Hobby Lobby may close

Hobby Lobby may be put out of business by Obamacare. Those worthless "illegitimate offspring" liberal scum have handed out thousands of waivers and exemptions to unions and other assorted cronies but won't give one to Hobby Lobby. I hate them and believe Wanda Sykes desires are too good for them.

Closing is not the answer. Staying open, in business, and openly ignoring the law and FORCING the issue is the answer. FORCE Obama to send in the IRS "armed goons". Shine the light on the evil, don't retreat from it. Evil should confronted.

I am not paying any penalty and IF the premium for our policy EXCEEDS what we are paying today I am going to DEDUCT the difference from, first, my income tax payments, and if needed, my social security payments. I have already informed both my useless senators, and my congressman, of my intent to do so. THAT is how we have decided to go after this.

I expect that most who are opposed to Obama Care to just cave it. Few people today have the courage of their convictions. Even fewer believe in just how important freedom REALLY is and will not understand just how anti-freedom Obama Care is until it is too late.

The very idea of MANDATORY health care administered and ENFORCED by an ARMED GOVERNMENT AGENCY, SHOULD have every freedom loving person up in arms. Keep in mind, that the very same ARMED GOVERNMENT AGENCY was recently caught abusing their power by trying to stifle FREE POLITICAL SPEECH, the very reason for the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and part of the BILL OF RIGHTS. Sadly today, this nation is infested with wimps.

As I figured what others should do is not what you will do.

I don't understand. I intend to stand up against Obama Care in the ONLY way I have available to me. Until they show up at my door, then I WILL fight. They will have to fire the first shot, not to worry, they will.

Hobby Lobby, if they close is ANOTHER victory for Obama. They need to fund ONLY what they CHOOSE to fund and refuse to pain the fine. That is what EVERY freedom loving American SHOULD be doing.

What part of I AM NOT GOING TO DO WHAT I AM TOLD TO DO, do you not understand? I WILL insure my wife on MY terms, whether they allow me to OR NOT.

As the law is currently written, they can fine/penalize you the 95.00 for not signing up on the first year, but they can't forcefully collect it. Now how long that lasts is anyones guess.

In your own words.

You admitted you do not plan on ignoring it only adjusting what you see fit.

This is what I sent to my Senators:



I was saddened, yet not surprised to see that you intend to FORCE health care "reform" on the American People, at whatever cost.


We have already been informed that our current policy WILL be cancelled and the our rate could as much as triple to maintain coverage.


I WON'T pay that, nor will I pay ANY fine, or penalty.


I WILL buy my wife health insurance, but on MY terms, no yours. I will pay ONLY what I am paying now for EQUAL coverage. I will take any difference OUT of my IRS quarterly payments and IF NEED BE, out of my Social Security payments.


The government has NO business in the business of health care and the very IDEA of MANDATORY health care, administered and ENFORCED by an ARMED GOVERNMENT AGENCY, is appalling. To make matters worse this same ARMED AGENCY, the IRS, is known to abuse their power to stifle, FREE POLITICAL SPEECH, the very heart of the First Amendment and the SOUL of the BILL OF RIGHTS!


I KNOW you don't care about what I believe and I KNOW you will NEVER answer this yourself, let alone TALK to me about this. I believe you are AFRAID to talk to those who still believe in freedom and the Constitution and will hide behind your "bully pulpit".

Do you HONESTLY believe that they are going to IGNORE what I do and let me get away with this? Surely you are not that naive. They will come after me. I will stand. They will send "armed goons" as the IRS ALWAYS does. They are, by definition, an armed government agency. One that is VERY MUCH out of control, as it the ENTIRE federal government.


What do YOU intend to do? Just asking.

What if they crawl under your house?


They will get VERY wet. The water table is up to within 2 feet of the surface. They will need SCUBA gear. It is also VERY soft and will likely collapse on them, which would be OK for the rats that they are. Besides, I can just meet them when they wash into the basement.

Hobby Lobby may be put out of business by Obamacare.

Is this just your guess or do you have some article to reference from Godfather Politics. HL CEO has denied this rumor:


In a pre-ceremony meeting with media, Green responded to rumors that Hobby Lobby will close all 500 of its stores across 43 states.
“That is not going to happen. That is on the Internet with my name supposedly signed to it, but we’re not planning on shutting any stores down,” Green said. “We’ve got a battle to fight, and it may take years, but we feel like in the end we will win.”
On the contrary, Green said Hobby Lobby intends to keep expanding while opposing the regulations.
“We continue to grow, we’re adding 35, 40 stores a year. And so for us, as we grow and we earn more profits, we see that as just more ministry,” Green added. “So as long as there’s more ministries needed, then there’s more growth needed, so we continue to plan to grow.”

Those worthless "illegitimate offspring" liberal scum have handed out thousands of waivers and exemptions to unions and other assorted cronies but won't give one to Hobby Lobby.

Those were not exemptions based on religious beliefs; therefore, they do not compare to this particular case.

Their option is to pay $1.3M per day, or a little less than half a Billion dollars a year, in fines or get a waiver like all Obama's friends and union buddies or close. Unless some of you geniuses that know everything can figure out another solution for them.

snopes.com: Hobby Lobby Lawsuit Against Emergency Contraceptives Mandate

If you read the full story presented in your own reference above then you would understand the third option that allows them to stay open and continue to fight their lawsuit as the CEO states.

Hobby Lobby faces a January 1 [2013] deadline to comply with the mandate to provide all FDA-approved contraceptives. Failure to do so would entail a penalty of up to $1.3 million per day.
However, in June 2013 a federal appeals court issued a ruling that reversed the previous District Court's decision and held that Hobby Lobby were entitled to pursue their claims against the federal insurance mandate:

If this does not clear up your confusion, please feel free to PM me and I will explain it slowly for you. :rolleyes:

No confusion at all. They are faced with the potential of $1.3M per day if things don't work out.

If the unions or "Obama's buddies" got waivers because they object to the emergency contraceptive requirement, then Hobby Lobby should get one too. Equal rights!
