Kim Davis is the perfect example of why we separated from England, and why the founding fathers wrote the first amendment. It is the prevention of government from creating an organized religion that we left England in the first place. By Ms. Davis forcing her staff to follow the tenets of HER religious beliefs, and as a consequence the community she serves, she is forcing a community to follow her beliefs, not their own freedom of religion.
The problem I have with Ms. Davis and people like her is they are always complaining how they’re rights to practice their religion are being abridged, while all the time abridging the rights of others. They’re more than happy to freely practice their religion, but they don’t want anyone else to have the same rights. They’re more than happy to support a Christian teacher’s desire to force her students to pray to their god, but once that teacher’s a Muslim then they want to set them on fire. You can’t have it both ways.
I truly hope that the majority of the people in this country understand that her going to jail is the perfect example of our Constitution at work. I don’t think her supporters will, but they should. If you think that jailing Ms. Davis was an injustice, then think of this: You are a Christian. You go to a government office. The clerk is a gay. They won’t grant you a marriage license because it’s for a relationship they find repugnant. How do you feel? This is exactly what Ms. Davis did. Oh wait…she’s a four time married woman who cheated on her first husband with her third husband, had two bastard children, and then married twice more. But she’s a Christian…so that’s OK.
