Poor Kim Davis, whatcha gonna do? — Page 7

I'm paraphrasing Betty Bowers here, but you get the idea:

Saying that jailing Kim Davis is "criminalizing Christianity" is like saying that jailing drunk drivers is criminalizing alcohol.

Davis compared herself to MLK.

It's going to be hard on her when people stop paying attention and move on to the next Outrage Du Jour.

Din't read back all the way but I heard she's getting a Huckabee visit. Cruz and Fiorino sent love letters, anyone sensing desperation?

I read that her husband wants the governor to intervene since his wife was "imprisoned illegally" and he supposedly said that the gov needed to either due his job or resign. Oh, the irony.

I’ve been viewing this story from afar with great interest and not a little incredulity. I hope you don’t mind the ramblings of a limey on this story.

In the UK we do not have elected officials who carry out local authority policy (our M.P’s or councillors make policy, but hired officials carry it out). There have been cases here of hired officials such as registrars refusing to do civil partnerships because they are crazy christers, they are usually shunted into another job to avoid the confrontation, or they resign their post. They cannot obstruct the law or judicial decisions.

Davis is right to say that in the Bible Jesus said marriage was between man and woman. He also said marriage made two people one and they were inseparable, (Ms Davis has I think tested this one quite a few times) I paraphrase, but maybe so did St John. But, Jesus also gave his followers the biggest cop out of all time as in “turn the other cheek” or even “pay unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s” but clearly she is choosing to pick a fight to reap the rewards of the pieces of silver she will make.

She and all the GOP cronies assert that her right to religious freedom is under attack. No it’s not, she can believe in the teachings of a green frog glove puppet if she likes, as long as she does her job. One good comparison I have read is that of a county clerk refusing to issue a gun license because it is against the word of god to kill someone and a gun makes that possible.

This cynical old queen sees a fight being picked here and I suspect Ms Davis is being put up as a sort of martyr, Christians have a track record on this score.

Only last night, I watched again the film “Milk”, Harvey and those around in the 1970’s faced the same religious dogma. Whatever happened to Anita Bryant? (apparently Uma Thurman is being lined up to do her in a bio-pic!)

Of course, nothing is new, we had a similar situation here in England in 1532 when Sir Thomas Moore refused to acknowledge Henry VIII as supreme head of the Church of England. He cited religious beliefs as well. Like Kim Davis he was imprisoned, then had his head chopped off, worse still he was played by Charlton Heston in a bio-pic.

Her lawyers have a long history of supporting anti-gay causes, but they can't seem to decide how the law actually works: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2015/09/05/should-elected-officials-have-to-obey-the-law-liberty-counsel-cant-decide/

HA-HA!

OK, when the ENTIRE PANEL on Fox News, the channel that thinks there is a War on Christmas every year, all come down against Kim Davis's legal team, there isn't much hope...

Priceless!

Honestly- the judge was smart to jail her. A fine would've been raised and paid off in no time- and then what? She continues to refuse to issue licenses and it keeps on going?
