Batten down the hatches, she’s free at last! Kim Davis, the many times-married Christian do-gooder who went to the slammer for refusing to give same-sex couples their legal right to marry, is out among the law-abiding citizens of Rowan County, Kentucky. As Survivor’s anthemic “Eye of the Tiger” was blasted from loudspeakers, Kimmy took center stage awash in tears as she addressed a throng of many hundreds of animals supporters. “Thank you all so much. I love you all so very much,” she told the crowd. “I just want to give God the glory. His people have rallied, and you are a strong people! We serve a living God who knows exactly where each and every one of us is at. Keep on pressing. Don’t let down. Because He is here and He is worthy.” The He she’s referring to is GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, who came to town to troll for votes introduce the woman whose homophobia he bizarrely compared to Lincoln’s fight against slavery. We’re not sure we’d call him “worthy,” Kimbo. Watch Mike-n-Kim milk it for all it’s worth below (can someone send us a dance remix of Kim’s moving little exit speech?).

“Plaintiffs who had sued the defiant county clerk asked the court to release Davis after her deputies issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples.” Yes, the gay couples she persecuted acted more “christian” towards her by showing forgiveness than she ever did towards them. That is how you do christianity right. These right wing fake christians are political not godly. They could learn a lot from the gay couples this woman religiously persecuted.

Kim Davis the Kentucky clerk stepped out of the Jail as if she “won an award”. The fame she has been given is beyond anything I have ever seen. This is not a game or award show she is playing out. Same sex marriage is legal period. Enough of the anger about it, enough of the debate. It is over. Kim has the right to do her job but does not have the right to dictate whom she or her office will issue marriage license to.(All Facebook friends request are accepted)

She will get the Linda Tripp treatment all the way thru. Tripp was the one who reported Monica (the little whore) Lewdinsky and Clinton to the media. Tripp was treated like royalty until there was no more use for her (as in Clinton leaving office with a very high popularity rating). She moved to Middleburg, Va into an $800k house in the belief she would get some money out of her lawsuit. She won the damn suit but did NOT see one dime of the $500k because it ALL went to her attorneys in fees. The republicans did NOT return her weeping filled phone calls.

Something that isn’t getting much attention, because the media doesn’t really understand religion, is that she is a Oneness Pentecostal (they often use the term “Apostolic” to describe themselves) — they reject the Trinity and believe that baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (NOT in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as most Christians baptize) and speaking in tongues is required for salvation. So while she is thanking her lawyer (a Seventh-Day Adventist minister) and Mike Huckabee (a Southern Baptist minister), she actually belongs to a church that believes the two of them are going to hell because they don’t share her church’s beliefs.

@Troy E. Pelaar:
Here we go!
S. District Judge David Bunning ordered that Davis be released from jail — five days after he sent her there — saying he was satisfied that her deputies fulfilled their obligations to give marriage licenses to same-sex couples in her absence.
But Bunning’s new order says Davis cannot interfere with her deputies issuing marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples.
That means Davis will find herself behind bars again if she does anything to prevent the marriages from taking place.
And this is the extremely telling part……………..
Asked by a reporter whether her stay in jail was worth it, Davis smiled and nodded.
LOL she will refuse again and will be trow again in jail……..

What I don’t understand is that equal marriage is law of the land put into place by the highest court.

Remember when they made the law for segregation and how then governor Wallace blocked the doorway to the school oh, how did that turn out

I think someone needs to sit Kim Davis down and have a good talk with her. She acts like she’s a hero and she is not. She’s a person who refused to do her job, that she receives a fine paycheck for from American taxpayers. She could easily quit but no she had to be rotten about it. That isn’t nice at all.

The worst thing about this hatefest: What an ugly display of blatant, unbridled bigotry. Makes me ashamed to be an American.
The best things about this hatefest: 1) Sen Cruz was essentially Huck-blocked as he couldn’t maneuver his way around buttercup Huckabee’s loathsomeness (when’s the last time THAT happened to a sitting U.S. Senator?); 2) This brazen show of intolerance and discrimination will drive even more people away from religion.
Davis will not heed the the terms of judge’s release order, because gawd. Her ass will be back in jail faster than they will have had a chance to disinfect from her last visit.

Realitycheck
@Chris Pepper Larson: @Rodney Davis: Rodney SCOTUS did not make a law, SCOTUS looked over existing laws and declare it was discrimination not to allow gays to marry.
The reason SCOTUS doesn’t get involved is because the sixth USA district federal judge is handling this.
Contrary to popular believe the judge was not soft, the judge follow all the required steps until finally Davis was charged with contempt of court.
But then the judge surprised everyone, the judge should have given Davis; daily incremental fines for weeks, until she finally agree to do her job, unless she had refused for a very long time, she should have not gone to jail.
ASs we all know the judge jailed her immediately with good reasons.
Now it would seem the judge released her too early, but her only crime was contempt of court, so once the court was satisfied with having the situation corrected Davis should have
been released.
Not doing her job is a misdemeanor called misconduct and the attorney general of Kentucky is looking in to that after 2 charges for misconduct have been filed against Davis.
That will also lead to fines and jail time so the road is still on for Davis.
And here is the real pickle for Kim Davis, “IF” she denies again licenses, or she try to stop her deputies from issuing licenses, she will go back to jail, the judge that released her made that clear; giving Davis a direct order not to interfere with licenses.
And even if she behave, there are still 2 lawsuits for damages against her.

George Takei put it this way via Twitter:
“Well this is a bit of a circus. So let us be clear: This woman is no hero to be celebrated. She broke her oath to uphold the Constitution and defied a court order so she could deny government services to couples who are legally entitled to be married. She is entitled to hold her religious beliefs, but not to impose those beliefs on others. If she had denied marriage certificates to an interracial couple, would people cheer her? Would presidential candidates flock to her side? In our society, we obey civil laws, not religious ones. To suggest otherwise is, simply put, entirely un-American.”
Billysees
I…must be obedient to…the Word of God, Davis once wrote.
Then why isn’t she obedient to Romans 13:1-5?
1. Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.
2. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.
3. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you.
4. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.
5. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

Comparing Lincoln and Kim Davis is an insult to Lincoln. Remember Lincoln was gay. There are love letters between Lincoln and his male lovers.( A well know fact to most Historians.) I do not believe Lincoln would want any one to think either of them had anything in common.
