GOP congressman: Hobby Lobby case is proof liberals want ‘Stone Age tribalism’

By Eric W. Dolan

The Hobby Lobby case is proof that liberals adhere a caveman ideology, according to Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX).

Following the Supreme Court’s ruling last week, the Texas congressman released a statement claiming that liberals who wanted businesses to provide contraception coverage for their employees were trying to drag the nation back to the Stone Age.

“I applaud the Supreme Court for upholding the fundamental freedoms our Founding Fathers sought to protect and secure in our nation’s founding documents,” Stockman said in a statement.

In their ruling, the Supreme Court held that the government could not require closely held corporations with religious owners to provide health insurance plans that included birth control.

and completely unworthy of civil rights and equal treatment under the law. It's proof that corporations have been given the civil rights that have been stripped from half the human race, the female half.

It's proof the Republican Party is the deadly enemy of all women in this country, whether or not they're aware enough to realize it.

It's proof that you need to be defeated, humiliated, stripped of power and property, and left to wander for the rest of your life, the words "what happened?" as the only ones you will ever speak again.

and throw it back at us.

It doesn't make logical sense when they do that, but their followers go along with it.

But if you asked them to explain it, they probably couldn't.

Stone Age lasted from about 3.4 million year agos to 2000/6000 years ago. How is that going to work for him when the "Dinosaurs walked with men" people have to vote this fall.

Given their many public statements about their sentiments regarding women, I'd say that they are talking about themselves, NOT liberals!
