Hobby Lobby Doesn't Cater to 'Our People' - Speak Out - Marlboro-ColtsNeck, NJ Patch

Hobby Lobby Doesn’t Cater to ‘Our People’ - Speak Out - Marlboro-ColtsNeck, NJ Patch

Business • September 2013 • Views: 2,393

When one of our friends asked where the Chanukah goods were, was told there wouldn’t be any, and asked why. According to her, the answer was:

“We don’t cater to you people”

Understandably irate, she called the home office, and was told, indifferently, that hobby lobby doesn’t have Chanukah on its list of holidays.

Having heard this, and always wanting to be certain of what I write about, I just called the Marlboro hobby lobby and asked whether it would be stocking any Chanukah merchandise. I was told it would not. When I asked why, the answer - verbatim - was:

“Because Mr. Green is the owner of the company, he’s a Christian, and those are his values”

You can find Chanukah crafts at the Zionist Mall.

Hobby Lobby sucks.

I don’t think we have Hobby Lobby around here. Which is too bad, because I can’t boycott what isn’t here.

I bet the right wing, despite their support of the settlements and Israel’s hard right(which has very little to do with support Jewish issues and everything to do with their End Times), will see no problem at all with this. Most still see Jews very much the way Anne Coulter does: inferior to christians. Christ Killers. Can only be saved if they are Born Again, especially by the End Times. Otherwise, they all deserve to contribute to that two meter high river of Jewish and Arab blood. Is it 2 meters? I can’t remember.

As a Christian, this bothers me, because as far as I’m concerned they had the Holy Land first. THEY were God’s chosen people and built the land of Israel for millenia before Jesus came along.

I have tremendous respect for the Jewish religion and Jewish people. Just yesterday I was thinking how awesome it would be to share a table and prayer with VB.

I bet that Hobby Lobby is a Muslamic fascist organization under the aegis of President Barack Hussein Obamacare.

You don’t have to bet that, they clearly do see Jews that way and it’s disgusting.

While there are Hobby Lobby locations within 30 miles of me, since I don’t frequent them, the point of a boycott is moot.

Never forget: The Religious Right’s constant whining and pouting about ‘religious freedom’ is intended to enact this very same thing on a broad national scale: To bring back the days of ‘we don’t serve your kind here’.

It will never make any sense to me. I will never understand why a purported adult would willingly sacrifice their own opportunity for profit to appease an invisible skydad/skymom/skyparents.

When children have imaginary friends, it’s considered a phase, and we generally decide that something should be done about it once they reach a certain age. When adults have imaginary friends, we call it Religion and use it as a basis for all sorts of nastiness towards each other.
