“The Wrong Type of Values
Erick Erickson | July 04, 2014
When the rights of individuals clash, both sides should be willing to step back and recognize that both have rights. When in conflict, neither side is truly winning nor losing. Each gets their rights and can disagree. But the political left in America has decided its rights and values are the only acceptable ones in our republic. That they lost in the Supreme Court this past week has sent liberals in America on a weeklong hysterical binge of fact distortion and fabrication (Also known as LIES!—my addition).
Last Monday, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Hobby Lobby’s owners do not have to provide four abortifacient drugs in its insurance plans (We do NOT need courts to tell us that!—my addition). Liberals pounced on this ruling and decried it as discrimination against women (Utter nonsense!—my addition), which it was not. They also alleged the Supreme Court had made it possible for Hobby Lobby to deny all forms of birth control coverage, which Hobby Lobby never asked for (And does not do! Again, LIES!—my addition).
The store provides coverage for 16 forms of birth control in its insurance plans. In fact, Hobby Lobby allows coverage for birth control prescriptions to be used for other issues, too. As many are aware, sometimes women are prescribed birth control for issues other than pregnancy prevention. Hobby Lobby’s insurance plan covers and permits those prescriptions.
Hobby Lobby’s owners are, however, Christians. They believe in the sanctity of life. So Hobby Lobby objected to the government’s demands that it provide four medications that cause abortion. The four medications Hobby Lobby objects to are not prescribed for other maters. They are prescribed to induce the destruction of a child (To MURDER unborn children in the womb! The womb being the MOST dangerous place in America bar none! Why is the federal government financing the MURDER of our children with our money? And why do we allow it?—my addition).
The Supreme Court ruled that a closely held corporation can, under legislation passed by Democrats and signed by Bill Clinton in the early 90s, avoid the government mandate because the government is able to satisfy its own requirement through means that do not impinge on the religious rights of Hobby Lobby’s owners.
In other words, Hobby Lobby’s female employees can still get access to abortifacient drugs without Hobby Lobby having to pay for them (Always has been able to do so! Try any drug store!—my addition). The government had already given ample exceptions to its own mandate, which the Court took as evidence that there were other ways to carry out the mandate without burdening the religious convictions of Hobby Lobby’s owners.
What is so striking in this case is that the left has spent the last decade demanding American corporations maintain high ethical values and treat their workers with dignity. Hobby Lobby should be a model for other corporations. The business closes earlier than its competitors so its workers can go home early to their families. The business pays well above minimum wage. It promotes its workers internally more often than it brings in outsiders to take jobs. Hobby Lobby closes on Sundays and most holidays so its workers can be at home with their families.
In fact, Hobby Lobby exhibits the behavior the left has demanded of businesses for years. It provides generous pay and benefits, including an excellent retirement plan and health care benefits. But Hobby Lobby is a closely held business. It is not publicly traded on the stock exchange. Rather, it is owned by one family—the Green family. David and Barbara Green and their family are committed Christians.
Christians believe in a doctrine of vocation—they believe their job is another form of ministry through which they can glorify God. The Green family made a conscious decision to operate Hobby Lobby as not just a business earning a profit, but as a ministry to preach the Gospel. Their business advertising quotes scripture. Their workplace rules are designed to support families. But because they are Christians, they are pro-life and do not want to be complicit in aborting children. Their values reflect that, too.
Unfortunately for the Green family, that one value means their entire company is an abomination to the left (Because faith in GOD is an abomination to those who have no faith!—my addition). Their generous pay, work hours, and benefits are all for naught because of four prescriptions they refuse to provide. Their religious values conflict with those of the left, and, but for five votes of the Supreme Court, they would pay a substantial price for having the wrong values (However, they are NOT the wrong values! And in the end, no matter what happens on this earth, Christians win and non-Christians lose! It is best to repent and become a Christian! There are ultimately only two choices in life! Choose GOD, JESUS, the CHRIST, and the HOLY SPIRIT and live! OR deny the THREE in ONE GOD of the universe and die!—my addition).
The peddlers of tolerance will tolerate no dissent on this issue (Or any other for that matter!—my addition).”
There are ultimately only two choices in life! Choose GOD, JESUS, the CHRIST, and the HOLY SPIRIT and live! OR deny the THREE in ONE GOD of the universe and die!
