Hobby Lobby Invests $73 Million in Abortion Drug Manufacturers
The Green family’s religious beliefs are more of a weekend hobby.
Apparently Hobby Lobby doesn’t allow its religious beliefs to interfere with an insatiable thirst for more money. Mother Jones in April of 2014 reveals corporations are not only human, they’re often self righteous charlatans who have no problem making money off the very medical procedures and products they deny their own employees.
Molly Reddin authored the investigative piece examining Hobby Lobby’s $73 million holdings in mutual funds that invest in companies that not only manufacture contraception but the very same abortion inducing drugs used by Planned Parenthood.
Reddin poured over Hobby Lobby’s 401K for employees filed with the Department of Labor in 2012. Reddin writes.
Several of the mutual funds in Hobby Lobby’s retirement plan have stock holdings in companies that manufacture the specific drugs and devices that the Green family, which owns Hobby Lobby, is fighting to keep out of Hobby Lobby’s health care policies: the emergency contraceptive pills Plan B and Ella, and copper and hormonal intrauterine devices.
Reddin says Hobby Lobby’s investments are also in pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Forest Laboratories that earn millions off drugs used by doctors to induce abortions. She writes that Hobby Lobby also has holdings in healthcare giants like Aetna and Humana which offer insurance plans that include surgical abortion, contraception as well as the Morning After Pill also known as Plan B.
I guess the Green family’s religious beliefs are more of a weekend hobby.

Grand Dragon of KKK Kicked Off Philadelphia’s Neighborhood Watch Committee Says He Will Sue
Tacony is one of Philadelphia’s oldest neighborhoods sitting upon the Delaware River ten miles from downtown. Up until his troubles began a few weeks back, William Walters served as a Republican committeeman for the 65th Ward of Tacony. That’s because he cares about his community. In fact William Walters cares so much about his community he also served on Tacony’s Neighborhood Watch committee.
But, Phillymag.com reports, this year members of the Tacony Neighborhood Watch committee insisted William Walters turn in his badge all because they recently discovered that William Walters had too much on his plate. Turned out that besides being on Neighborhood Watch, and acting as a Republican committeeman, William Walters for the past thirty years was also serving a third civic organization as the Grand Dragon of Philadelphia’s chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. William Walters was burning the cross at both ends.
William Walters is asking the ACLU to help him sue the Neighborhood Watch committee.
William Walters doesn’t think it’s fair he got kicked off the Neighborhood Watch committee. He says he’s being persecuted. And if anybody’s an expert on persecution it’s the Grand Dragon of Philadelphia’s KKK. William Walters says the KKK is simply misunderstood. William Walters, did I mention he’s also a Republican committeeman?, Walters insists that the KKK is a “Christian organization.” He says he’s planning to sue.
Perhaps William Walters should move to Sanford, Florida. That’s where George Zimmerman was also kicked off his Neighborhood Watch committee, but he still got to keep his gun and patrol the area freelance style. Zimmerman also got to shoot and kill Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, and then get celebrated as a hero by Republicans who were generous enough to pay his legal bills.
Better yet, if William Walters still misses Philadelphia, he should move to Philadelphia, Mississippi where 50 years ago this month members of his conservative “Christian” group, no not the Republican party, that other conservative “Christian” group he belongs to, put on their white hoods and dragged three Civil Rights Workers, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner into the back woods and murdered them.
As a Republican committeeman William Walters would also appreciate Philadelphia, Mississippi as the spot where Ronald Reagan kicked off his run for President on August 3, 1980 at the Neshoba County Fair right there in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
Ronald Reagan chose Philadelphia, Mississippi, one of the key focal points of KKK activity, to launch his presidential campaign because he was signaling all the racists in the south that the GOP is open for business. Reagan’s Southern strategy remains a resounding success to this day as the GOP’s core constituency continues to be the old confederacy.
Reagan picked Philadelphia, Mississippi to kick off his campaign as a dog whistle for racists.
Republicans can claim to be a big tent, but truth is they are a party solely for “Christian” bigots, which, according to my reading of the Gospels, is oxymoronic. There simply is no room in the GOP tent for black people or anybody who isn’t Christian.
Senator Tim Scott from South Carolina is the only black Republican serving in Washington, DC. Senator Scott just like that other senator from South Carolina Lindsay Graham is all about family values, and just like Lindsay Graham Senator Scott doesn’t have a family either. What is it about Republican Senators from South Carolina not being able to find the right girl and settling down? I wonder if Senator Tim Scott is a closeted homosexual just like Senator Lindsay Graham. It must be tough being a bigot when you’re gay, African American or maybe both.
Well, anyway, Senator Tim Scott is the only black Republican in Washington, and once Majority Leader Eric Cantor leaves next year every single Republican in both houses of Congress will call themselves Christian even though Jesus wouldn’t dare.
Which brings me back to William Walters who is wrong about everything he believes. Although he is right about one thing. William Walters’ work as Grand Dragon of the KKK will in no way infringe upon his ability to be a loyal Republican.
No Truth To Today’s Rumor That DEA Will Legalize Marijuana
Rumors about the DEA’s plans to legalize marijuana are DOA.
Rumors began spreading today that the DEA is seriously considering the legalization of marijuana. The truth is they are far from even decriminalizing it. To put it another way: Talk of the DEA legalizing marijuana is DOA.
The rumor spread after bloggers circulated a barely noticed story from last week in Bloomberg reporting that the DEA might, key work “might,” urge for the reclassification of marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug.
Quick primer: Marijuana is currently listed as a Schedule 1 drug meaning federal statutes classify it as highly addictive while providing absolutely no medical purpose.
The DEA, according to Bloomberg, has once again asked the Food And Drug Administration to conduct a thorough analysis of pot’s properties and then make a recommendation as to whether or not pot’s Schedule 1 status should be downgraded. That doesn’t mean legalization, not even decriminalization. It simply means pot could, could, be downgraded to a Schedule 2 drug.
So before everybody whips out their pipes to celebrate, it’s important to remember the FDA performed a similar analysis for the DEA back in 2001 and 2006. Both times the FDA came back with the recommendation to keep marijuana’s status as a Schedule 1.
Wishful thinking dictates that with 22 states now allowing medicinal marijuana and 2 states permitting recreational use, coupled with calls from congress to defund any DEA expenditures spent to enforce marijuana laws, the FDA could come back this time with a different recommendation. Highly doubtful.
