Progressive Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY) admitted Thursday that he doesnt even know what Hobby Lobby sells. He tacitly admits that he doesnt care that it is a family-owned business.
Nevertheless, in announcing that the Democrats will pursue legislation to overthrow the Supreme Courts decision of last week, Schumer explicitly ordered Americans to choose between our livelihoods and our religious beliefs.
Think of the difference, Schumer says. Youre born with a religion or you adopt a religion. You have to obey the precepts of that religion, and the government gives you a wide penumbra. You dont have to form a corporation.
Our rights, according to Americas founding documents, dont come from government, by are inalienable, and come from God.
We wouldnt tell the owners of Hobby Lobby, he continued, to convert to a different religion or disobey their religion. But we dont say that they have to open up a company. And go sell toys, or, hobby kits. We dont have any of them in New York, so I dont know exactly what they sell.
His audience chuckled at that.
But the court took the protection (for individuals, per Schumers reckoning) and misapplied it.
Schumer gets the Obamacare abortifacient mandate wrong, intentionally. It does tell people who object to abortifacients to disobey their religion. It tells the Little Sisters of the Poor to disobey their religion. It tells Catholic business owners to disobey their religion.
In Schumers way of thinking, the solution for religious people is obvious: If you dont want to disobey your religion, refrain from starting a business in America. At all. Ever.
In principle yes. Anything. As long as the interest group pushing the matter has enough political clout to force the issue.
Muslims don't have to obey such strict Liberal rules. They can use any sort of persecution and murder to spread their religion as they wish. All they have to do is pull the Discrimination Card out and wave it and it is OK.
Maybe he can submit a bill stating that to buy or sell you will need to take a mark to show you are government complaint
Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY) admitted Thursday that he doesnt even know what Hobby Lobby sells....
“Hobbies? We don’t need no stinkin’ Hobbies!”
Talking out of both sides of his mouth? Horrors!
It doesn't dawn on Smucky that the owners of Hobby Lobby formed their corporation long before the admomination known as Obamacare was inflicted upon the US. And what a totally stupid remark! He doesn't want Americans forming successful businesses that employ thousands?
Is there a more despicable member of Congress than Chucky Smucky? Well, there are a few that give him a real run for the money.
Yeah, the “persuit of happiness” only applies sluts named Sandra! Screw you if you risk your own sweat and money to start a business!
That is why we must appeal to a higher authority.
Muslim drivers at Cleveland airport refuse to drive cabs with Gay Games advertising
There is another choice, Schmucky. Give me liberty or give me death!
And if they do, what's Schumer's "final solution".
So conversely a business could decide to not pay for a circumcision ..
democrat tells religious americans you must choose between your faith or OUR CHURCH
Coming soon.
Thank you!
And he shall have to carry the mark of the Beast... abandon Christianity to operate in the world.
He who chooses money over faith and virtue, shall soon enough find that he has nether.
