So it's come to this?

[Mike's Beard]

Wherever you stand on same sex marriage issues, sticking this women in jail was not necessary.

I agree. 

I'm pro same sex marriage.  But this person should've been suspended or given some other form of discipline.  Sending her to jail is a bit extreme. 

[Douchepool]

It's hard to be sympathetic to their plight when sh*t like this happens; indeed, my sympathy for the gay community is at an all-time low. This is the hallmark of a communist state, not the "land of the free." This is persecution of Christians, not to mention persecution of the people actually following the letter of the law. The Kentucky constitution specifically prohibits gay marriage. Like it or not, she was doing her job. Where are the "tolerant" gays, feminists, and liberals? Where?

They're NOWHERE to be found. "Tolerance" is a euphemism for "acceptance or else." You either fall in line with the liberal gestapo or you will face the consequences.

[Douchepool]

And how come NO ONE is saying it's time to get government out of marriage? This should be proof of that, but no...liberals want MORE government, not less.

[drbeachboy]

Marriage is tied to Government because of the almighty dollar. If Taxes and Entitlements were'nt tied to marriage, the government wouldn't give two shits about it.

Yup. It was a political move. Plain and simple.

[KDS]

Yep, you're not allowed to have an opinion in this country anymore. 

I just heard today that Curt Schilling's suspension from ESPN will continue through the end of the baseball season because of a meme he posted that compared Muslims to Nazis.  He's already been suspended for about three weeks. 

[Douchepool]

To be fair, he compared radical Muslims to Nazis. Apparently, radical Muslims are now a protected class in the U.S. of A. Color me not surprised.

There shouldn't be government incentives to marry, period.

[SMiLE Brian]

The high court ruled on the issue, clerks don't make the law but follow it.

This lady is in something way above her pay grade.

[Douchepool]

Yeah, she dared have her own conscience. The liberal gestapo does not tolerate dissent.

She not only refused to do her job, but she broke the law. Period.

The Supreme Court supersedes state law.

[SMiLE Brian]

Exactly, she is a clerk not a lawmaker or judge.

[Douchepool]

She not only refused to do her job, but she broke the law. Period.

The law is not a barometer for morality.

[Robbie Mac]

When the right bitches about "tolerance" what they REALLY mean is "I wish we could still be openly bigoted toward minorities".

[Douchepool]

Your logical fallacy is the straw man.

[SMiLE Brian]

I wish the republicans would stop getting tangled up in these social issues that alienate young voters. The high court ruled gay marriage was legal, deal with it and focus on real issues.

[Douchepool]

There's no problem with gay marriage being "legal." There really are bigger issues than letting the gays get married. I'm sure people can understand that.

[SMiLE Brian]

Like when Mike Love does a "wheennn" at a donald trump rally.

[Douchepool]

Bluebirds over the hairpiece?

[SMiLE Brian]

that too

[Mike's Beard]

I respect her right to her religious beliefs but if it is directly interfering with her ability to do her job requirements, then she needs to step down and allow someone else to take over. However, sending her to jail for standing up for her religious views is just plain liberal fascism at it's most transparent.  

[Douchepool]

She should have been removed from her job and left to her own devices. She's being made an example of; that's all this is.

I agree. It should have been nothing more than a firing. Though if she is an elected official then jail is the only option. Seriously, you cannot have people who are there to enforce the law blatantly break it.

Hey, if we held our elected officials up to the same standard to which we're holding up a fucking clerk, we'd have no federal or (most) state governments. Fat chance on that happening, of course. Some people depend on that free sh*t. Can't have them sitting at home and doing nothing without getting paid for it.
