HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding the arrest of Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis:
“Today, judicial lawlessness crossed into judicial tyranny. Today, for the first time ever, the government arrested a Christian woman for living according to her faith. This is wrong. This is not America.
“I stand with Kim Davis. Unequivocally. I stand with every American that the Obama Administration is trying to force to chose between honoring his or her faith or complying with a lawless court opinion.
“In dissent, Chief Justice Roberts rightly observed that the Court’s marriage opinion has nothing to do with the Constitution. Justice Scalia observed that the Court’s opinion was so contrary to law that state and local officials would choose to defy it.
“For every politician — Democrat and Republican — who is tut-tutting that Davis must resign, they are defending a hypocritical standard. Where is the call for the mayor of San Francisco to resign for creating a sanctuary city — resulting in the murder of American citizens by criminal illegal aliens welcomed by his lawlessness?
“Where is the call for President Obama to resign for ignoring and defying our immigration laws, our welfare reform laws, and even his own Obamacare?
“When the mayor of San Francisco and President Obama resign, then we can talk about Kim Davis.
“Those who are persecuting Kim Davis believe that Christians should not serve in public office. That is the consequence of their position. Or, if Christians do serve in public office, they must disregard their religious faith–or be sent to jail.
“Kim Davis should not be in jail. We are a country founded on Judeo-Christian values, founded by those fleeing religious oppression and seeking a land where we could worship God and live according to our faith, without being imprisoned for doing so.
“I call upon every Believer, every Constitutionalist, every lover of liberty to stand with Kim Davis. Stop the persecution now.”
Good job!
Excellent post.
It’s good to see where the inspiration came from for the foundation of this Great Country.
No wonder it has lasted to long with the same Constitution.
(Many countries change their constitutions as if they are changing a pair of socks.)
We must protect it.
This comes from the head Muslim. He is making an example of her even though in normal times Pharoah would not have, www legal leg to stand on.
What are we supposed to do? Congress has a very low level of testosterone and most will not help.
B U M P
What an out in left field that statement is.
Satan copies God as often as he thinks he can get away with it.
What do you think our Founding Fathers would have done?
What are we supposed to do?
FR is your bully pulpit. Might be a good time to use it.
That is a direct quotation from the bible.
Acts 5:29 "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
Notice it is ARRESTING. Not impeaching. There is a process for dealing with such an issue, and THIS IS NOT IT.
(crickets)
And based on his Time to Move On attitude, I expect he won't CAN'T say anything.
I think she is an excellent example in standing up against judicial tyranny. The pervs are in charge. Glad Ted is highlighting her efforts. If more clerks would do the same it would be excellent.
Hmmm...Founding Fathers would have 1) Literally surrounded the jail and prayed aloud for Ms Davis and/or 2) they would have shown up with a militia or 3) they would have stood on the steps of the courthouse giving speeches.
Tagline by George Washington.
She did her job. She obeyed State Law.
What makes you say she was unwilling to do her job?
Obeying men is what nazis and commies do.
Chastisement can be a blessing. Repentance and conversion are graces and the results of grace.
We Americans desperately need them.
Daniel 6:3-5
3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
AMEN!!!
That's what Muslims say.
They're wrong about God. Dead wrong. Damnably wrong.
The gays lied when they said their marriage would not impact heterosexuals.
The gays lied when they said all they wanted was to be able to live their life just like heterosexuals.
So far Cruz and huckabee have stood with Freedom on this issue. Where are the others!
My point exactly, thanks for the scriptural reference.
Ted Cruz, kicking ass!
I love the way he called out the hypocritical double standard.
