And the idiot lawyers are at it again, lol. Now they want the judge to allow Davis to continue the ban against issuing licenses, on the grounds that the judge's original order applied to only the couples who sued Davis, and they have since been given licenses [while she was in jail]. The fact...

As much as I disagree with what Davis has done, I don't have the slightest doubt that her beliefs are sincere [and her history is irrelevant]. Miserable? Not at all: she is feeling entirely content to have taken a stand, and there is no shortage of people cheering her for it. They reinforce her...

That was pretty clear when they expressed surprise at her being sent to jail, lol. They claimed they had no warning that the judge might do that - no, really, they said that. With their mouths, to tv and radio people with cameras and microphones and everything! Then they doubled down and said...

Turtle says gays have "precisely the same right to marry as hetero people have", but that's not so. They cannot marry the person they choose to spend the rest of their life with, who is a nonrelated consenting adult, because that person is the same gender. How is that different than being unable...

No, the carrier should not, and for the same reason the government should not accommodate the beliefs of any one person: the number of 'beliefs' [and the ways it infringes upon the person's conscience, according solely to that person] could easily grow to an infinite number - and that's just...

The stated premise implied that those demands would be the kind that deny others their rights, as Davis is doing. And that's the litmus test, for most people: your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins. How is the Supreme's decision 'legislation'? You aren't the one refusing to...

100% American, and keeping up a long tradition of 'borrowing' the good stuff we didn't think of first. ;)

Like it says on the #FreeKimDavis Twitter, Kim Davis isn't Rosa Parks - she's the bus driver who refuses to get off the bus until they stop letting black people get on. That Twitter hashtag is hilarious, BTW. :eek:

Kim Davis is in jail because she refused to obey the order of a judge and do her job or resign. She didn't have to act contrary to her religious values, she could [and should] have given up the job she could no longer do.

The meaning of words has been apt to change ever since people began using words. The word 'gay' didn't mean homosexual when it referred to "The Gay 90's"... The change in accepting homosexuals as regular people, no better or worse than the rest of us, is happening a lot faster than most major...

Special meals, prayer rugs - none of the accommodations listed deny those of different beliefs their rights. The SCOTUS is meant to prevent unconstitutional laws from prevailing, even when they are part of a state's constitution and/or the will of the people. All the identical arguments were...

That judge is just whacked. He claims that individuals are now "apparently authorized to decide when a marriage begins, and evidently, when it ends, without any pesky interference from the government." [Not an exact quote, going from memory] That's just blatant BS - and a very petty...

My favorite comment: a Tweet by Mike Huckabee, saying he's flying to Ky to "stand with Kim Davis" - what a great image, lol. The judge [Brunner] even said Davis could stay out of jail if she promised not to interfere with her deputies handing out licenses, and she said "I'd rather go to jail."...

What he can do is what we all should do: match his deeds to his words. If he believes illegal immigrants are a strain upon our social systems and a threat to our welfare, and he has some [major] influence over who is hired to work on the projects he is involved in, then he should make it clear...

Free college tuition [to qualified candidates, not just everyone] is not a bad idea, if you like investing in the future. I think it would pay better returns than the tax cuts to business that enrich their profits, then their stock price [buybacks, mergers, acquisitions], then the C suite...

How you can misrepresent my comments as an "attack on you and your family" is an exercise in the absurd. You criticized Obama for seeing the Trayvon with "the tats, grills and all" as someone who could have been his own son, as if the things even innocent teenagers do [tats, crazy haircolors...

She seems not to grasp the fact that when on duty, she IS 'the government'. When she's off duty, she can tell gay people how sinful they are all day long, that's the freedom of speech and religion she is entitled to. PS That oath she swore, it specifies "I have not participated in a duel...

Mr Carson said nothing about any thresholds, just the simple "tithe, like the Bible says". And the Bible doesn't mention any thresholds either, so why should that be inferred?

PC is citing statistics as if they prove anything about the people they represent, and their circumstances, lives, and reasons for believing what they believe. It'd be really inconvenient to learn they actually aren't mostly amoral & unemployed killers, wouldn't it? That's why many people don't...

Using the Katrina reference was an acknowledgement that one can certainly see where some would come to think that black lives don't matter. He didn't create racial strife or grievances, they have been there all along, simmering under the surface, ignored by those [white people] in power. Until...
