Mike Huckabee to Hold Rally in Kentucky in Support of Kim Davis

Source: Sunshine State News

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee, R-Ark., announced he will hold a rally in Kentucky to support Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis who is now in jail after being held in contempt by a federal judge for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses despite a Supreme Court decision.

Now making a second presidential bid, Huckabee moved to the Florida Panhandle after his 2008 campaign. Huckabee and Mat Staver from Liberty Counsel will hold the rally in Kentucky on Tuesday.

"This is a reckless, appalling, out-of-control decision that undermines the Constitution of the United States and our fundamental right to religious liberty,” Huckabee said on Thursday night. “Having Kim Davis in federal custody removes all doubt of the criminalization of Christianity in our country. We must defend religious liberty and never surrender to judicial tyranny.

"What a world, where Hillary Clinton isn't in jail but Kim Davis is," Huckabee added.

Honest. Just a few minutes ago.

I was wondering if the cops and jail had plans if they started showing up in mass.

How about "selling bibles is against my religion".

Selling penis pills?

Selling condoms?

Selling KY Jelly?

Selling lies on Fox?

Now wait a minute.....

There are religions where you are not supposed to gamble, own a gun, eat beef, eat pork, eat meat at all, drink alcohol, dance, etc. I would support her right to express her religious opposition by quitting her job in protest to the law. I cannot support her breaking the law.

his good friend Ted Nugent. That would really show his friendship and support of child molesters and people who cheat on their partners along with his disdain for constitutional law. He looks so stupid after saying how Duggar repented and is such a child of god, HA. Child of the devil is more like it. Kim Davis is the same. She insists she has the right to refuse to recognize people's right to marry and push her version of christianity on others. Only, she doesn't follow her own faith and teachings either. Mike is just stupid and wrong in this as in so many other things.

many turn away from Religion because of his views. He is an incompetent fool using the Conservatives radicals, Fox News to believe him. He is so far away from GOD views.

M. Huckabee is the first to protect the Conservative rapist, felons and other criminals in the GOP.

be neutral about religion, but he reveals what some are like who claim to be ever so pious. He uses religion as a cover to practice what he loves, and that is vile hatred for others. And sadly there are many like him in some religious flocks.

The more the republican candidates talk about their anti gay marriage beliefs, the more people they turn off. Gay marriage isn't up for debate anymore in this country. It is the law as it should be. Most people support gay marriage including many republicans. This just shows that republican candidates would rather waste time on dead issues than all of the other issues. This isn't going to help his campaign and it won't change a single thing. His is just preaching to a small choir that is getting smaller every day. I would be happy to see the tea party rallies come back. They just made the republicans look really stupid to the majority of the voters in this country.

Huckabee and his fellow hucksters know exactly how to get on Fox News. He says it's a war on Christians, and Hillary Clinton should be in jail. Double load of manure, guaranteed to get multiple comments on Fox News.
