I stood up for Kim Davis, the County Clerk in Kentucky who went to jail for her "faith" for refusing to issue Marriage Licenses to same-sex couples. However, I'm sure everyone knows by now that Kim Davis announced that she is a life-long Democrat. What's up with that? She spends her entire life supporting a Party, and politicians, who propagate Homo marriages AND killing little unborn babies in the womb; now she gets all "holy". That is hypocrisy in the highest form.
We recently moved to rural WV, which I suspect is a lot like KY.
People are very conservative. They generally vote R in fed (with exceptions). State elections can go either way. Local elections are almost all D.
Part of it is tradition. Part of it is residual unionism. Part of it is there isn’t as much local Republican organization. People here are openly pro-life and openly Christian almost to a person.
It’s perplexing to an outsider. Having come from a D stronghold (Cleveland) I will say that the Democrats here are more conservative than the Republicans in NE Ohio.
For now, these rural areas are still pretty far removed from DC’s influence and I suspect that has a lot to do with the disconnect between the local Dems and the national party.
Am I telling the truth? Most of the women I know from that sect are kind of mean spirited - gossipers. Not all, but most.
Let’s see your fat butt before you cast aspersions on this woman. She went to jail for her beliefs - what have you done, lately?
Kentucky may have very conservative Democrats for all I know.
But, for them to vote D regardless of their reasoning is agreeing with abortion, gay marriage and removing of God from the platform - also not recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel - These people need to wake up
It doesn’t matter if this woman was The devil incarnate. The point is still the same. She was wrongly arrested and jailed.
I got some news for you if you are a Christian, they want you in jail as well they just don’t have the reason yet.
You need to reverse your cranial rectumous and understand what the issue really is and it is not Kim Davis.
They believe in Jesus - do they not believe in God? I’m reminded me of a Jewish friend who asked me why Christians never talked about God, only Jesus.
I hope to figure it out one of these days. We haven’t been there long enough to probe the details of many people’s political leanings yet.
Exactly! My support for her isn't about who she is as a person it's about her legal standing under the Constitution and the government's ignorance and contempt of it.
You are dead-on right!
My in-laws are this type: County (Union) job keeps em strongly democrat yet, they are gun aficionados and gripe about how this country isn’t what it used to be! (Like during WW2 , when folks were decent...)
Try telling them that their beloved party caused the undesired changes and they’ll fight you to the death on how it was rich republicans who ruined everything in America over the years!
FYI per Breitbart Big Government
Davis has been divorced three times. One of her mothers-in-law was a devout Christian whose dying wish four years ago was for Davis to attend church. Davis explained in a statement that she started attending a Bible-believing church. There I heard a message of grace and forgiveness and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ. She became a born-again Christian, remarried, became active in her church, and leads a Bible study at the local jail.
The ones I’ve met, both men and women are God fearing, hardworking, decent people. They’re business owners, contractors and professionals, one gentleman’s wife I met is an RN and very pleasant. Can’t speak to the gossip thing as I haven’t witnessed that.
Yeah, and the Woman at the Well just wanted a reality TV show
They believe that Jesus is God the Father - not the Son. It’s rather complicated. Here is a quick summary.

Din Maker, can you tell me what constitutional statute is applicable to the Kim Davis issue and shows that pro-gay activist justices wrongly legislated the so-called right to gay marriage from the bench?
“Try telling them that their beloved party caused the undesired changes and theyll fight you to the death on how it was rich republicans who ruined everything in America over the years!”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
In an unintended sense, they are somewhat right. It WAS, in large part, rich (Liberal) Republicans that ruined our country - the RINO Rockefeller Republicans who were just as much in bed with government as any Democrat.
Sounds like a Jerry Springer "Cheaters" episode followed by a "Who's the Baby Daddy" episode on Maury Povich.
STFU
I believe that you have a very positive view of this whole situation. How can one very ordinary woman create such a stir? All she did was to take a stand based upon her faith.
And yet countless people are suspicious of her motivations. Their scepticism has poisoned this forum. As Christians we are faced with a deadly and steady onslaught from those who resist the power of religion. We rarely retaliate since that is not the way we respond. Many have this jaded,Elmer Gantry view of Christians, especially the Pentecostals, which I am one. Yet our strong faith should never be something we apologize for.
