In the wake of the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision, as Tom Trinko at the American Thinker so succinctly puts it in a piece titled “The New King George,” folks… we Americans are one lawyer away from losing our right to practice our religion.
Because, essentially, the four dissenting justices ~
… have said that employers have no religious freedom. If an employee wants something, then the employer must provide it despite the employer’s religious beliefs.
As Trinko explains the leftist position – so that even a drone can understand it ~
If you want to go fishing you can’t expect your company to provide you with a boat. Instead, you take part of your salary and buy a boat. The same applies if you want a bigger TV or to go to a football game. But somehow, if someone wants to enjoy themselves by having sex, liberals believe that their employer has to provide them with contraceptives.
No one has died from being celibate; contraception is not necessary healthcare.
The faulty logic of the leftie justices is fairly obvious ~
In their stampede to curtail inconvenient religious liberties in America, where “inconvenience” is defined as being out of step with liberal thinking, the liberal judges have “forgotten” some of their core beliefs — diversity and tolerance.
According to four Supreme Court justices, we can’t have a diversity of business benefit packages and we can’t tolerate any business that does not toe the liberal line on abortion […]
The rejection of true religious liberty by the four liberal Justices is the latest indication of the tyrannical roots of modern liberalism. Modern liberals believe that the full power of the state can, and should, be used to impose the practices liberals’ support on all people.
Which, as Trinko points out, sounds an awful lot like England’s monarch in the late 1700’s ~
In America today, we face a new imperial threat. While King George is long gone, a new set of oppressors that believe, as George did, in the top-down authority of the government and the lack of rights of individuals has grown so strong as to threaten the very basis of liberty in America.
