Donald Trump on Kim Davis: 'This was not the right job for her'
Washington Times ^ | 9/9/2018 | David Sherfinski

Posted on 09/09/2015 12:19:51 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said that while it was too bad Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis was put in jail over her refusal to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples, people have to abide by the Supreme Court's ruling on the matter.

"Well, you know, she was released and that was good, and it was too bad that she had to be put in jail, and I'm a very, very strong believer in Christianity and religion, but I will say that this was not the right job for her," Mr. Trump said on Tuesday evening's "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News. ...

"Because we had a ruling from the Supreme Court and we are a country of laws and you have to do what the Supreme Court ultimately, whether you like the decision or not, and it was a 5-4 decision, whether you like the decision or not, you have to go along with the Supreme Court" Mr. Trump said. "That's the way it is." ...

“Yes, I would gladly burn any book that taught the crap you have laid on this thread.”

What is it with some of you faux holy roller types and the potty mouths? There’s another one like you on this thread too. All hostility and potty mouth. How hypocritical. Clean up your act if you are going to make claims of how religious you are. You sure don’t sound it.

I’m not either. I love the way Trump is trashing the GOPe/ Liberal china shops but Cruz has been fighting against the Washington Elites long before Trump.

And unlike Trump, he has scored numerous significant victories.

So let me see - I’m a troll if I post information on a Ted Cruz thread and now I’m a troll if I post information on a Donald Trump thread. You have a problem I think.

You’re a troll because your information is false and dishonest, and you attempt to present yourself falsely.

I expect people to disagree with my posts at times, and I don’t mind that they tell me. I do that myself, but I get cranky at personal attacks. I have noticed I can be mistaken, but I don’t make stuff up.

Doing fine. No more riding, though. Health issues. You still riding?

Undeniably true.

"I’m not either. I love the way Trump is trashing the GOPe/ Liberal china shops but Cruz has been fighting against the Washington Elites long before Trump."

You know, before reading Cruz's book, I'd never had a first-hand account of how open and in-your-face the GOPe is with its new members in Washington. They laugh with each other about pulling one over on the idiots back home. It really is enough to make a person rage.

No, same problem, health issues. Hubby is still riding though at 79 and this summer I rescued a 20+ app mare, lame and partially blind and not registered but sweet as can be - comes to see me every time I go out. And I can look out the window and see her grazing. :)

Honey, I didn’t make up that information, that was the New York Times quoting Kentucky law. You have a reading comprehension problem.

Trump’s right on this. The First Amendment doesn’t generally extend to government employees. You have a constitutional right to your rekigious beliefs but you don’t have a constitutional right to a government job.

I still have a pretty little paint mare to look at, a couple of mini’s that I’ve had for many years, the same donkey I’ve always had and 2 llamas landed in my lap recently.

you’re right, and what happens when a muslim who follows sharia law is elected? so he could only issue marriage licenses to those who practice sharia law? You can substitute any religion in the blank..

I’m a practicing Catholic and granting annulments by tribunals are few and far between, so that would mean I could deny any divorced person to remarry without an annulment from a catholic tribunal? that would be my conscience right? right?

I smell one sick puppy. That’s it, conversation (actually, the lack of it) is now over. Buzz off.
