When your conscience doesn't allow you to do your job, you need to get a new conscience or a new job
I see where Rowan County clerk Kim Davis is maxing out her 15 minutes of fame with her principled stand against gay marriage.
That's all hunky-dory, but what the extreme right fundy set is doing here is creating an icon out of someone who should just be ignored.
I'm a principled pacifist, but my gig at Saint John Shipbuilding, building warships for the Royal Canadian Navy, was one of the best I ever had.
Those frigates were gonna get built whether I got a paycheque out of it or not. Just like same-sex couples in Kentucky are gonna get hitched whether Kim Davis approves or not.
Kim, I respect your stand on principal. At the same time, if it's all that important to you, you need to do the right thing and fall on your sword. By which I mean, quit your job.
Being a public servant doesn't entitle you to grandstand on behalf of archaic religious beliefs.
