Of course, people like you don't think anything is wrong with subjugating women, so it's natural that you're dismissive of the consequences of what you're doing. Until you have to pay for it, that is.
Quote:It was never any secret that the family owned Hobby Lobby is deeply rooted in the Christian faith. If any employee has serious issues with that and with their policy convictions against providing drugs which induce abortions, why work there? Forty eight of the fifty states in this country are "At Will" employment states. If employees don't like a company's policies they're free to start searching for other jobs where they'll be happier.
And when every corporation has the right to discriminate against them, what options will they have, then?
Quote:Mid-terms are coming in a few months and I say that the Republicans have a very good chance to re-take the Senate and to add even more seats to the House. This country doesn't feel confident and secure about their about their future with barack and the left.
They may retake Congress this year. Maybe not. If they take the Senate, they'll have two years to show America just how useless Republican government is. In 2016, the Senate will swing right back right along with the White House.
Quote:No. Preserving the Constitutional right of religious liberty. Companies who have religious convictions against abortions will not be forced to pay for them.
I don't recall the Constitution guaranteeing companies any kind of rights at all.
Quote:Last I checked, it's always been the employer who decides on the terms of the medical plans they offer, unless otherwise negotiated in union contracts. If medical benefits are a major concern for people seeking work then they should look for jobs with companies that offer plans they can be happy with.
Last I checked, the employee earns those benefits as a part of their pay, which is now being withheld from certain people for an entirely arbitrary reason.
Quote:I I have convictions against paying for wars too, as probably everybody does. But we don't live in a kind of bubble world where far-left naivity is going to make it safe enough for our country not to have a prepared military.
We live in a world in which our military spending is vastly greater than is justifiable for national defense.

Just wondering.
That's always a tricky question to ask a wingnut, because they don't even understand the paradigm. Can't think of a single one that admits, for instance, the fact that fascism is an extreme right-wing ideology.
In any case, if you think Obama is a socialist or a Marxist, your idea of a 'moderate leftist' is John Boner or Eric Cantor.
