Hobby Lobby Rules!

After 238 years, almost to the goddam day, we've come full circle – back to the country we were before we were actually a country. Back to the time when a religious faction not only ruled the land but actually governed the people. That would be King George III – the same guy against whom we declared war on the premise of the separation of church and state. But with the Hobby Lobby ruling, after almost two and a half centuries, we've come full circle, back to a place in time where the wants and whims of a particular religious attitude trump the laws of the land. And make no mistake about it: The Affordable Care Act is the law. A law – like any law – that can only be altered through the proper legislative process. Ideally. But not, seemingly, any more. Not under the U.S. Constitution as we know it today, as it is interpreted by a majority of deranged Supreme Court justices for the purpose of appeasing the fanatical firestorm faith. 

Well, sorry, fruitcakes everywhere, but you don't get to adjust a law to suit your own particular peccadillos, even religious ones. That's because we're still supposed to be a land ruled by laws; not religious degrees; no matter if we're ruled by a multi-branch government or a parliament or a king.

Of course, what this is REALLY about is not Obamacare, but Obama. These people who call themselves Christians are filled with such hate for the current president, they're happy to violate the constitution just to make a point. Of course, the hypocrisy is obvious: They don't want to be told what to do, but think it's their place to tell the "rest of us" what to do. Jesus … they want to eliminate contraception, but they're too stupid to realize that such a move will only lead to MORE abortions – which are still legal.
