A link to the ad would be really helpful, here, to form my own opinion.

Just be White and you'll be fine

Religion is a protected class. You can't be fired over your religious beliefs. Maybe you and your lawyer should look that up.

I bet he blames Obama for this too. Seriously though the SCOTUS may have opened a door on this "corporations are people too" and "people can have religion" therefore "a corporation might have a constitutional right of religion" with the Hobby Lobby decision.
