Kim Davis released from Jail...

Yes, Huckabee says you should only obey laws that are right..:rolleyes: He is also the one that wanted to send gays to a relocation camp.

He and Cruz are both crazy scary.

Agreed. I'm rooting for Trump as the least scary, but I'm terrified that they may be able to herd enough of these types to the polls to actually elect him. The rest of the world must be :rofl:. Sometimes I find my advanced age very comforting.

LOL..I understand, completely.
 
The condition of her being released is to not interfere with the assistants who are issuing licenses. This is like betting that a frog won't croak. I would give her 24 hours and she will be firing the clerks who do issue licenses and hiring replacements that won't.

This episode of "Evangelicals Evil Effect on Everyone" is long from over.
 
Allowing her to stay in that position is setting a dangerous precedent, this is so wrong for her to continue being employed by the government when she can't carry out the duties of the job. Part of her job is to issue licenses to the people under the legal qualifications of the laws the job is governed by it's not an optional part of the job's requirements.

How does it apply for the job she is hired to do? She can asked to be moved to another position if she can't carry out the duties of the job, you don't get to refuse to perform job's duties based on religious convictions, you do get a choice to be reassigned though.

Agreed and Understood, April. I sought reaction, and got it! I guess I chose an appropriate user name, eh? :rolleyes: imp
 
She's making 80 grand in Kentucky and I don't make that as a RN in California.

She should be grateful to have that job and should carry it out. I'm sick of being on my feet all day.

She paraded out of that jail like a rock star.
 
I assume Miss Davis follows the Bible. In Mark 12:17, it says "Render to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser". Now that is specifically referring to paying your taxes but more generally it is also saying to obey the governing laws of the land. She is not willing to fully follow her faith because she's only refusing to "render to Ceaser what is Ceaser's" instead of removing herself from a job that goes against God's will. Refusing her job, quitting, is the only way to obey the Bible. She would be obeying the government and obeying God if she quit. She just isn't willing to give up $80,000 a yr pay.

It really irks me that she's being viewed by some as some kind of hero. And then Huckabee, on a stage as she walks out, says to the crowd, "May I introduce to you…yada yada" like she's some kind of celebrity for disobeying the government.
 
Sad when opportunists twist the bible for their own ends, while espousing their fundamentalist principals. The hypocrisy is blatant. It must make many Christians cringe. For Kim, thirty pieces of silver were insufficient, 80k would seem to be her price.
 
Looks like Cruz and Huckabee were fighting over her yesterday.. Isn't there enough of the little darlin' to go around? Wonder if they would stand up for a Muslim official if they decided to exercise their "religious freedom" and not issue liquor licenses. ??

Yes, I read about this....Huckabee aids blocked Cruz from getting in front of cameras with Kim, so there was only Huckabee and her lawyer with their arm around her...

Maybe they could make her a meter maid or something. That might be a good job for her. Then she wouldn't have to deal with those pesky licenses that she doesn't approve of.
 
I was just listening to the news and she's going back to her office. When asked if she was ready to perform her job now, she mentioned she just might be going back to jail. Okay she's an elected official but can't somebody impeach her?
 
Last night Kimmel showed a clip of Kim Davis getting out of jail with her fists raised in victory (?? huh) :confused: and "Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky was playing.

I was also listening to The View this morning and one of the moderators (Paula Faris, weekend GMA anchor) addressed Kim Davis' 4 marriages and affairs/adultery by saying "well, that was before she became a born-again Christian". (Paul was serious, and went into a diatribe about how she herself is born-again.) You can imagine the look on Joy Behar's face.
 
Oh my, Huckabee said he's willing to go to jail in her place if she has to go back to jail. Um, that's inevitable because the court says she MUST issue marriage licenses still and will return to jail if she doesn't. That really irked me when she raised her fists like she's "Rosie the Riveter". It's going to her head. Jesus never did that.

Huckabee and Cruz are betting on Christian support for their own causes as a result of their touting this Davis person. I believe there are as many Christians who feel she is wrong as believe she is right.
