Man of the year, Hobby Lobby

Lex's Man of the Year:  John Roberts.  In the same fashion Time Magazine named nefarious characters like Hitler, Stalin, a Chinese dictator and OWS protestors “person(s)” of the year, Roberts is named for his own nefarious deeds – 1) saddling America with LBcare  2) His extra constitutional BS re-writing of the law from the bench which will set Supreme Court precedence on its ear for decades.  Way to go Johnny.  You’re going a heck of a job.  For effort, you are the @$$bag of the year.

We will not comply
If you need anything Hobby Lobby sells, I encourage you to buy it there even if it costs a bit more than Wal-Mart. Here’s their web site to do a shelf check and locate a store in your community. Faced with onerous government intrusion that violates their religious conscience, Hobby Lobby has taken up the cry of free America under Littel Barry (now simply LB) – WE WILL NOT COMPLY!


Hobby Lobby has a lot to lose. It is not corporate magnet with a huge board and 1,000s of lawyers. It is a family owned business, and like our founders, they have chosen to lay their fortune on the line in opposition to a tyrannical government.

When we met Trigg Palin – the Palin’s Downs Syndrome youngest son - I wondered if I’d have had the strength to bring that child into the world. It’s easy to say, yeah sure I’d do it when the possibility is not right in front of you. The Palins and everyone else who has chosen life in these instances have signed on for lifetime of duty and a duty that will then be passed to siblings. Whatever else you think of the Palins, you have to admire their courage and conviction to principle and life.

Now, here is another huge “what if” before us. The Green family who owns Hobby Lobby is prepared to lose everything for principle. They have over 500 stores and face a million dollar plus fine EVERY DAY for failing to comply with the whims of HHS Secretary and ex-communicated Catholic Kathleen Sabiluis.

Given that the Green’s have probably spent their entire lives building the business, it’s hard to imagine them just chucking it all over a few dollars for prescription drugs mandated by the government. That is exactly what they are prepared to do.

It seems to me, they could divest themselves by having 500+ “going out of business” sales, selling off the in store stock and other assets and letting the leases lapse on all their stores. They would make another fortune and could live out their lives and their children’s lives and children’s children lives in comfort without confronting the government. They have instead risked everything by telling the government they will not comply. In the process they will, for the time being, continue to provide employment for 13,000 people.

If they come for me, I hope I have the courage of the Greens and Palins. I know I don’t have their grace. If the feds show up at the compound, they will get a long string of expletives hurled at them (ask the census worker) and if I’m able a shovel of horse $h!t in their faces.

ASIDE: I’m now convinced it’s not “if.” It is now just a question of when and for what. This crappy little page, a gun, failure to remove the LB sucks bumper sticker from my truck etc.

So, yeah, we need a Chick-Fil-A moment here. Stop by the Hobby Lobby and buy a model airplane for your kid, a frame or some dried flowers for the bathroom.
