(EDITORIAL NOTE: A POST I MADE AROUND 5AM THIS MORNING LAYS OUT THE NEAT TRICK JUDGE DAVID BUNNING APPEARS TO BE PULLING TO AVOID MARTYRDOM FOR KIM DAVIS. I MENTION IT BRIEFLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST BUT I WAS LOGGED OFF FREE REPUBLIC AFTER 5AM SO THE POST COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE FRONTPAGE NEWS SECTION)
There have been some on Free Republic asking about Donald Trump's view of Rowan County, Kentucky Chief Kim Davis's act of civil disobedience over gay marriage.
Whatever, I think what counts is that both of them in their own way expose the fake conservatism of the Republican Party apparatus.
Trump has called their bluff on Amnesty and invasion of illegal immigrants. Davis calls their bluff on 'family values' and 'religious freedom'.
When Operation Rescue was coming down in the late 1980's with abortion clinic blockades across the country I held management responsibility for a mainstream media organization and I caught flak not just from the Pro-Abortion liberals for coverage (they knew I was Pro-Life) but from the "Pro-Life Movement".
The National Right To Life operatives didn't want Operation Rescue coverage because civil disobedience disrupted their political approach of gradualism.
This meant using emotional wedges like abortions for minors, at military bases, partial birth and so on to raise money and support Republican politicians who were were "Pro-Life" and would give us the "Pro-Life, Pro-Family" SCOTUS justices who would someday overturn Roe vs. Wade.
We know where that's left us at this moment.....
As I posted earlier my hunch is that Judge Bunning is trying to get things over with quickly and relieve Kim Davis of any 'martyr' status ASAP.
It looks like a neat trick from a Republican Establishment judge.
In a few minutes the gay plantiffs enter the Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk's Office. They get marriage licenses from the clerks who told the judge they would give them.
Then Bunning gets to release Davis I strongly suspect.
I suggested the alternate "We Shall Not Be Moved" scenario involving concerned citizens.
We shall see things play out momentarily.
You’ll note that this thread also got moved to “chat”.
That should be a clue. Your writings are not “news”.
She’s from an old-line Democrat county where regardless of your ideology, you have to run as one in order to win (though it is transitioning). There still remain a few principled non-leftists holding lesser offices, such as Miss Davis.
Still with the personal attacks - fake preacher, as well, I wager.
(the dead vote)
Really? Doesn't she know that the RATs are a bunch of queer baby-killers?
fake military person are you not?
Only the fact you haven’t been here long enough to know better excuses you...
That......was stupid.
So anyone whom differs on the worthless Trump has not been around long enough. Seems like the judge whom ordered davis to jail also has another agenda - re-education of young children’s minds to be accepting of the gay agenda since 2003.
For your information, pastor of three churches in the Upper peninsula of Michigan however I have been on a sabbatical to take care of mother whom has Alzheimer’s she has been placed in a nursing home, so soon my sabbatical will be over. I also served in the marine corps as a translator while serving in the middle east. I was free republic for many years at one time I had to step away because of serious medical condition requiring extensive surgical procedures. so old sarge just remember there are people whom will always differ regarding Trump here on FR. That is what will be, because we question whether he is not the best choice to lead America. so continue to try and convince us otherwise. Because when we see trump we see a liar just like Obama, the same type of grandiose!
It’s Conscientious Objection. If she were dodging the draft she would be a hero..
Sorry to hear of your illness. I pray you are well now.
And welcome back to FR!
Please tell us, what was your former FReeper handle?
Thank You!
I knew there was a legal precedent lurking there somewhere and you’ve hit on it.
(Brain blockage!)
Folks, we have here a Free Republic FIRST: some one accusing ME of Stolen Valor.
Have at him.

Don’t be too concerned, I was once accused here of dying my beard gray. (Graybeard)
Do NOT presume to insult one of our military heroes, you putz.
Hell I get called an America hating Obama/Hillary supporter, paid by Soros, fairly often ....step your game up and upset more of them man!!!!! ;)
Human garbage says lots of things with nothing but BS to back it up. I doubt he/she/cis finds much support here for their position.
Just to be honest with you, Trump wasn’t a very good democrat either. Nor is he a very good republican.
Since I don’t want to be associated with either, that’s ok with me.
And the judge that jailed her is a Republican.
