We’ll never know if she had to think long and hard about what she was doing. Surely she read her job description? How she came to the conclusion that this was what she had to do is certainly befuddling.

I wonder, did she understand the duties of the position when she ran for office. Does her religion allow her to overthrow the U.S. government and begin her own country in KY?

Isn’t it amazing? All she had to do was resign. But, noooooooo, to quote Steve Martin.

I may not like how the Supreme Court has been ruling but I still have to live by the decisions being handed down. When someone acts as this woman does, she’s doing nothing for religious freedom except making a mockery of it. It actually makes me angry that she believes it is okay to behave this way.

Down here in the Bible Belt, the current religious kerfuffle is over the county sheriff placing In God We Trust on all his patrol vehicles. A few have objected. Personally, I think these brave souls should demand equal space for Allah, Buddha and None of The Above. 😉

That’s a good one. I’ll add (and in no way meaning disrespect to those I’m about to mention), imagine a Muslim was the County Clerk and imposed a religious belief. The same people backing Kim Davis would be livid .. and to be fair, my example is just as wrong as Kim Davis’ behavior.

I don’t. Unlike everyone else in jail, she can leave jail at any time she wants just by saying “Fine, I’ll do my job”. She can also resign if she can’t in good conscience give marriage licenses to gays and it’s a part of her job.

You now, of course, with a post title like that, you’re going to get our attention. Clever girl. I wasn’t sure what I might find over here, but I knew one thing for sure; it was likely I would end up chuckling. In that nauseatingly “oh-this-is-too-true” sort of way, but chuckling, nonetheless.
Thankfully, I can’t remember the name of that show about the duck people, but I can picture them praying about it. God-fearing, gun-toting, homophobic good folks, gathered together in prayer. Good thing I haven’t had breakfast yet. Would hate to barf on my keyboard.
Hope you have a good Monday, and really hope it’s a day off for you. Everyone needs a tiny slice of extra weekend every now and then. So you can clean house and pay the bills and all that other stuff. Or make those big plans to win a bed and breakfast. 🙂
