Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul wrote that his state’s Democratic governor should “take a step back” regarding Easter church service coronavirus measures.
This week, Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear announced Easter weekend measures for Kentucky churches and other mass gatherings that included recording license plates of church attendees and turning them into health departments so they can make the attendees “self-quarantine” for two weeks.
“Taking license plates at church?” Paul tweeted Friday night. “Quarantining someone for being Christian on Easter Sunday? Someone needs to take a step back here.”
It seems that the governor didn’t bother to listen to Rand Paul but the people also didn’t listen to the Governor.
Maryville Baptist Church in Hillview, Kentucky drew what seemed to be nearly a full house Sunday morning. A reporter for Louisville’s Courier-Journal captured images in the parking lot … where you could hear the pastor leading the congregation in song.

Kentucky State Police were circling the parking lot of a church that’s packed for Easter service — defying state orders — and issuing warnings, if not citations.
Following Beshear’s license plate order, which applies anyone who attends an in-person church service or any mass gathering, police will refer those motorists to local health departments, which will then order 14-day quarantines – although several attendees told The Courier Journal they have no intention of following the order.
The notifications also say the health department will contact the car owner, and his or her family members, and require them to quarantine for 14 days.
Unclear, if they’re issuing tickets, but the notice does warn the churchgoers they may be committing a misdemeanor by violating the state’s emergency order.

Shortly before the service began, volunteers were clearing the parking lot of nails, apparently left there by someone who wanted to discourage the service … which is violating Kentucky’s safer-at-home order. Gatherings of more than 10 people are illegal.
Rev. Jack Roberts had to call for help to clean up piles of nails scattered at the entrances to the church parking lot.
The nails appeared to have been dumped at the entrances to block cars from entering the church that is in the Bullitt County community of Hillview, just south of the Jefferson County line.
Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that the mainstream media suppress.
Two short decades ago, this would have been utterly unthinkable.
We are losing out freedom to a tech industry driven bunch of fascists. They love anything global, any culture not traditionally American, and anything deviant or perverted.
Even at the state and local level, they passionately hate Christians and gun owners.
Use their data and AI against them.
Some Christians might decide to protect themselves some day. Some might call it a sin. But I guess that’s one more thing that proves we needed a redeemer.
The state is trying to get some of the stimulus money.

Vote harvesting that’s how.
Nails on Easter, no less
Dumping nails at church parking lot entrances is banana republic stuff and thoroughly un-American. That governor must be driven out of office and the police department thoroughly purged from the chief right down to the mail room clerk.
How is that even legal??

Kentucky and West Virginia are a special kind of stupid and are mentally still stuck in 1936. Conservatives only accidentally get elected here.
The KY Churches need to print up some of those “Miss Me Yet?” posters with Bevin’s picture.
The truly obscene part of this post is that sworn officers of law enforcement willingly participated in the travesty. We cannot expect LEOs to side with citizens when things really go bad.
It isn't, but per the article, that isn't what this church was doing. This church is being a very poor neighbor and acting irresponsibly.
That said, sending state troopers to a church gives me great pause...to say the least.
This wasn’t a drive in service per the article.
We should begin waging war on these out of control governors and mayors
