LMAO!! I love that.

And, I agree with you. I can't stand Hobby Lobby; but I couldn't stand them before this decision. The people (mostly women) that shop there will continue to shop there because they don't give a shit about anything except that HL is a religious corporation.

Joining the boycott is very easy for us here at DU. But, again. The people that shop there do not care and will continue to shop there.

Here's a question I have, and granted; I haven't dug into it since the decision. What are the employees of HL doing? Are they protesting? Are they writing letters and petitions to HL? They damn sure need to be.

What I will do, that I can control, is be sure I know where every single candidate stands come November on this decision. I will vote accordingly. Unfortunately, that doesn't even matter in my red state but I'll do what I can.
