So what's you goal? Would you be offended if I called it a christian Iran? Certainly, since it only counts when muslims do it, doesn't it.
You're being really nice. I'd assume he wants a Christian ISIS.

Excellent. Nothing like good ol' martyrdom to keep the pot boiling.

And yet, it will remain an established matter of law, untouchable by legislation or the executive branch.
Tilt at windmills much?

Just saw this in my fb newsfeed; a little old (from September 5th) but the video at the end of the article is amusing:
Chris Hayes Schools Kim Davis’s Lawyer on His Client’s Religious Hypocrisy, Ignorance (Video)
http://www.forwardprogressives.com/chris...nce-video/
Quote:Well, during an interview on MSNBC, Davis’s lawyer (and Christian radio host) Mat Staver got absolutely embarrassed when he was pressed by Chris Hayes to defend his client’s stance based on legal grounds – not hollow rhetoric.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.

Claims, claims, nothing but claims. I don't take "no, you!" seriously unless you put more down than just petulance.

National prominence with, as usual, the small minority of bigoted conservative panderers pretending that they've got far greater support than they actually have, whilst everyone else gets to see exactly what a bunch of ignorant liars your side is. They get to see a group of people who don't even seem to understand the actual reason Davis is in jail and who tip their hand quite wonderfully; for all the claims of this being about Davis' religious freedom it only takes a cursory glance at all the signs spewing hate against gay marriage at her support rally to see that in actuality, it's about naked bigotry wrapped up in buzzwords because your side lacks the courage and intellectual fortitude to face the consequences of your beliefs, from a country that's largely tired of your hateful bullshit.
Your side is lying about the nature of this case, and your actions show it. All the close attention this case has been getting is demonstrating is the fundamental dishonesty of the christian right. That you care so little about the establishment clause that you're just chomping at the bit for more fundagelical power plays is just icing on the cake. "Freedom of religion," you cry, and then show in the very next sentence that all you really want is christian dominance. Pathetic.

There was a national debate because of her?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA.
No seriously. This did not spark a national debate. That's delusional. The debate is over. The Supreme Court has ruled. The only people still having a debate are doing it in their own little minority group of bigots. Patting yourselves on the back and agreeing with yourselves is NOT a debate.
The other side won, so they don't need to debate it anymore. Get over it.
The only national thing she caused was her own media whoring. Like a Kardashian...but uglier.

Your side still lost: either Davis complies with the court order and her county stats issuing marriage licenses, in which case us non-bigots have achieved our win condition (I'd remind you that this was literally exactly the deal that Davis was offered and refused after her first go around in court) or she doesn't comply with the order, goes back to jail, and the county continues to issue gay marriage licenses as it has been doing in her absence.
There is no possible way this goes in which we don't win, and your side doesn't lose, but if it makes you feel better for you and yours to cling to this tiny, irrelevant side point like the rats on a sinking ship that you are, then so be it.

Fat chance. The demographics are against religionists in general, and the business wing of the GOP deeply distrusts the religious right.

Offer 'em up, then. We're a nation of laws, as even you shall learn.

My favorite thing that happened today: Mike Fuckabee's staffer forced Ted Cruz off the stage so Fuckabee would be the only one to use the event to campaign. Fucking showing your cards plain and simple, Fuckabee.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
