So only liberals should use proper spelling?

I do hope you feel vindicated.

I guess that must be important.

As the clerk her name is on the marriage license. No matter how you spin it she is being forced to endorse the damming sin of Sodomy. To force her to resign violates her rights. So your argument is garbage just like the Sodomy rulings.

She and her staff have been summoned to a hearing in federal court. It’s likely she’ll be threatened with contempt if she doesn’t comply.

If somebody can't spell the name of a thing, we should
still consider him an expert on that thing if that is what he wants.

Handing out and processing civil marriage licenses (no one is asking her to perform religious marriages)--or, if she doesn't want to do that, having someone else in her office do it--is not the same as running concentration camps.

A lot of these folks seem to lack any sense of proportion. Maybe they're young or have been sheltered from reality by protective parents, maybe they've never spoken to someone who was in a real concentration camp, who knows? It's just so hard to imagine people talking like that. Concentration camps!

I'm expected to suffer because two weirdos (both male) want to get married? How am I supposed to feel about the two weirdos down the street who want to sniff paint?

I guess if I were this lady, I would quit my job. I could understand that. What I can't understand is all this self-inflicted suffering and pain. Life has got to be very hard for some of these people.

The government is a monopoly. There is not an alternative marriage licensing agency. That is why this case is totally different from the various baker/photographer/venue cases.

If this clerk does not agree with government policy, she should find another role in the government where she does not face this personal conflict, or pursue employment outside of the government.

We do not allow Conscientious Objectors to serve in the military, but allow them the right to refuse to refuse orders to shoot the enemy when lawfully ordered to do so. Conscientious Objectors have been accommodated in noncombatant roles when needed by the government.

I think that the Jews who lived in Nazi Germany would have been very pleased to trade their circumstances for the legal system here in the United States.

Because the frying pan is better than the fire, but do not have any illusions that we will not eventually be upgraded to the fire.

What we are going through now is akin to the early days of Nazism, before they could just come out and say "Kill the Jews." Right now they are stepping gingerly, waiting to see what the Christians will do. If they don't fight back, they will move to the next stage.

Your burden is to live in a world where two mixed-up guys can get married. Why go on living? ;-)

You don't see the bigger picture. Perhaps I can poke you towards the direction of a broader insight.

In the Netherlands, they are now euthanizing people without their consent, especially those chronically in need of care.

This started out as a "right to die" issue. Where do you see it going from here?

Here's another clue as to what we are dealing with.

If you haven't seen that, you need to watch it quick. It gets harder and harder to find on the net with each passing year. The left is working to scrub the net of it.

Pull your head out of the sand and smell the ZyklonB.

Thanks for posting this.

You are welcome. I find that document to be a very useful tool in repudiating the lies we have been fed about "Separation of Church and State."

Spread it around. Liberals don't dare challenge Lincoln.

What about a Christian clerk refusing to issue a license for someone who has been married before? There are Christian faiths that do not accept the state’s version of civil divorce and remarriage.

If you can show me a county in which this was not the law before the Clerk volunteered to work in this county, then you will have a valid point.

If you know of no such county where such a change has occurred, then you do not have a point.

Changing the accepted understanding, and the conditions consented to by the employee requires at the very least a re-negotiation of the implicit contract.

Once again, I will quote Abraham Lincoln when he was questioning a witness.

"Suppose you call a tail a leg. How many legs would a sheep have"? The Man replied "Five." Lincoln said "No, only four. Just because you call a tail a leg, doesn't make it so."

You know all these creeps would have to do is find someone who doesn’t mind and have them do it. This is herterophobe hate on display, they want to destroy straight people especially Christians.

We should start trying to find gay ministers who won’t perform Christian ceremonies then sue, gay wedding planners, florists etc. who don’t want to share the joy of a Christian wedding.

If she wont do something perverted, why doesn’t she let another government employee do something perverted...?????

Wait until cops are told to arrest you for being a Christian...would you want the cop to abide by that civil-”lawful” order?

Licensing marriages should not be government’s business anyway.

I know the story and Levison was working for the USSR, no doubt.

But Communist associations would help Kennedy with his main reason for ramping up FBI surveillance in 1963, 1964.

The FBI sent MLK a sex tape in 1964 letting him know they knew. The Democrat machine, now controlled by LBJ, didn’t want protests to disrupt the 1964 election, hurting Dems and helping Goldwater.

King and other civil rights leaders backed off on protests at the end of July 1964 to do what LBJ and the Dems wanted.

This isn’t the first time the state’s definition of marriage has changed, merely the most recent and most ridiculously impossible so far. I guess my point was that the state’s fairly recent acceptance of no-fault divorce would seem to violate a great many Christian’s beliefs, and I wondered if any clerks refused to issue civil marriage licenses after that change.

“Changing the accepted understanding, and the conditions consented to by the employee requires at the very least a re-negotiation of the implicit contract.”

That’s a good point, and of course I would never fire anyone over non-acceptance of ‘gay marriage.’ But as before, the state’s version of marriage can only ever be whatever judges, pols, or the voting majority decide it is at any one time. To the state in the modern era marriage has obviously always been mutable.
