Several days ago, I blogged about Kim Davis, the County Clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses for gay couples, even though it was their legal right to get them.
She is still refusing to do so, and should be summarily fired. (UPDATE: Davis has been tossed in jail for contempt.)
But, that is not why I am blogging about Kim Davis today. I am blogging because of the position taken on Davis\’s behavior by Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.
In his own words:
“Thank God for Kentucky clerk Kim Davis standing firm against SCOTUS\’s gay marriage ruling”.
Therefore Huckabee, like Davis, puts his personal religious and moral beliefs over the laws of the land, which apply to all of us regardless of our religious or moral beliefs.
This. to me, automatically disqualifies Huckabee from the presidency.
I do not want our country in the hands of a religious zealot who believes it is OK to put his beliefs above the law and force them on the rest of us.
Let Mike Huckabee go back to his Baptist ministry, or be a TV talk show host again. That is fine with me. But keep him far, far away from the White House.
