FRANKFORT – Fifty-seven county clerks form every region of the commonwealth sent a formal letter to Gov. Steve Beshear on Wednesday requesting that he immediately call for a special session of the General Assembly to address issues relating to issuing same-sex marriage licenses.

Casey County Clerk Casey Davis, who has stopped issuing marriage licenses altogether to avoid issuing them to same-sex couples, visited with Beshear in Frankfort on Thursday where Beshear reiterated his stance that he will not call a special session on the subject.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who is the other judge-executive who has chosen not to issue any marriage licenses, is facing a lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union.

Boone County Clerk Kenny Brown, who is one of the 57 clerks who sent the letter to Beshear, says the most important issue in his mind is that clerks First Amendment rights he says are being violated because their office is being forced to issue same-sex marriage licenses which are against the religious beliefs of some.

His term ends in December - hopefully to be succeeded by Matt Bevin. And hopefully his behavior will keep his son from winning the AG’s race.

No, but the office is up for reelection THIS year. This pig is term limited so another rat bastard is running instead.

We must immediately stir the spirit of active, courageous resistance in our fellow countrymen, to rescue the country from judges and their enablers who are practicing the jurisprudence of the loony bin, in the make believe land of rainbows and unicorns. If we fail to act, and swiftly, this great free republic which was gifted to us by God and by our forebears will be gone, and our posterity will be destroyed. If we do act, en masse, we will win easily. The other side is not as strong as so many seem to fear, and our strength, if we act together, is far greater than most seem to realize. Fight!

We are heading for civil war ... This issue is much more powerful than the question of slavery, and, in fact is again lighting the fuse to the powder keg of state’s rights that was the spark for the first go-around with the fascist tyrants in D.C. “Those who do not learn the lessons of history ...”

Jack Conway, democrat, is running for governor, currently state attorney general, from my hometown of morganfield, he is a serious douche. Yep a douche of the highest order. The democrats here can’t wait to vote twice for him.

in fact is again lighting the fuse to the powder keg of state’s rights that was the spark for the first go-around with the fascist tyrants in D.C.

It has come to the point where we must simply say, "NO."

And when they come to force us, we must resist with equal force.
