Speaking of Hobby Lobby:

[leftyladyfrommo]

I was in a Hobby Lobby store yesterday. They had their Xmas ornaments all hanging on racks - thousands of them of every color and make. And most of them were from China - or Taiwan (I saw a few from Taiwan).

So how are you super pro God and Country and buy most of the product you sell from China?

I don't get how that works.

1. Does this mean the Chinese are the chosen people?

I'm confused...way to go Hobby Lobby! Now my head hurts!

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. They were certainly chosen in this instance

to supply millions of Xmas ornaments - $3.99 and up - to the Right Wing American Public.

3. I will miss the sewing department.

HL & Walmart - the only two close shops with a sewing dept.

Oh well.

4. I'm thinking about not buying anything from Hobby Lobby and driving 45 miles to a

Michael's store. And I send hundreds of dollars a year on crafts, sewing, and cake decorating.

One of the responders on this thread asks a fascinating question: If Hobby Lobby is so anti-choice, why are they buying most of their stuff from China -- a country that has force abortions?

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. If you a racist you really wouldn't care how many Chinese

abortions there were - just one less Chinese to worry about.

7. Greed and Hipocrisy

That's all you need to know about the right-wing wacko christians.

9. That was me. I wondered why this point hadn't been brought up.

I haven't stepped foot in a hobby lobby in years, but from what I remember, it's all the same type of stuff they sell at any other home decorating store. And it all comes from china or other countries. Maybe a bit is made in the USA.

It's all about the money.

8. It doesn't work. I've saved a lot of money by putting things back because I didn't see "USA".
