Hurray, let's take everything we've built and run it into the ground to make some ambiguous and ephemeral point that no one will get. Let's fire all our employees (who may think just like us when it comes to political outlook), possibly dooming some of them to short or long term poverty. That will most certainly get them to move away from the government teet and big government in general. And let's not forget all the regular folks out there that will be directly, negatively impacted by our decisions. That will make them agree with us for sure.
The first thing the drama llamas here need to realize is that "going Galt" and detaching isn't produce some Randian paradise or otherwise fix society's problems. Most likely it's going to hasten a period of crisis that will likely begin with you and your assets being consumed by the mob. The long term outcome won't be a better world though. It will be a society that enjoys a lower standard of living and a lower utility with regard to personal happiness. You will get blamed (and to some degree rightly so) and it will be years if not decades until things return to the level they once were if they ever even do (since there are always other factors like larger geopolitical forces at play that may prevent such a resurgence see Rome). The solution is to get more plugged in, not detached. |

What I'm saying is, if he is true to his convictions, he will simply shut it down otherwise, there's a point where the dollar bills eclipse his convictions. If he feels as if he is being forced to do something against his will under penalty of law, then he needs to simply walk away. Is he a man of principle, or is he a man of dollars? CVN |

Quoted: My company is progun. Should we close up if they pass an AWB? Not quite the same Bama-Shooter...unless you think that gun ownership is some sort of religious principle (boy am I leaving myself open here on arfcom for that one). The story I read said that Hobby Lobby was objecting to Obamacare on religious grounds, and did not want to be forced to pay for certain treatments/procedures. Hobby Lobby lost the law suit. My statement was simple. If they REALLY do believe this, and are willing to put their principles on the line, then shut it down...other wise, I see them as doing nothing but grandstanding, and using the name of religion to make some sort of stupid point. Personally, I am about as fundamentalist a Christian as there is. I am pro-life. I have voted for ONE Democrat in my life (against David Duke when he ran for governor in Louisiana in the early 90's), and am the kind of guy that tends to worry about the speck in my own eye before picking at the beam in anothers, IOW, I don't see a need to legislate religious views. I am simply saying that if Hobby Lobby is truly devout, and cannot find a legal way around this, then he needs to shut the doors and stick to his faith. Nothing more, nothing less. CVN |

Something has to give, and the dictator is counting that thing being you. Make them martyr your ass and make sure the public sees it. The more companies they break and the more people who are left jobless by them, the worse it is for them. Going out of business on your terms makes you look bad.

Quoted: Translation: If you don't agree with me shut your mouth or just go away, I don't care which. I think the OP is articulating his point poorly, but I agree with it in that if your moral objections to abortive or procreative treatments mean that they're violating your religious beliefs to such a degree, then continued operation (under force of law) equals you knowingly giving abortive care or whatever to your employees - and that the life that's so sacred has taken a back seat to the continued operation ($$) of your business. If it's saving lives, and you truly believe that (which is fine, btw), then don't continue to operate and allow lives to be taken. In an extreme example but imagine this - if you believe strongly that the death penalty is wrong, unconscionable, but your business is hooking up electric chairs for the state - it's not unreasonable to object by finding another line of work rather than having a direct hand in the moral choice you find to be so wrong. Hobby Lobby should take their marbles and go home if they feel providing these services against their will amounts to murder, or aren't they taking some small part in these murders? It's an honest criticism. |

Yes, because standing up for liberty is hypocritical.
[/div] Standing up for it is great. But, they've lost the legal battle and now must provide the care they believe is wrong. Continuing to provide it isn't standing up to tyranny anymore, is it? [/div] They have not lost the legal battle as it is still ongoing. There will be appeals. Some companies have won. This will not be settled till it hits scotus. Edit: I fail at editing this tag stuff!  |

For now, they've lost but let's speed ahead till the USSC rules predictably (they're on a roll lately) and mandates that Hobby Lobby must provide these services. What then? Either you choose to fund these services, or you don't. The question is are your moral objections to it stronger than your line of work? |

I urge you, if you TRULY believe that your conscience is being violated by Obama care, and are not just grandstanding to make some stupid political statement and look like a braying ass, if you truly do believe that all life is sacred and are willing to put your pro-life money where your mouth is, then I urge you to do the following: Close your doors. Yep, you heard me, close your doors, shut it down, wind things up, and walk away. Don't sell your assets to someone else. Don't transfer the business. Just shut it down and walk away. If you're not willing to put it all on the line for what you truly believe, then you're doing nothing but making an ass of yourself. Grow a pair, and walk away, knowing your conscience is clear. CVN Be a quitter! That will show them!! REALLY? this guy didn't think this one out. |

And since it is not finalize what you ask is hypothetical. Cross the bridge once we get there. |
