Election 2016: Republican primary candidate Mike Huckabee

This past Sunday Mike Huckabee appeared on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos.  Stephanopoulos through the entire interview grilled Huckabee over the former governor’s stance on the incarceration of Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis.

Huckabee went head to head Stephanopoulos on judicial tyranny and the importance of checks and balances at the federal level and as far as Obergefell v. Hodges becoming the law of the land, Huckabee stated, “When the courts have a ruling then it is incumbent upon Congress to codify that into law.”

Typical of Progressives, stupidity reigns as Stephanopoulos asked Huckabee if he would have supported a county clerk standing up in opposition to the landmark Supreme Court case, Loving v. Virginia (1967):

“The Court rejected the state’s argument that the statute was legitimate because it applied equally to both blacks and whites and found that racial classifications were not subject to a “rational purpose” test under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court also held that the Virginia law violated the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. “Under our Constitution,” wrote Chief Justice Earl Warren, “the freedom to marry, or not marry, a person of another race resides with the individual, and cannot be infringed by the State.”

SIDEBAR

This is yet another example of Progressives co-opting the past to shove their agenda down the throats of Americans.  Gay marriage has absolutely no relative connection to inter-racial marriage, i.e., Loving v. Virginia (1967) or any other stepping-stone in the Civil Rights era.

END OF SIDEBAR.  RANT OVER.

Stephanopoulos could not cite a statute to back up his argument, the schmuck. Probably got his talking points from the Clintons and Media Matters.

Former Governor Huckabee has established the following petition on his website.

I’m holding an “#ImWithKim Liberty Rally” on Tuesday, September 8th at the Carter County Detention Center in Grayson, Kentucky at 3:00 PM ET (local time).

Dear President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, & Judge Bunning:

Immediately release Kim Davis from federal custody. Exercising Religious Liberty should never be a crime in America. This is a direct attack on our God-given, constitutional rights.

If interested, you can sign the petition calling for the release of Kim Davis here.

Tues., Sept. 8, 2015
EVENT: #ImWithKim Liberty Rally with Gov. Mike Huckabee and Mat Staver
TIME: 3 p.m. ET
LOCATION: Carter County Detention Center
ADDRESS: 13 Crossbar Rd, Grayson, KY

Madonna’s Gay Brother Chides LGBT Gestapo on Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis

Christopher Ciccone, famously known as Madonna’s “Gay” brother posted a statement on his Facebook page Friday night chiding the LGBT Gestapo’s [my emphasis] handling and response to Kentucky County clerk, Kim Davis’ refusal to issue gay marriage licenses.

Ciccone began his commentary by pointing out, the double standard that would have obviously applied if Davis, a Christian was instead a Muslim woman wearing a burqa and had refused to issue gay marriage licenses.

In addition, Ciccone not mincing any words addressed judicial tyranny and the “selective shaming and bullying” of the LGBT Gestapo and Marxists thus sparking outrage amongst his peers.

“The county clerk in Kentucy deserves about as much support as you would give her if she were a muslim women who insisted on covering her face and refused not only gay marriages licenses, but divorce, accusations of rape and driving a car without ur mans approval…..perspective is everything…..this woman is a civil servant, she is required to follow federal law…..but why should she….when DOJ and other civil authories don’t follow federal law when they choose not to…..i.e. Washington State and Colorado (POT) come to mind…or the abstract notion of “sanctuary cities”…..i always thought that sanctuary was the province of churches…….these things aside….this is why we have elections…..if the folks of this county in Kentucy don’t want her as the county clerk….then don’t have to vote for her…..that is how a democracy works….not to mention the courts….in the mean time…..since when are we the arbiter of other peoples faith?…….can you honestly say that you know how much a person is allowed to have??..if i’m not mistaken, it’s in the constitution…..something about religious freedom or something……selective shaming and bullying corrupts a democracy….freedom of press, speech and religion give it strength. Not to mention reason and the god given compassion we as humans have a right and responsibility to practice. Once again, the gay community feels the need to be sore winners. Is it so difficult to allow this women her religion?…or must we destroy her in order for here to betray her faith. No matter how we judge its truth. The rights we have all fought for, mean nothing, if we deny her hers.”

Oregon judge under fire for refusal to perform same-sex marriages, cites religious freedom

Christian persecution, Constitutional violation, First Amendment, gay-marriage, Religious liberty

Honorable Vance D. Day, Circuit Court Judge, Marion County (2008 RNC, Phoenix)

An Oregon circuit judge is under fire for refusing to perform same-sex marriages based on his religious beliefs.

Marion County circuit court judge, Judge Vance Day, a former chair of the Oregon Republican Party under attack is being accused of discrimination in that he performed heterosexual marriages.

Day is alleged to have instructed his staff to (a) “inform couples that the judge will not perform same-sex marriages”; and (b) “refer same-sex couples to other Marion County judges willing to issue them a marriage license.”

In another example or religious persecution in America, Judge Day’s decision based on his faith has led to an ethics investigation by the Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness.

Oregon Live

Marion County Circuit Judge Vance Day, a former chairman of the Oregon Republican Party, took steps Thursday to create a legal defense fund in an apparent response to his decision not to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies.

Day took action because of what he described as “deeply-held religious beliefs,” KGW reported.

“It’s an exercise of his religious freedom rights under the First Amendment,” Day spokesman Patrick Korten told the news station.

In recent months, Day has not performed any marriage ceremonies, KGW reported. His courtroom is in Salem….

Tyranny In Kentucky – #IStandWithKim Davis

The Camp of the Saints by bobbelvedere

A Federal Judge has arrested Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis and put her in jail for refusing to issue ‘same-sex marriage’ licenses.

The Left, as is to be expected, is praising the Judge’s move.

We have a typical example of this, as reported by Bridget Johnson:

“And every public official in our democracy is subject to the rule of law. No one is above the law. That applies to the president of the United States and that applies to the County Clerk and Rowan County, Kentucky, as well,” [Josh] Earnest said. “And that’s a fundamental principal of our democracy. In terms of how that applies to this particular case? That’s obviously something that a judge will have to decide. And I would not second guess it from here.”

Earnest said he hadn’t spoken with Obama about “this particular matter,” and was “obviously limited in what I can say, given the ongoing court activity.”

“I will just say on principle that the success of the democracy depends on the rule of law, and there is no public official that is above the rule of law,” he continued. “Certainly not the president of the United States, but neither is the Rowan County clerk. That’s a principle that is enshrined in our Constitution and in our democracy, and it’s one that, obviously, the courts are seeking to uphold.”

Some on the Right are saying she deserves this punishment because she has ‘defied the law’.

In two segments of his radio show tonight, Mark Levin demolishes this argument….

Standing with Kim Davis is Republican 2016 presidential primary candidate Senator Ted Cruz who immediately issued the following Statement on Arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis.

HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding the arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis:

“Today, judicial lawlessness crossed into judicial tyranny. Today, for the first time ever, the government arrested a Christian woman for living according to her faith. This is wrong. This is not America.

“I stand with Kim Davis. Unequivocally. I stand with every American that the Obama Administration is trying to force to choose between honoring his or her faith or complying with a lawless court opinion.

“In dissent, Chief Justice Roberts rightly observed that the Court’s marriage opinion has nothing to do with the Constitution. Justice Scalia observed that the Court’s opinion was so contrary to law that state and local officials would choose to defy it.

“For every politician — Democrat and Republican — who is tut-tutting that Davis must resign, they are defending a hypocritical standard. Where is the call for the mayor of San Francisco to resign for creating a sanctuary city — resulting in the murder of American citizens by criminal illegal aliens welcomed by his lawlessness?

“Where is the call for President Obama to resign for ignoring and defying our immigration laws, our welfare reform laws, and even his own Obamacare?

“When the mayor of San Francisco and President Obama resign, then we can talk about Kim Davis.

“Those who are persecuting Kim Davis believe that Christians should not serve in public office. That is the consequence of their position. Or, if Christians do serve in public office, they must disregard their religious faith–or be sent to jail.

“Kim Davis should not be in jail. We are a country founded on Judeo-Christian values, founded by those fleeing religious oppression and seeking a land where we could worship God and live according to our faith, without being imprisoned for doing so.

“I call upon every Believer, every Constitutionalist, every lover of liberty to stand with Kim Davis. Stop the persecution now.”

 

I STAND WITH KIM DAVIS.

Escalation of Religious Persecution in USA; Judge Orders Incarceration of Kentucky Clerk

Religious persecution in the United States has just escalated to a whole new level as a U. S. District Judge David Bunning issued an order to incarcerate Kentucky County Clerk, Kim Davis Rowan, until Rowan agrees to comply with his order to issue marriage licenses to for all couples.

During her 20-minute testimony, Davis informed the court that “You can’t be separated from something that’s in your heart and in your soul…My conscience will not allow it. God’s moral law convicts me and conflicts with my duties.”

The ACLU wanted the judge to fine Davis but since various organizations are fundraising on Davis’ behalf and Davis “made it clear the fine wouldn’t change anything,” Bunning decided that fines were not enough to force Davis into compliance.

Courier – Journal

“Her good-faith belief is simply not a viable defense,” he said. “Oaths mean things.”

Bunning said society relies virtually every day on people complying with court orders and that to allow otherwise would create a slippery slope.

The court “cannot condone willful disobedience,” he said. “If you give people opportunity to choose what orders they follow, that is what potentially causes problems.”

Davis, who was tearful at times, testified that she could not obey the order, and that God’s law trumps the court….

Davis’ attorney, Mac Staver’s response to his client’s incarceration is shock, “This wasn’t even what was part of the original request from the plaintiffs in this case…The judge went way beyond…. Kim Davis might be jailed for her conscience, but her conscience is free.”

Bunning has ordered the Deputy Clerk to court this afternoon where they will have to inform the court of their intent to comply or not with his earlier ruling to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.

The gay mafia with the mainstream media in tow ambushed Davis at her workplace the other day. You can see the video here.

Bunning’s order has escalated religious persecution in the United States, which has been steady rising the past several years to a completely new level.

Lastly, how would the federal government handle a Muslim refusing to issue marriage licenses for gay couples?

Would that individual be persecuted and incarcerated by the federal government? I doubt it very much.

FAIL: Gay Actress Ambushes Ted Cruz at Iowa State Fair

Election 2016 presidential election, Ellen Page, Intolerance, Progressive hypocrisy, Religious liberty, Republican Party, selective outrage, Ted Cruz

In a case of selective outrage, Hollywood actress, Ellen Page, ambushed , 2016 presidential hopeful Senator Ted Cruz who was manning a grill at the Iowa State Fair debating Cruz on homosexuality and religious freedom.

As pointed out by Breitbart at the time of the discussion Cruz had no idea who Page was not that it would have made a difference.

Ted Cruz was on point as he countered allegations one after the other about hateful, biased Christians from Page, who is gay.

Cruz went so far as to point out the hypocrisy, intolerance and selective outrage of both the LGBT community and the Obama administration including the overwhelming consent of human rights violations against homosexuals by Muslim nations, terrorists through their silence; many nations whom the Obama administration is funding.

ENDGAME: Cruz 1, Page 0.

Senator Ted Cruz to Ellen Paige (04:57) : “Does that trouble you at all that you draw a moral equivalence between Christians in Jamaica and radical Islamic terrorist in ISIS..They’re beheading children….”
