The Firestorm Surrounding County Clerk Kim Davis

Kim Davis

by John Velisek, Contributing Author: Kim Davis, a devout Christian, has been sent to jail for the belief that homosexuality is immoral. The Christian church has been under considerable pressure to change its teachings on homosexuality to conform to the modern “standards” that are being forced on society. Christian children in public schools are being indoctrinated into believing that homosexuality is a “right” because the Supreme Court said so. The State is not required to follow and religious teachings as evident in some of the decisions that our courts have made. Neither do the courts, as an entity of the state, have the right to create and enforce laws against religious teachings.

Mrs. Davis is an elected Rowan County Clerk and as such is required to fulfill the duties of her office as required by Kentucky law. She is paid well, and as any employee, is required to follow the rules as pertains to her job. Being a Member of public service she is required to follow the laws and do the jobs as given to her. Even the White House, through Josh Earnest stated today that she should follow the law just as President Obama does. (OK, stop laughing; I saw Earnest say this on video.)

Mitch McConnell, that bastion of conservatism, wouldn’t comment, calling it a state issue. Rand Paul stated this “If you want to convince people that same sex marriage is something that should be acceptable, I would say try to persuade the people. If you are going to use the federal government and get involved in every locality it is going to harden peoples resolve.”

That being said, there are troubling issues here. Christians are being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. Following the "Word of God" is the responsibility of every Christian. The damage is done when the word of a tyrannical government is considered above the "Word of God."

I am confident in saying there is no right anywhere in the Constitution that requires gay marriage to be allowed. It is only the power of the Supreme Court and five progressive judges who sit there that has given this so called right to homosexuals. The Constitution makes quite clear that the states have the right to make laws on subjects not specifically given to the federal government. This is one of those cases where the Supreme Court is making laws rather than examining, and enforcing them.

Kim Davis is a Christian. She has out her Christian faith above all else in an act of civil disobedience that puts all she holds dear at risk. Tyranny has turned on less, and the lies that have been told about homosexuality have claimed its first victim.
