Why can't people get that Kim Davis isn't getting out of jail?

Ignorance!

I will gladly serve Kim Davis jail time. Its a sad day and time that Christians are persecuted and fed to the lions like they were 2,000 years ago. Even more sad that the atheists and gays are ruining marriage.

It's totally up to her when she gets out. She's being held in contempt of court.

She will crack and recant eventually. Just like how the Atheist Cool Hand Luke cracked on that Georgia chain gang. America always wins.

I expected her to lose her job or get reassigned, not get thrown in jail. I'm guessing that's what she thought too.

A lot of good things have happened in this country because of civil disobedience.

Civil disobedience is the active, public, conscientious breach of the law to bring about a change in law or public policy. Henry David Thoreau coined the term in 1848 in his essay about his refusal as an abolitionist to pay the poll tax. Thoreau argued that citizens ought deliberately to break laws that conflict with their moral beliefs.

In 1872, Susan B. Anthony walked into a barbershop and cast her vote for Ulysses S. Grant for President of the United States. That action got her arrested and thrown in jail.

Anyone recall what kind of legislation that action led to?

In the 1920's, things got out of hand with civil disobedience - speakeasies and an entire sub-culture of bootlegging operated outside the Volstead Act. Things got pretty violent, but Prohibition was repealed as a result. When the law is wrong, oppressive and overbearing, people respond with disobedience and laws get changed.

In 1955, Rosa Parks decided to disobey the law and sit in the front of the bus, and not give up her seat to a white passenger. She, too, got thrown in jail for her action. Lots of "law and order" types came out of the woodwork then, calling for her to stay in jail for her "uppity" conscience.

Anyone live through the 1960's? The Vietnam War? The draft? Anyone have friends or relatives thrown in jail because their opposition to the war and conscientious objection made them break a law they saw as unjust and immoral? I did. I have friends living in Canada to this day - expatriates who for years would have been arrested and imprisoned on sight if they returned to this country.

How about Martin Luther King, Jr.? Heard of him? Dr. Kingand others made civil disobedience a cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement, defying Jim Crow laws through sit-ins, violating laws and court orders prohibiting marches and boycotts, and accepting jail sentences to highlight racial injustice.

Plenty of people have stood up for their rights in the face of an over-reaching government and gotten themselves arrested and jailed because of it - and as a result, in most cases, the country became stronger and better.

I personally have nothing against gay marriage - except that I think the government should be out of the marriage business altogether. I've said before that I'd be happy to turn in my marriage certificate for a domestic partnership agreement if that agreement were offered to any two people who want to set up a contractual partnership involving tax law, succession, health care and every other legal benefit of marriage - without the stipulation that these two people be sleeping together or in love. The whole thing is ridiculous.

But the issue is irrelevant. It's not whether I find the current laws immoral or oppressive - or what YOU think of them - they oppress SOME people, and enough people to work to get them changed to include everyone. This is not a country where we jail dissenters - but when we do, it is a wake up call to all of us to question our own beliefs, to sit up and listen, and to work out a compromise.

Perhaps Kim Davis' incarceration will cause us to take a harder look at our marriage laws - and let us recognize that no matter where the government comes down on this issue, half the population will have their rights compromised. There is no way for the government to win this one, except if it just gives up the authority and gets out of the way.

I'm sure that Davis would have had no problem putting her name on a domestic contract.

To answer your question, I get it. I get it just fine. I think it's a very sad commentary on what we have become if this is the way we now handle dissent. I hope you're proud.

She shouldn't be in jail. She should be fired for not doing her job.

I wonder if, according to Ben Carson, the longer she stays in jail, the better chance to has to come out as a lesbian.

WHO CARES>>>You forget how obama forgets the immigration laws or how lois lerner fogot to approve conservative charities. She approved one the whole time she was there. Davis disregard affects maybe ten people. Obamas lawlessness affects millions.

Who said anybody said she wasn't , homo.
