[Conscience of a Conservative]

If your government orders you to run concentration camps, you run concentration camps.

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.

The running of concentration camps began as the exclusion of Jews from government positions.

I sh*t you not. If you cannot see where this is going, then I have no hope of enlightening you as to the danger.

Slippery slope to the same exact thing.

If you cannot comprehend that, then you are part of the problem.

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.

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.
