Crackpots

Kentucky’s Carter County has ordered the closures of five schools today because the 3PM Kim Davis hate rally might bring too much traffic for parents and school buses to transport students home. So ridiculous. Let’s spin it this way: Why does Mike Huckabee want to deprive children of an education?

Clip recap: “Anti-Christian persecution begins. Members of The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property travel to Kentucky and find avid support for Kim Davis, a county clerk who was unjustly jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to homosexual couples.”

The Associated Press reports: Supporters of a Kentucky county clerk jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses brought their fight to Northern Kentucky, protesting Monday outside the home of the federal judge who’s jailed her for contempt. About two dozen people, including ministers from Kentucky and North Carolina, demanded Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis be freed, saying she shouldn’t be …

Flip Benham, the crackpot nutcase loony tunes father of those failed reality show twins, has issued a press release which announces that he and fellow Christianists will today descend on the home of federal Judge David Bunning to call for his arrest in the name of Jesus. Or something. It reads: Christians from across the nation will converge on the …

“Ms. Davis didn’t cause this problem. The Supreme Court did. When the court ruled in June that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right, it redefined marriage for the nation, in a way that I and many others do not believe was constitutionally justified. And it redefined Ms. Davis’s job. Had same-sex marriage come to Kentucky through the Legislature, lawmakers could …

George Stephanopoulos today asked Mike Huckabee if he would resign the presidency over gay marriage. Huckabee dodged the question, saying that would never happen because there’s no such thing. Mediaite recaps: Stephanopoulos asked Huckabee exactly what’s the difference between Davis’ actions and refusing to issue interracial marriage licenses. Huckabee insisted it’s totally different because interracial marriage doesn’t “redefine” the institution of …

Not too many names so far. Pity.

With the red-caped Catholic loons at his side, yesterday notorious white supremacist Michael Peroutka spoke at the rally outside the jail holding Kim Davis. Peroutka is a former leader of the League Of The South, which recently “celebrated” the 150th anniversary of the assassination of “tyrant” Abraham Lincoln. The SPLC calls Peroutka “an avid Southern secessionist and radical Christian Reconstructionist.” …

This morning Sarah Palin self-nominated herself as Secretary of Energy in the Trump administration. Palin says it would be a “short-term job” – because she’d abolish the department and therefore the federal government’s oversight of the energy industry. One of the Department of Energy’s main responsibilities is overseeing the nuclear industry and the disposal of radioactive waste. Which we certainly …

World Net Daily whines: The left-leaning fundraising site GoFundMe has declined to accept a fundraising campaign for jailed Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis. Davis was jailed on Thursday for defying a federal court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges in June. She was ordered detained for contempt …

The Lexington Courier-Journal reports: Hundreds of people gathered outside the Carter County Detention Center on Saturday and prayed for jailed Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who was locked up just a few hundred feet away. “She won’t bow, I promise you,” her husband, Joe Davis, told the crowd while dressed in overalls and a camouflage ball cap. He said he …

According to hate group leader Mat Staver, Kim Davis has declared from her jail cell that the marriage licenses issued today in Rowan County are invalid without her signature. Yahoo News reports: A jailed Kentucky clerk asserted that marriage licenses issued without her authority Friday to gay couples in Rowan County are void and “not worth the paper they are …

Last night I tried to buy FreeKimDavis.com but someone had just snatched it up. Whoever that person is, that URL now redirects to the Human Rights Campaign. Snork! (I was selfishly planning on JMG.) Anyway, Mike Huckabee has had to settle on FreeKimDavisNow.com. From World Net Daily: The Internet address FreeKimDavisNow.com goes directly to Huckabee’s campaign site. Huckabee also posted …

Kyle Mantyla recaps at Right Wing Watch: While [Glenn] Beck said that he sympathizes with Davis, he cannot understand why she has not been fired for refusing to do her job. Barton, predictably, responded by asserting that Davis is entirely in the right to refuse to allow her office to issue marriage licenses to gay couples because “the Founding Fathers …

“Kim Davis is showing us what conscience looks like. After all, getting in front of a slavishly approving media à la Ferguson does not confer moral significance on one’s willingness to break the civil law for a higher law. What makes civil disobedience noble is a willingness to sacrifice, if necessary, rather than submit to the civil law. But is …

The Associated Press reports: Speaking to reporters before the licenses were issued Friday, Davis’ husband, Joe Davis, said his wife was in good spirits after her first night in jail. Holding a sign that says “Welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah,” Joe Davis said his wife would not resign from her position and would stay in jail for as long as …

“I stand with Kim Davis! I will not comply! Free Republic is and always will remain a pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site. The recent SCOTUS ruling against marriage is a travesty against God, country and constitution. It is a shot against Christianity. The government has now officially declared war on Christianity and against individual Christians. Kim Davis is the …

Last night Fox commentator Greg Gutfeld declared that President Obama is too stupid and anti-science to realize that global warming will only help make more people want to move to underpopulated Alaska, which Gutfeld helpfully points out is an actual state. His fellow crackpot panelist then managed to throw in a Brokeback Mountain joke because the president is totally gay, …

The right wing Washington Examiner reports: While Kentucky clerk Kim Davis continues to sit in jail after refusing to give out marriage licenses to same-sex couples, Mike Huckabee plans to stand up for her. The former Arkansas governor announced Thursday that he will be heading up a “liberty rally” next Tuesday for the jailed county clerk in Kentucky. According to …
