“If John Cox had just gotten 4% more of the vote – which in Morehead, Kentucky is like, what, six people – if John Cox had just tied a Baja Blast on a string to a stick and lured some hillbillies out of their mobile meth lab and down to the voting stump – we would not be watching Kim …

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.

He said he …

“For the first time in American history a woman has been imprisoned by the government for merely exercising her Christian faith. War has been declared on Christ and His followers. And there’s no turning back. Here’s the formula: 1) Force affirmation of homosexual behavior, abortion or some other institutionalized sin via judicial fiat; 2) Christian objects, refuses to disobey God …

JMG reader TampaDink points us to this rollicking ode to Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis. Everybody sing!

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 …

Breitbart legal editor Ken Klukowski used to be the “Director Of Religious Liberty” at the Family Research Council and these days he’s the senior counsel at the equally foul Liberty Institute.

“What happens if a clerk doesn’t approve of a couple that wants to get married? Can a clerk keep their job AND follow their conscience?”

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: “Washington Watch” host Craig James, the Family Research Council official who mentioned his own lawsuit against Fox Sports for terminating his job as a football analyst over comments he made mocking gay rights, said that America is now on a “slippery slope” of anti-Christian persecution and legal organizations like Liberty Counsel need to …

Maggie Gallagher whined too soon as this morning Donald Trump addressed the jailing of Kim Davis on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. But she still will be VERY unhappy.

Suck it, Kim Davis! The Lexington Herald-Leader reports: James Yates and William Smith Jr. paid $35.50 and filled out some paperwork early Friday to become the first couple to get a marriage license in Rowan County since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage June 26, prompting a license ban by County Clerk Kim Davis.

“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 …

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.

“Hours ago a federal judge jailed Kentucky clerk Kim Davis in an act of judicial tyranny. Judge David Bunning wants to force her to abandon her Christian principles and personally participate in validating same-sex ‘marriages’ by putting her name on the license. Federal law says that the government must provide a reasonable accommodation for people with deeply held religious beliefs, …

“The rule of law is dead — unless you’re a Christian or a conservative, in which case the left will use the law to throw you in prison. Complete lack of rule of law is anarchy; selective rule of law is tyranny. Any nation that throws Kim Davis in jail but leaves Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Gavin Newsome, Kamala Harris, …
