Leave it to Liberals to completely ignore the need for a company to look out for its bottom line.

The old “guilt by association” fallacy.

so by the author’s logic we should, if we haven’t already, stop calling pro-abortion people Christians.

This kind of drivel usually didn’t make it into print.

Boo hoo, lefties. I’ll continue to shop at Hobby Lobby regardless of your vitriol and hatred. Meanwhile, Target can get stuffed.

How desperate. To attack Hobby Lobby on this basis?

Very lame and pathetic.

Liberal policies destroy huge swaths of domestic industry, and then they whine that the stores are all filled with imported goods.

Shouldn’t they be happy Hobby Lobby is filled with Chinese goods? After all, China’s even further down the path they want to take us.

I'm glad to hear that all the Left leaning and secular businesses have stopped selling all merchandise that says “Made in China”. I guess soon we will see only Made in USA everywhere.

Maybe the Left will decide to stop promoting Communism and Socialism now that they have all refused to sell anything made by a Socialist country...

Paying someone the going wage in a foreign country is not the equivalent of stabbing someone through the skull with a pair of scissors.

The Bible is replete with calls for economic justice. Can you call yourself a "Christian business" when you leverage your profits to support an economic system that blatantly perpetuates injustice?

What Bible is he reading?

I love it when non Christians tell me what the standard is that I'm supposed to live by.

Now come the broadsides against Hobby Lobby and the Greens. Settle in for a long siege.

Or better yet, go on the offensive. Attack the hypocrisy of the Left’s cherished institutions; it should be easy enough.

So he believes that those who supported HL’s fight for religious freedom somehow now claim HL is infallible? This man is an idiot.

Where? I have read the Bible numerous times and have never seen this in any manifestation. Christ told us to remember the poor, not once did He mandate that we should perpetuate their plight. His first and foremost consideration was their eternal soul. Aside from that, render unto Caesar.

So the store sells around 60,000 items. They could stop the chinese items and sell 100. Think about how much they could save on cost of goods sold. Heck, they might be able to just have their immediate family work there.

The indictment is not so much against Hobby Lobby, as it is against the policies of the Peoples’ Republic of China.

And what would this carping have to do with the business practices of Hobby Lobby? As an enterprise, the business treats its employees with respect and understanding, and its customers with fair pricing and convenient access. And these are not virtues in today’s world?

Hobby Lobby can do only so much in assuring an equitable relationship among all the elements that go to make up the complex interrelationships that govern business dealings around the world. The Chinese, for all their mismanagement of human talent they have at their disposal, still produce reasonably good marketable items as a price that wholesalers find attractive, and they supply them in great quantity. Whether that supply chain is altogether doing “the greatest good for the greatest number”, is a matter to take up with the Chinese.

If they are even inclined to listen.

I neither defend nor attack the Chinese for the policies they use to attain the productivity they have achieved. But if their methods trouble the liberal mind so much, why is not the righteous wrath of the critics directed at the source of these methods?

The Bible is replete with calls for economic justice.

Hardly ... but it is replete with calls to repent and believe.

Matt 3:2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Mark 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

Acts 17:30 Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

I have received several “The Week” solicitations in the form of a free copy of the current issue. It is like a “Reader’s Digest” condensed version of the news but with editorials. Did not take more than a few pages to realize that it did have a strong left bias (surprise - not!) No interest then or now. This reinforces my disinterest!
