The Rude Pundit - Mike Huckabee: "Lawbreaker Kim Davis Is Totally Tits"

Actual Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee (campaign slogan: "Ahma eat awl theez heer gritz 'cuz Jeezus tole me to&quot supports jailed lawbreaker Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who violated a court order to issue marriage licenses to couples, same sex or otherwise. She is being held in contempt, but Huckabee is also demonstrating contempt for education by telling the hick fucknuts who make up his supporters wrong info about how the nation works.

Says Huckabee in a statement today, "Kim is asking the perfect question: 'Under what law am I authorized to issue homosexual couples a marriage license?' That simple question is giving many in Congress a civics lesson that they never got in grade school." You may think, "Um, the law that says you do what courts tell you to do, especially when the Supreme Court said to do it," but you would be happy to have the Devil balls deep in your face, sinning liberal.

He continues, "The Supreme Court cannot and did not make a law. They only made a ruling on a law. Congress makes the laws. Because Congress has made no law allowing for same sex marriage, Kim does not have the Constitutional authority to issue a marriage license to homosexual couples." If you were a fucking dumbass, you'd think that Huckabee's right, goshdarnit. And he is, except for being so wrong.

Let's explain this so that anyone can explain it to their fuckwit relatives. The law says that two adult people are allowed to get married. If a state carves out an exception to the law, like that two people of the same sex aren't allowed, that is discrimination. The Supreme Court, who, under the Constitution, is in fact made up of unelected judges, said that the law on marriage has to cover everyone equally. That's not making a law. That is making a ruling on the law, which is what Mike Huckabee says they're supposed to do.

But, of course, of course, this is really about the God shit. You can read it all yourself. Huckabee needs to have some reason to exist in this presidential race. Fuck it. This may as well be his Schiavo moment.

You get points for not saying Jeebus as you are not Homer Simpson.

Unfortunately we take away far more points as Jesus was responding to a question about paying taxes. For those who want to read what he said, try starting at Mathew 22:17.

they believe in their belief system, it is fair territory. The clerk is wrong in so many different areas, but like a lot of Pentecostals I have known, they all want to prove that they are stronger and have stronger beliefs than everyone else. Always wanting to believe that they are willing to die for Christ or go to jail for Christ etc. She is wrong on so may fronts.

undserstand and tell me that "that is what a Christian is". Well I am not one of those people who like to criticize others, ostracize different people, condemn those who I may not see eye to eye with. I have learned a lot through life having atheist friends, Hindu friends, Moslem, Jewish and even Satanic friends, friends who only believe in themselves and friends who believe in nothing. The only ones I really feel sorry for are the "Rapture people". The ones that believe because they said some magic words before they were dunked in the water, that why can do anything they want to do and God will save them. And Jesus will come and take them away and leave all bad people on Earth.

Block 'o text is blocky.

The rapture people, was Nicolas Cage in that?

Again, not knowing about what you speak is kind of criticizing people. It's a strawman to say what you think others believe and then respond to your argument and not theirs. Unless it's done out of love then it's OK.

The Bible is full of batshit crazy ideas. It is an attempt by people to explain the world around them without the benefit of knowledge about the world around them. We know better now.

No doubt he now supports Sharia Law and basic anarchy at least at the county clerk level.

Say a Muslim gets into a clerk position and refuses to let Christians get licenses or issues licenses for men to have multiple wives.

The GOP/Republican establishment really couldn't gives two fucks about xianity or religion in general, other than its a very effective tool to create division amounst the people. They've been doing it for decades and are really very good at it.

That is precisely why I label the GOP as the theocratic party. After all, all one has to do is listen to them. Religious freedom? Cruz? Carson? Hucklebuck? Santorum? Abortion laws? Opposition to women's health care? And foremost, their collective reaction to the SCOTUS gay marriage decision -- which I might add, the only possible opposition to is religious! Consider how many GOP folks claim that the USA is a "Christian country".

It becomes pretty apparent who their base is.

My best to you.

and it strikes down laws that are not consistent with the Constitution. Congress cannot make a law establishing a religion. If it did and the President signed it, the courts could strike it down because the Constitution says Congress may not do this. It's not democracy, because when the majority wants a thing like that, the Constitution stops it. It protects minorities from persecution this way.

I tried to call him Huckabee, but autocorrect fixes it. (F)uckabee

used to justify killing doctors that do abortions. I wonder how far Kim and her followers would go to prevent same sex marriages.
