If governors & legislatures thought this threat to religious freedom would go away – the jailing of Kim Davis proves them wrong. - @tperkins

Kim Davis in federal custody removes all doubts about the criminalization of Christianity in this country. We must defend #ReligiousLiberty!

I call on every Believer, every Constitutionalist, every lover of liberty to stand w/ Kim Davis—stop the persecution https://t.co/iyrWbPLgoR

How many more Christians will Judge Bunning throw in jail?

I support Kim Davis like I would support a clerk who wouldn't sign a form allowing a box car into Auschwitz, "law" or not.

Kim Davis did not break the law. She defied an unconstitutional RULING, just like Lincoln did with Dred Scott.

If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.

On the other hand, plenty of other people on Twitter have condemned Davis for her homophobia and refusal to perform her job. Hashtags such as #DoYourJob, #FreeKimDavis, and #IStandWithKimDavis make for fun reading.
Hey, #IStandWithKimDavis nitwits, #KimDavis is much closer to George Wallace than Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks.
Read a book.

— F Zahn (@fzmichael) September 4, 2015You're denying the rights of a marginalized group by breaking the law -- #KimDavis is not the Jew, she's the Nazi. #IStandWithKimDavis

Sir Thinks-A-Lot nails it. Wallace in the schoolhouse door is exactly what her role in this drama amounts to. And gotta love Betty Bowers as always!
ReplyDeleteHuckabee and Cruz, by contrast, have produced what must be the stupidest tweets ever twotten (twitted? twattered? I can't keep up with these new verbs) by major-party Presidential candidates. Criminalization of Christianity? Persecution? The Middle Eastern Christians being beheaded and bound up on crosses by ISIS must feel so sorry for Davis and the horrible persecution she's suffering.
Infidel -- Davis and her supporters think she's the hero of the story, when she's really the villain.
DeletePeople like Huckabee love Christian persecution rhetoric, even when it has no anchoring in reality and even when Christians in other countries are suffering FAR worse.
