the fines and take all their remaining inventory and burn it in a giant bonfire in every parking lot all at once across the country...

The smoke clouds over the cities would be seen as the first “Shot across the bow”....

Liberals will say they’re doing it, whatever it is they’re doing, to help people. Do they do it for free? Hell no!

If Gregory was sincere he’d go to jail to prove his point.
