Daily Kos. Did you sign the boycott Hobby Lobby pledge?!? lol


Daily Kos, the proggy prop site of the left wing morons. Those advocating the boycott of HL over the SCOTUS decision are the low information voters the party of demise is seeking to bolster their base. Anyone who does not understand that HL is in favor of covering all birth control methods, except the baby killers, is uninformed and creating a bunch of false outrage. It's what the left do. They are pro life and if women have a problem with that, don't work there. If you can't get your fetus killing drugs, go buy them elsewhere....their cheap. Of course if you're of the entitlement mentality, these things should be free, or else you hate women or are a biggot.

There are alternative suppliers for all those products (that I would actually buy).
This is fine by me...but please be advised that you'll likely have to pay a little more for alternative products to exercise your political outrage against the evil Koch brothers. However, this assumes that they don't own or supply boxes to any of the vegetable truck farms in your area. We all know where you stand on paying a little more for vegetables...even if it means a fair wage for the migrant workers who harvest your food.

SCOTUS disagrees with you.

And rightly so. Its more like a gift card. Don't be all butt-hurt when your Walmart hating relative gets you a Target giftcard and you can't use it at Walmart.

Actually no they didn't. They ruled the way they did because the ACA requirements didn't offer the least burdensome option, that's it, it's why they stipulated that this ruling only applied to this particular religious belief. Had the ACA not had provisions for religious non profits to avoid covering things against their beliefs, the ruling would have been different.

Unfortunately idiots such as yourself who come up with poor analogies are trying to turn this ruling into something it's not.

Your analogy would be more accurate if you were given a gift card to target for work you did but then they said you can only spend it on barbies. Just like how you are given a 401k, you can do what you want with it so long as it's in the limits of the 401k. Guess who determines those limits? The third party managing the 401k. Guess who has to follow regulations pertaining to 401ks? The third party managing it. Now apply this to health care, it's a form of compensation (you would know this if you held a job because employers always like to trot out how much you are really being paid by showing you all the benefits, like HC, they pay for) and who manages your health care? The insurance company, they are the ones who say what you can and can't do, they are the ones who are obligated to comply with regulations.

I see you believe in a two party state that voting one out for the other means something. How much of our govt has been rolled back in the past 80 years exactly?

Now, how many times has Koch forced me or you to buy a product from them?

So in other words, you don't get the point.

(1) Employees are free to purchase whatever BC they want with their own money

(2) How many employees have the Koch brothers fired for supporting liberal causes... yeah that is what I thought. Whereas it is a demonstrated fact that liberals like to get people fired for supporting conservative causes.

Lots they have used thier unfluenc $$ to get some PBS shows that are critical to them cancled. which would of hired a lot of folks to produce. Some liberal and maybe some not.

They're free to turn down Koch money and make their documentary.

Oh, they like money?

How about that. PBS is greedy, just like the Koch's.
