In 2004, 75% of the voters of Kentucky passed this Constitutional amendment:
Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.

I agree with the other commenters: Only can God can dictate what marriage is and what marriage isn't. County clerks deliver nothing more than a piece of paper.
The fact that Kim Davis and her act of defiance was transmitted across the MSM tells me that the MSM has found some benefit: fanning the flames of the liberal left to have even more resolve in their fight for homosexual "equal" rights and gain support from on the fence moderates who see Kim's defiance as yet another example of "discrimination."
Unless there is a direct benefit of reporting a particular news story, the media would be silent, in Kim Davis' case, the MSM didn't shy away.
While she may be in fact a "hero" the slithering snakes still found a way to further their cause.

The government has no business being in marriage licensing business. This is the root of the problem. Did Kim Davis issue marriage licenses to Jews, Muslims, Atheists? What say should any government have in this matter? It is sacred. It's the licensing of it that makes it less sacred.
Let Jews get married in their temples, atheists wherever they choose, satanists, etc. Do you think my God (Christ) thinks less of my marriage to my beautiful wife?
Arguing about Kim Davis continues to legitimize the governments control in what should be a private matter between individuals. Satanic trickery.

I've been put in jail for contempt of court three times. Contempt is the court's way of extorting compliance when no wrong has been committed. In my case, I wouldn't fill out IRS forms and I sat in jail for 88 days back in 2004. I told the govtards that when they could prove the liability for the income tax, I may consider filling out the forms. Without proof of liability, I could not fill out the forms without lying. They never came back with a proof of liability. In Kim Davis' case, she would not issue marriage licenses to queers. That's understandable because homosexuals break God's laws, and since she obviously believes in God, it makes sense that she would take this stand.
No one likes to go to jail but sometimes that is the only honorable way to deal with the problem. Mrs. Davis' case has different problems than mine but just as interesting. She probably swore an oath to uphold the laws. The judge in her case said something like "oaths mean things.." This is her legal problem. As a believer in God, she should never hold public office as it is set up now because oath taking is forbidden. However, even with the oath, there is no authority for any government to override a man or woman's conscience when performing a job for the govtards. The problem here, and why I believe she went to jail is that she swore an oath and the judge was holding her to that position. This is why I keep telling people not to swear any oaths. There's nothing but trouble associated with them.
The government is not "the supreme law of the land." God's laws are the supreme law of the land and no one can argue that point. Here is where Kim's position is rock-solid. God's commandments and the natural laws forbid homosexuality as it is a complete abomination. Marriage is to be between a man and a woman. Sex is for the procreation of children and it isn't a recreational sport. Kim stood her ground on this point. Working for a bunch of perverts in the government is going to cause her more aggravation. Government is disgusting and I don't see how this woman can work for them. Cleaning toilets is better than the highest office in government.
In addition, men and women who want to be married do not need a license from the STATE, State, or state. They can simply be husband and wife under their own authority.

As evidence of how much more insanely intolerant Canadian authorities are, grandmother Linda Gibbons has cumulatively served 10 years and 7 months in prison for peacefully protesting against abortion. Canada is a land in which personal rights count for nothing in the face of Political Correctnes

Thank you for this article Henry. Also, thank you for speaking on behalf of Kim Davis and her strong Christian faith.
The de -Christianization of the Supreme Court was accelerated with the last 3 appointees starting with Ruth Ginsberg who Hillary Clinton helped sponsor. President Obama then finished the process with the appointments of Kagan and Sotomeyer. This tilted the Supreme Court away from the will of the moral majority and replaced it with the will of the perverted minority as the new "law of the land".
Kim Davis has shown great courage and conviction in the face of this MSM onslaught against her.
They let her out of jail because they feared that by keeping her there she would be recognized as a martyr for Christianity and they didn't want that movement gaining any support.
I'm still waiting to hear voices of support for Kim Davis from the Vatican, the Jewish synagogues, and the Protestant Church. Where are you Pope Francis, Rabbi Kahn, and John Hagee? Why aren't you actively supporting this woman?

Now to the issue of the states, who DO have the authority to make laws regarding marriage. In 2006 the state of Kentucky passed a law saying that marriage was between a man and a woman. It has never been overturned by the Kentucky State Supreme Court. That law was in effect when Kim Davis ran for her position as clerk and she is doing nothing but enforcing the proper laws of her state. Even the governor of Kentucky does not have the right to overrule this law, as he has tried to do. Only the Kentucky State Supreme Court can do that and it hasn't.
Why don't the voters of Kentucky use the proper procedure and impeach Mrs. Davis? Simple. The majority of them approve of what she is doing, which is why the State of Kentucky passed it's marriage laws in the first place.
Now then, consider the case of Massachusetts. According to it's authority, it did pass a law allowing gay marriage. That was the whole idea of our government in the first place. States could be individual laboratories testing what would work with their own populations. It would be a simple matter for those few homosexual deviants who wish to promise to put their penis in each other's rectum for the rest of their lives to simply go there. They could then call it "marriage" if they wanted. They have absolutely no right under our constitution to impose their beliefs on people who reject them. We are supposed to be democratic republic. The minority is not supposed to call the shots.
Kim Davis is doing her job as she was elected to do by the voters of her state. If anyone belongs in jail it is the five unelected judges on the Supreme Court who overstepped their authority and tried to make a law in an area where they had no business. Also, the federal Judge who put Kim Davis in jail for five days should be with them. He, too, should have known that marriage no business of the federal government.
