Seth Rogan Is Right

Seth RoganSeth called the Hobby Lobby people and those supporting them assholes. I would have been somewhat more nuanced than Seth. I see them as ignorant, pretentious assholes.

The conservative “brain bust trust” on the Supreme Court of Wall Street will need to add several like-minded noggins to the mix to reach the double-digit range for collective IQ.

They flatter themselves with meaningless, ridiculous appellations. ‘Strict constructionist’ comes to mind. They wallow deliriously in the fantasy that some of the lustre of the Founders will thereby make them appear credible. Oh, ye of little learning.

The Founders realized that changes in the Constitution would be necessary. They created mechanisms for that very reason. The hubris of these pretenders is appalling; it is repulsive. If only they were sufficiently educated to be embarrassed by such inanities. Willie Shakespeare’s Hamlet nailed them,  “They have a plentiful lack of wit.”

Peyote CeremonyThe Amish were not permitted to use their religion as an excuse for refusing hang orange safety signs on their buggies. The State of Louisiana was not permitted to require creationism to be taught in public schools. Native Americans were not given permission to use peyote as a part of their religious practice. But now we see five members of the Court impose a tenet of the Catholic church on everyone. Those five just happen to be Catholics themselves. Ah, but that’s just a coincidence,  I’m sure.

The issue at hand is not really a corporate one. It is a female one. So, naturally, all of the women on the Court opposed it. Five men, putative Christians, completely lacking in standing or credentials in such matters, follow tradition: that oh so holy Catholic habit of imposing their will on Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Sarah Baker However, the fake Christians of corporate religion were deemed worthy of affirmation for their specious  claims. What made the difference? Could it be that religious tyranny only comes into play when female sexual activity is the issue?

Or, is the Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court correct in his opinion that the 1st Amendment protects only Christians? How did he fail to get appointed to the Supreme Court of Wall Street?

The 1st Amendment prohibits making a law establishing a religion. Giving religious rights to a corporation is, simply, a prima facie violation by the Court itself. To give any religious rights to any one (or any thing) is, in and of itself an act of establishment. Burning the Constitution

Perhaps we should next address the failure of the Court to recognize that the 1st Amendment is not the only one to receive consideration. Though the right of privacy is not specifically enunciated in the Constitution, time after time the courts have insisted that it is there by implication and that many other rights cannot be sustained without the right of privacy. In some senses it is the premier right, the most basic of all. Less simpleminded men might realize that how and to what extent the various rights apply must conform to the particular issues at hand.

For the bozos on the court to pretend that the religious rights of a non-human under the 1st Amendment bar consideration of other rights is simply the result of the stupidity of the majority. They gave to the corporation rights which no sane person could agree with at the expense of the right of women to their medical and social privacy and the obligation of the government to ensure the welfare of its citizenry.

The law, and particularly the Constitution, should not be arbitrary. This abortion of a court found that Hobby Lobby was exempt from the law because it was primarily a “closely held” corporation. They defined what qualified as a “closely held” corporation. The parameters they fabricated define arbitrary. It might have been a tad more seemly for these clowns to have specified how frequently a corporation needs to attend church or synagogue to qualify a a religious entity.

Then there is the little matter of civilization. Were everyone free to behave in any manner they choose; to treat others as they please; to pick and choose which laws to observe, chaos would reign. Civilization demands that everyone observe limits to their own behavior, especially as regards others.

eeny_meeny_miny_moeNot only do these cafeteria Christians wish to pick and choose which religious tenets to follow, they also demand the right to pick and choose which laws they are willing to obey, even at the expense of maintaining the rights of others. In essence, they admit of no bounds that should be placed on themselves.

If they really accepted the entire Bible as the word of God, they would follow his commandments. There just happens to be one that requires them to kill anyone who disagrees with their religious beliefs, even a brother. Hypocrites.

These are not Christians. These people refuse to subscribe to the ideals of this nation. They are sociopaths. They are spoiled brats. Seth is right: they are assholes. I am right: they are ignorant, pretentious assholes.
