No, I said she should be fined as a first measure. I absolutely think she should be jalied if she continued to refuse doing her job. I am not opposed to what opinions she have (although I do not agree with them), and if people want to commend her for public disopidience, I can relate to that. I applaud those that opposed segregation in the 50´s and 60´s and were in public positions: I still think they should have received fines or prison for doing so, but I applaud their opinions.

When you take on the role as a public servant it is never the same as having a job in the privcate sector: each penny you receive in salary is made up of tax money and you are therefore obligated to do what the law requires, how much it might hurt.

The two examples you give at the end of your post are flawed though: in one case you refer to tax evation, which is an illegal act. The second example is also irrelevant since a persons decision to serve Hallal or not is a private business matter.

But it isn´t an easy matter of course: if you are refused to be allowed to discriminate, are you in turn being discriminated upon? That is the matter in this case.

@Bold. Yes.

That's why I have been arguing as I have. Progressivism is promoted as a herald of equality and harmony. Yet we see that by virtue of it, some people are being put to jail. It's ironic.


The reason she is being put in jail is because she is in contempt of the court.  She cannot be fired, she can only be impeached, which is a process that will take a long time, in the interim of which people will be denied their right to equal protection under the law.  

Kim Davis does not have any right to enforce her beliefs upon others, nor does she have a right to pick and choose which laws to obey.  She took the job with no guarantee that the laws would always align with her personal morality.  If the laws change, then she has the right to resign if she feels strongly about the conflict.

Don't feed into the martyr bullshit.  She is not being put in jail "by virtue of progressivism". She is being put in jail because that is what happens when an employee of the court system refuses to carry out the law.  Kim Davis does not have the right to overturn Supreme Court decisions. 

And by the way, she was never ever forced to have any part in issuing marraige certificates to gay people.  She was offered the pretty reasonable compromise of leaving all marriage certificates to her assistant clerks and having nothing to do with it, which she refused.  She is not simply saying "I object to issuing marraige licenses to gay people."  She's saying "I won't let anyone else issue marriage licenses to gay people".  

Sad thing is that this cunt is going to get out of jail and be a hero and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to speak. 

If you're confused about persecution, I made a thread just for this kind of nonsense http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=207767&page=1#
