Hobby Lobby Ruling Escalates Liberal Lies

The Supreme Court ruled that private corporations who have religious objections to certain types of reproductive medications cannot be compelled to provide them. The liberal left has its collective panties in a wad over this and it has been out in full force lying about the decision.

The left claims that the ruling means women will be denied birth control. Let us look at this claim.

First of all, the Hobby Lobby ruling did not deny women access to any drug. The ruling only determined who had to pay for it. In other words, the Court did not deny women access to any medication and only stated that if they wanted those medications they had to pay for them with their own money.

Second of all, the ruling only concerned a certain class of reproductive medications. It dealt specifically with those medications that induce abortion and can terminate life.

In fact, Hobby Lobby provides 16 of the 20 reproductive drugs required under the Obamacare Law. Given that fact it is disingenuous to claim that this ruling denies birth control to women. The company involved does not deny birth control to women it only refuses to pay for drugs that induce abortions. Hobby Lobby provides the contraceptives but not the abortifacients. You see, a contraceptive, by definition, is a drug that prevents pregnancy. Once a pregnancy occurs any drug taken to end it is not a contraceptive, period.

But the left keeps harping on this subject as some kind of attack on women. Hobby Lobby pays a minimum wage that is nearly twice the federal minimum wage and offers great benefits which includes health care plans that cover 16 contraceptives ranging from condoms to hormones to implants.

It just will not cover the abortifacients. Women however, are still free to use those drugs so long as they pay for them with their own money.

And that is all the ruling says.

That, of course, is not good enough for liberals who believe that everything should be provided for everyone. With regard to reproductive medication liberals believe that anything a woman wants to use must be paid for by the employer or the government. We must, according to them, stay out of their wombs and mind our own business but at the same time they want others to pay for their medications.

My good friend Kender McGowan made a great point. Given the liberal position on providing a woman with whatever birth control she wants and also paying for that control Kender asks; if a woman decides to keep her clothes on as her form of birth control does her employer have to pay for her wardrobe?

A great point indeed.

The SCOTUS ruled correctly when it ruled that a privately owned corporation could not be forced to violate its religious beliefs. Birth control is NOT a right. Freedom of religion is.

To make matters worse the liberals are arguing that women must get birth control (something that is NOT required to live) while ignoring the lack of medical treatment and life saving medications our veterans deserve.

While liberals argue for free reproductive medications veterans are dying while waiting for care that is actually life saving.

And unlike reproductive medication, the care veterans deserve is care they actually earned.

Blame The Nut, Not The Gun

Or the knife or the car…

Elliot Rodgers stabbed people, shot people and hit people with his car. He was a nut who had real issues. One only needs to read his words to understand that he had serious mental issues and that his view of the world and of life was skewed. He murdered people, an act that is already against the law.

The liberal left is using this event to once again ratchet up the anti gun rhetoric. The liberals want more gun control and more background checks even though this nut was from one of the most anti gun (and restrictive) states in the Union. None of the laws liberals want would have stopped this guy from murdering people. He stabbed several and used his car as a weapon. Without the gun people still would have died.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office identified the three men found dead in Rodger’s apartment as Cheng Yuan Hong, 20; George Chen, 19; and Weihan Wang, 20. Hong and Chen were his roommates, while Wang was visiting the apartment, the sheriff’s office said. The three students died from “multiple stab wounds” before the shooting rampage, the sheriff’s office said. [emphasis mine]

No one is calling for a ban on guns or more strict requirements for a driver’s license. They are focusing on the gun which was just another tool used by a mentally deranged person to murder people.

Who to blame is the first question from liberals when these things happen. The response in this case is the NRA and Republicans.

No one has stated the obvious and that is the murderer and ONLY the murderer is responsible for what happened.

The knife did not murder or injure people. The car did not murder or injure people and the gun did not murder or injure people. Rodgers did all of that and he used those items to do it.

If a person is determined to do harm there is nothing that can be done to stop him. The fact that he used a knife and a car shows that he did not need the gun to inflict pain and cause mayhem.

[note]Another case where the police knew there was an issue: “Rodger’s family contacted police after discovering social media posts about suicide and killing people, family spokesman and attorney Alan Shifman told reporters Saturday.

Six policemen showed up at Rodger’s home in Isla Vista on April 30, but they found nothing alarming. So they told Rodger[sic] to call his mother and they reassured her that he was OK, according to Astaire.” (Seems to me this might be enough to get a court order to remove any weapons until they were sure he was not unhinged ~ BD)[/note]

There will be more calls for gun control from all kinds of people who don’t really care about the victims. They care only about a political agenda and that agenda includes disarming those who had nothing to do with this (or any other) event. Liberals do not care about the victims and they actually like when these things happen. It allows them to push a false narrative to further their dream of disarming Americans.

All the shooters in these events turn out to be left wing nut jobs so perhaps we should ban liberalism and end the violence.

I pray for the victims but I will never agree that America has a gun problem.

America has a liberal problem, particularly nut job liberals.

A Good Guy With A Gun

A security guard at a McDonald’s in Baltimore (the city that bleeds) shot a man who fired at him inside the restaurant. It is not clear if the security guard was working at the McDonald’s (a sad statement about our society) or there to order a meal. In any event, someone shot at him and he returned fire. The would be murderer is in the hospital and will be charged with attempted murder when he is released. His name will be released at that time.

The security guard was armed as part of his job. He was allowed, under Maryland’s restrictive and unconstitutional gun laws that bar the average citizen from carrying, to carry a gun.

His job saved him and others because if he were some regular Joe he would not have been able to defend himself.

This is how Maryland works. It has a lot of programs to help people like illegal aliens, welfare queens and other Democrat supporters but it refuses to follow the Constitution so that law abiding, not otherwise restricted, people can carry a firearm.

[note]Disarming people is the best way to enslave them to tyranny[/note]

It is fortunate the guard was there (whether he worked there or not) because if he had not been people might have been killed. A criminal does not care about the law so gun laws do not affect him (want to bet that the guy who did this was not allowed to have a gun). Gun laws only affect, AND HURT, law abiding citizens.

Maryland should move to be a Constitutional carry state where people who are not otherwise prohibited (felons, mentally ill) can carry a firearm either concealed or open. If one passes the comprehensive background check (yes, contrary to what liberals tell you, this is required) then that should be sufficient with regard to carry.

Maryland will likely never get to that state because it involves freedom and Maryland is not free at all though, ironically, one of the nicknames of the state is The Free State…

The least Maryland should do (and likely will not without court pressure) is to remove the good and substantial reason to carry a concealed firearm.

Maryland is run by liberals particularly in the city and counties surrounding Baltimore and DC. These places are full of liberals who are enslaved to the government. They vote for liberals so they can keep their hands out to receive the fruits of other’s labor.

If Maryland were truly a free state then people could carry firearms which, in turn, would lower the crime rate. Criminals do not like to face armed opposition. The gunman in the story probably did not expect to see an armed guard. If he had known an armed person was inside he would probably have picked an easier target (and there are plenty of them in Maryland).

Things will not change until the population votes out the liberal cretins who have enslaved the people of the state and as long as liberal politicians plunder from earners to give to the gimmiedats there will be no such vote.

Is it any wonder that Maryland is third on the list of states people (47%) want to LEAVE?

Democrats Have Been Telling Us To Do This To Ourselves All Along

A Rhode Island State Senator named Josh Miller, who is an anti gun (and oath violating) politician was confronted over his anti gun stance by Dan Bidondi of the truth Radio Show. Bidondi said to Miller; “The Second Amendment shall not be infringed, you people need to understand that.” Miller’s response was:

“Go fu*k yourself.”

To make sure it was understood Miller’s photographer leaned in and repeated Miller’s words. Bidondi responded to both men with the same answer; “Good comments sir, thank you.”

Miller has apologized for cursing at the gun rights advocate and said his [Miller’s] words were unjustified. So that makes it all OK, I guess. Truth be told Miller only said what he was feeling.

It should not surprise anyone because this is what Democrats have been telling us to do all along. Oh, they have not used those words but they were certainly implied and any reasonable person can infer them.

How so?

A majority of Americans did NOT want Obamacare, period. The Democrats (and only the Democrats) passed Obamacare so their message was:

“Go fu*k yourself.”

The IRS targeted conservative groups and kept them from having an impact or participating in the last election. This is something that many Americans of all stripes had a problem with. Folks like Elijah Cummings of Maryland are upset that the entire issue is being investigated. His (and their) message to those who did not like it:

“Go fu*k yourself.”

Americans overwhelmingly support the Second Amendment and do not want government infringing on the right protected by that Amendment. Some people in this country are OK with the infringement but the majority is not. Democrats keep pressing for tough, unconstitutional, gun control. Their message to LAW ABIDING gun owners:

“Go fu*k yourself.”

Democrats continually lied when they said if you like your doctor or health care plan you can keep them, PERIOD. When the lie was exposed their message was:

“Go fu*k yourself.”

Americans want energy independence and they want to increase our own production of those resources. They want the Keystone pipeline and they do not want the EPA and the Obama regime getting in the way. The Regime and the EPA keep doing things to keep our production down and our costs up. The message from them:

“Go fu*k yourself.”

The majority of Americans want the debt brought under control. They want limited government, reduced spending and lower taxes. They want social programs reduced and they want jobs so people can pay produce rather than consume money meant to run the government. The government, and this includes members of both parties, has increased the debt ceiling and continues to grow and spend like there is no tomorrow. They now have no ceiling on the debt. Their message to those who pay the bill:

“Go fu*k yourself.”

As you can see this sentiment is not limited to Miller. He was just the one who had the testicular fortitude to say it out loud. But make no mistake, these politicians (particularly Democrats) have been telling you to do this to yourself for a long time.

All of them in the House and a portion of those in the Senate are up for reelection in November as are huge numbers at the state level. These Democrats and their RINO assistants will be campaigning and they will ask you to vote for them so they can continue to do what they have been doing all along. They want you to vote for more of the same.

They want you to vote for them to do to you what they suggest you do to yourself.

But when they come asking for your vote you can respond then and on Election Day by repeating Miller’s words.

Obamacare Is Settled Law, So?

The left keeps telling us Obamacare is settled law and it should be left alone. That is, of course, unless B. Hussein Obama wants to alter it to help his friends. He is OK with granting exemptions and delaying certain provisions that help donors or base groups. He, I might add, is not allowed to change a law but then again the Constitution has never gotten in his way.

To strengthen his argument Obama tells us that John Roberts (an alleged conservative) and the Supreme Court have told us that Obamacare is settled and therefore we must leave it alone.

This guy is supposed to be a Constitutional law professor but he never gets it right. The Supreme Court only stated that Obamacare was Constitutional, not that it had to be left alone. The Court is charged with deciding if something is legal, the Congress is charged with introducing and changing laws and it has that authority no matter how long a law has been in place.

[note]It is also important to point out the SCOTUS violated the Constitution when deciding Obamacare. The Court rewrote the law to make the penalty a tax and thus make it legal under Congress’ taxing authority. The law never calls it a tax; it calls the money a penalty. Remember, Obama was vehement that this was not a tax (until it was).[/note]

In any event, we are supposed to just sit back and allow Obamacare to destroy the nation because it is settled law. Well a funny thing happened on the way to Obamacare, the Democrats who rammed it through are now in a bad position because it is not working and millions of people are losing the plans they like and were promised they could keep. The rollout of the exchanges was a disaster and the website will likely not be working correctly by the end of November as Obama promised. Democrats want to change the law, you know the one that is settled and must be left alone.

When Republicans were debating the budget issues they pushed for many things. One of the compromises was a year delay of the individual mandate. The Democrats refused to negotiate and allowed the government to shut down over the issue. Now that things are going badly many of them (particularly those up for reelection) are seeking a delay of a year in implementing many parts of Obamacare including the individual mandate. Think about it. Democrats refused to do this and allowed the government to (partially) shutdown and now they are asking for it in order to protect them in the next election.

I like the way Obama and his toadies scream about settled law. Why is it that a settled law means nothing to them when they don’t like it?

Case in point, the Second Amendment. The law regarding arms has been settled law since December 15th, 1791 and yet liberals, including Obama, keep trying to change it.

The Second Amendment protects a preexisting right for an individual to keep and bear arms. This is only in dispute from those who want to get rid of firearms. History, SCOTUS rulings and the writings of the Founders all make it perfectly clear that individuals have the right to own and carry firearms for personal protection and any other legal purpose.

But liberals are not happy with this settled law. They want to change it even though it has been in effect just shy of 222 years.

So don’t fall for the mindless prattle of liberals who declare Obamacare settled law that can’t be changed.

You can change any law. Obamacare can be changed by Congress and the President and the Second Amendment can be changed by the people (through the Amendment process).

Ironically, liberal/progressive/socialists want Obamacare upheld and the Second Amendment repealed for the very same reason.

To control people.

[note]This video shows black conservative leaders discussing gun control[/note]

This is how tyrants work. Control people’s lives (like their health care) and remove their means to fight tyranny and you can run roughshod over them.

History is full of examples of this.

Let’s not allow America to be added to that list.
