A court clerk in Kentucky want to jail because she would not issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple. Keep in mind that, in 2004, an amendment to the Kentucky state constitution defining marriage as one man and one woman was approved by 75% of the voters. To this fact, our nation’s liberal elite answer: Damn the voters, damn Kentucky and damn Kim Davis for thinking that her religious beliefs should be respected. The liberal elite — in particular, Justice Anthony Kennedy and four of his Supreme Court colleagues — have decided that Christian belief must be forcibly eradicated, and that the voters of Kentucky are not fit to govern themselves. Therefore, Kim Davis is a criminal.
This is what our nation’s liberal elite demands in 2015, because the liberal elite believes in a radical egalitarian ideology in which only those who are deemed “oppressed” have any influence or protection in American society. The law must judge every conflict according to a simple question: “Who is the greater ‘victim of society’ here?” The victims always win, and therefore the only way to “win” is to present yourself as a helpless loser, in order to demand that “society” give you whatever you want as compensation for your oppressed condition. That this kind of “social justice” mentality incentivizes failure and inspires fraudulent claims of victimhood (everything is rape now) is bad enough. Yet it also serves to destroy society’s ability to protect itself against real harms, as evidenced by a recent federal court ruling:
A federal appeals court has ruled that an illegal immigrant and convicted felon can’t be deported back to Mexico because he identifies as a transgender woman, which leaves him vulnerable to torture back in his home country.
Edin Carey Avendano-Hernandez was born male in Mexico, and claims to have been raped by his brothers and suffered other torments. In 2000, he illegally entered the U.S. and took up residence in Fresno, California. Avendano-Hernandez also started taking female hormones and began living openly as a woman in 2005. In 2006, he committed two separate drunk driving offenses, the second of which injured two people and resulted in a felony conviction. After serving a year in jail, he was deported back to Mexico in 2007.
Back in Mexico, Avendano-Hernandez claims to have been subjected to more harassment from family and neighbors and to have been raped by members of the Mexican army. He illegally entered the U.S. again and, after being arrested, petitioned for sanctuary in the U.S. under the U.N. Convention Against Torture (CAT), arguing that deporting him would violate the CAT because he would more likely than not experience torture at the hands of Mexican authorities. . . .
Now, a three-judge panel on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals says Avendano-Hernandez must be allowed to stay in the U.S., because he “more likely than not” will be tortured if returned to Mexico.
Judge Jacqueline Nguyen, an Obama appointee, chastised immigration officials for improperly handling Avandano-Hernandez’s gender identity. . . .
The belief that Avendano-Hernandez was raped and tortured in Mexico appears to be based entirely on his own claims, which were deemed to be “credible” by his immigration judge.
Read the whole thing at The Daily Caller. You see the court has decided that this convicted criminal, who otherwise would be ineligible for residency in the United States, now must be granted residency, merely because his/her “gender identity” would make him/her a victim of Mexican society if he/she were to be deported. The United States therefore must accept every foreign transsexual who can make it across the border, because “social justice” requires it.
Christians in Kentucky have zero rights, so Kim Davis goes to jail, while a Mexican criminal pervert has a “Get Out of Jail Free” card.
Name that tribe, coward
Minarchy?
We all know who they are. The toxic nature of the Christ-killers has been known for at least two thousand years. John 8:44 explains it perfectly.
You can even say “their” name
Good luck being persuasive and organizing any resistence, oh fearless one lol
the real issue is for you: “ewww, icky”!
The real issue is what’s in it for me?. I like things the way they are. You want change. Convince me to agree.
You just aren’t persuasive; I don’t believe you have any idea how to be persuasive. You’re a gay, atheist democrat with fascist leanings and as long as you have The State’s jackboots and guns at your disposal, you don’t have to be persuasive.
No one here agrees with you AND THAT’S YOUR FAULT. You only come here to irritate people who disagree with you, not look for common ground and ways that YOU can compromise. You just come here to be a pest. Is this your job?
See, I don’t agree with your proposed social innovations. That’s fine with you, apparently; you plan to imprison dissenters anyways. Don’t want to decorate a cake for me? Go to prison. Don’t want to stand in front of God in his own house and participate in a vulgar parody of a sacred rite? Go to prison.
Fuck You. War.
Minarchy is an oversimplification.
We’ve got government agencies telling us what to eat, who we can marry, what intoxicants are allowed, and taking our money and property without compensation. Soon we’ll have agencies telling us that the backyard puddle is a waterway, that we can’t use electricity during the hot part of the day, and who is going to be our neighbor.
Isn’t it barely possible that government might be causing most of the problems that government says it can fix?
Karl Marx’s grandfathers were both rabbis, you know.
“Government authority tends to be used against those least likely to resist.”
That’s one of mine.
Think about it for a bit.
If you’ll excuse me, I’ve a dinner date. I doubt I’ll be back this evening.
I only demand that you stop being a jackass, if possible. >:(
Also, you can’t just “decide” to come to God, He has to call you, and obviously you’re not. Furthermore, someday you WILL prostrate yourself before my God; everyone who ever lived will. That day is coming soon. I’m surprised you can’t sense it.
HAHAHAHA!
Funny how reasonable and helpful God’s rules are.
They’re not MY rules. They’re God’s rules, and it doesn’t even matter whether *I* like them or not. I choose to obey because I know He has my best interests at heart.
And you’re out of here.
That would be a majority of Democrats. Bored now.
Which is why the best answer to SCOTUS acting tyrannical is Andrew Jackson’s “Mr. Chief Justice Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.”
bite it Nazi swine

Being elected does not shield one from being fired, though the process is generally referred to as impeachment. The Kentucky law against giving a marriage licence so two people of the same sex has been struck down as unconstitutional, which you well know.
Deliberate failure of a bureaucrat to process government forms is comparable to war crimes and the holocaust?
Really??? This is what passes for coherent thought where you come from?
Someone failed his constitutional law class.
Then the market will decide. If someone can get more customers by refusing them service, then more power to them. Bureaucrats working for the state don’t get the luxury.
Even in small things it can take courage to do what is right.
If my examples were too melodramatic for you, how about refusing to take your proper seat on a bus? Would you have condemned that particular woman for refusing to obey an arbitrary rule?
In all these cases the question is whether to do what is right or to obey an improper command. Are you personally capable of doing what is right even at the cost of some inconvenience to yourself?
This is getting borderline Kafkaesque.
Remember Sweet Cakes?
But at the end of the day, one of those institutions is still standing, and the other is not.
At some point the gay activist community is going to have to figure out how to coexist with the majority of religions out there, or it will have to try to destroy them.
The Fed Courts had no jurisdiction in the matter. Marriage is a State issue. It would have been thrown out at the trial level if the courts were guided by the law and constitution, but they have become lawless.
Neo has been told that repeatedly. He’s ignored it and could not careless about anything but that universe he’s constructed in that infinite space between his ears.
The Zeitgeist is always exemplified by the sin of the age. The Christian stands foursquare against it.
SCOTUS issuing a bull stating something does not make it so, particularly when it had no jurisdiction in the matter.
I think God calls everyone, but many simply can’t hear the call. Neo’s ear isn’t just tin, it’s made of case hardened steel.
Then you have no opinion worth the time of day on anything else. I appears you are more into crusading for queers than you are for doing the right thing.
They had no jurisdiction in the matter. That simple fact ends the argument about SCOTUS usurpation.
SCOTUS has overturned nothing. They have no jurisdiction in the matter.
It is not law, it is judicial fiat for which they have no authority.
People that assume office, then do all they can to subvert the law should not just be removed from office, but they should marginalized professionally and politically in a way they can do no further damage. Converting them to nonliving tissue ensures all of that.
Frankly, such people can never be trusted to behave themselves.
But…
(and this is the Really Important Bit)
…your choice doesn’t apply to anyone else.
Chill. I think that Supreme Court ruling is BS too. I am pointing out the hypocrisy of the left on this (there is a double standard)
Of course I can decide. In fact, according to your own theology I will decide.
Why else does your messiah say things like “follow me?”
It’s choice. I just happen to have choices that aren’t covered in your big book of wonderful.
Blindly proclaiming what you think happens in the afterlife doesn’t change that.
*waves*
Hello again!
Wow, you really are obsessed, aren’t you?
You may keep theatrically proclaiming that you won’t talk to me, but you can’t resist making the side comments.
Not that it should matter, but it was freshly caught rainbow trout.
It was pretty good too.
The company was better.
And it’s even more funny how certain Christians label everything “good” as theirs when others were using the same ideas long before there was Christianity or Judaism.
Yep, obsessed.
Pardon me if I don’t put on the costume you’ve selected for me.
Well, you’re gone now.
But your ignorance is pretty obvious.
Not before there was God.
Also, who was using them? And why would heathens follow God’s commands, or even know them.
In fact, never mind. You’re just going to whip out some stupid bs pagan/evolutionary nonsense. Heard it all before, blah blah blah, don’t need to hear it again.
Then why did you have to “prove” that it was Christian?
It’s like you can’t just accept that something was a good idea and move on. You have to invoke your religion to politicize everything.
It’s not about the branding.
It’s how you treat other people. Especially the ones who aren’t part of your family, clan, tribe, city, nation, religion, or gender.
Oh good grief, Neo. Do you not think I know my own theology? Though it’s kind of humorous that you try to lecture me about what you think my theology is.
John 6:44, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
The Father has to draw you, i.e., act of God is required. THEN you have a choice.
I have no interest in what you think of the afterlife. Yahweh has issued literally hundreds of prophecies that came true exactly as described. None of the prophecies that applied to the past did not come true as stated. Therefore, I have every reason to think that the ones that apply to the immediate future will also come true exactly as described. So I know already what is going to happen to me, and to you. And I genuinely pity you.
It’s only fair.
After all, you lecture me all the time about how my beliefs and experiences must fall in front of your theology.
And yes, I’m making a point.
Well duh, I never said it did. My point is that you don’t have to be Judeo-Christian to follow God’s laws, but you would be happier, healthier and more successful if you did.
My point exactly. These idiots think they can legislate from the bench. What a crock!
