Hobby Lobby’s Register-Guard ad explored
The full-page ad that was made on Register-Guard was first shared by a Twitter user named Captain Tono. She wrote: “Hobby lobby took out a full-page ad in the Register-Guard this morning. Talking about how America should only be led by Christians. Absolutely frightening. Please remember that Michaels, Joanns & your local craft/hobby shops are always an excellent place to spend your money.”
The ad showed a picture of a child wearing the American flag, and along with it, “One Nation Under God” was written, with “Under God” being in bold.
I’ve only gone to hobby lobby the last few years because it’s the closest craft store I have that’s not insanely overpriced(no michaels and the local joanns is overpriced and run by really rude people).
But I think I’m done. I don’t go there often. But I’m done.

Below it, the ad noted: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Psalm 33:12.” The ad continued to have different subheadings. These included: “President, Finding Fathers, Supreme Court Justices, Congress, Education, Supreme Court Rulings, and Foreign Opinion.”
Under each subhead, the ad noted some of the quotes said by people who belong in that category. For instance, the “President” section contained a quote made by Thomas Jefferson, while the “Founding Fathers” section had a quote from Jedidiah Morse.

Some suggested they won’t be visiting the store anymore.

A reminder not to shop at Hobby Lobby as they continue to spread false history in the name of bigotry. Also, shame on any newspaper group that still takes money to spread this bigotry. Was January 6 not enough?
