So if the government suddenly passed a law that created a direct moral conflict, you would have no problem just finding a new career asap, right?

Kim Davis suffered enough for standing up for her beliefs. But of course, that's never good enough for the LGBTQ community. They want them jailed or pay ridiculous fines.

If I decided I could no longer do the job as the law mandates, then yes, I would quit. Why should anyone continue to draw a paycheck for a job they refuse to do?

Davis knew exactly what she was doing. I have no pity for all she "suffered" since she brought it on herself.

Let's put this into another context that takes the religious aspect out of it. Suppose she was elected dog catcher, should she be able to dictate what dogs she would license or should be required to license any dog the law allows? Any reasonable person is gong to say she should be required to license any dog the law allows.



It's not for her to decide what the law is and that is exactly what she was doing by refusing to issue the licenses. If your position in government whether elected or an employee dictates you need to do XYZ then you need to do XYZ. Your personal beliefs or opinions are not relevant.

Didn't Sarah Suckabee Sander's daddy Mike Huckleberry come to her defense at the time?

Miraculously a gofundme account has appeared online to clear Davis of her financial burdens. Rejoice. Rejoice.

I'm so glad this bigot is going to suffer for her actions.
$225K? No problem. Huckabee can start a Go Fund Me.

What is wrong with people who cannot just practice their religion and leave the rest of us alone?

Do they think God rewards them for being obnoxious and treating people as if they are less than human? I honestly believe some of them do.

No, it doesn't. Stop being a bigot.

You know what? Muslims hate the gays. Like they really HATE THEM! They go out of there way to murder them. Had Davis been a Muslim and refused to comply with the law you can bet your last dollar that the OP and every other bleeding heart liberal would make excuses for her and not only defend her actions as courageous and Morally sound and how dare people be so insensitive to her Islamic religion and go on to accuse those who condemn her actions as Islamophobic. But because Davis is a Christian/Catholic and stuck to her religious believes she is a bigot. That's why NO ONE can take liberals seriously. They are a delusional bunch.

Please spare me your moral indignation. You are a liar. You would stay until you were fired and sue. To answer the last question of your ridiculous post. Congress has been drawing a paycheck for years and they have a job they refuse to do.
