3. Capital 'H' is not for Hobby, it is for Hypocrite.

Look at it this way ...

Hobby Lobby buys and imports massive quantities of products made in Communist China. Indeed, a large portion of the arts, crafts and decor products it sells are made exclusively for Hobby Lobby by Chinese laborers.

Of course, these sweat shops in China for the most part are run by or are in partnership with the government of Communist China.

Hobby Lobby really is paying a lot of money to support the Chinese government and its one-child policy (the recent announcement of a change was nominal) that essentially mandates abortion and all kinds of contraception.

So, by shopping at Hobby Lobby, you are actually enabling and encouraging forced abortion and contraception for hundreds and thousands of Chinese women. Ironic, uh?

All to the point that Hobby Lobby owner/founder/CEO David Green is one of the biggest hypocrites in the United States. It seems that he gets 'religion' only when he thinks it might affect his bottom-line.

Indeed, Green infamously wrote either last year or earlier this year that: "... honoring God is more important than turning a profit."

David Green is a LIAR.

Green and Hobby Lobby are entirely dependent upon turning a profit by selling Chinese-made products -- products made under a regime that officially is atheist and pro-abortion.
