The Supreme Court’s ruling in the Hobby Lobby case was just too close to theocracy for some sharp minds on Twitter. So they responded with new, sarcastic, and biting memes to illustrate their anger.
It didn’t take long for liberals and progressives to take to Twitter after yesterday’s Hobby Lobby ruling filled them with anger, frustration, shock, and exasperation. Tweets were flying and liberal vs. conservative battles were waged. Two of the sharpest and spot-on memes were born, #DrHobbyLobby and #BoycottHobbyLobby, and the Left had a field day.

These awesome tweets capture what folks on the Left are feeling.

#DrHobbyLobby, I’d like to craft something coarse and shaming to conceal my pubescent daughter’s ladyparts. Should I crochet or latch-hook?
