In reply to the discussion: Crafters United Against Hobby Lobby [View all]NanceGreggs
(27,813 posts)53. Exposing the hypocrisy ...
... is key.
One of the crafter sites I am active on tends to be comprised of right-leaning, older, conservative women. When the HL discussion began, many were of the "nice to see good Christians standing up for their religious beliefs" train of thought.
After others posted the facts about HL's business ties with China, and the facts about their investments in companies that manufacture/produce BC pharmaceuticals and devices, many of those same women responded with, "Oh, dear Lord - I didn't know that. I see things quite differently now."
I doubt that Hobby Lobby will go bankrupt - but putting a dent in their bottom line will serve as an example of the financial consequences of blatant hypocrisy.
