“The first NC Senate bill filed Wednesday<\/a> would allow magistrates and employees of county registers of deeds offices to refuse to perform marriages or issue licenses due to religious objections”.<\/p>\n

Any such bill would be challenged as unconstitutional at the federal level.\u00a0 Do the wingnuts care how much they spend on such a failing endeavor in the courts?\u00a0 Hell no, as long as they get a soap box in the name of Jesus.<\/p>\n

This is really quite simple.\u00a0 If you can’t put aside your religious beliefs in order to fulfill a government office without bias you are simply unfit to hold the office.\u00a0 Done and done.\u00a0 What’s the problem?\u00a0 Get rid of any Magistrate who can’t separate church from their civic duties in office and move along.\u00a0 That’s the way it’s designed to work under the US Constitution.\u00a0 Anything argument to the contrary is semantics to justify an ideological or religious position.\u00a0 When it comes to the execution of public office Christian, Muslim, Buddhism, Wicken… got nothing to do with it.<\/p>\n

Put forth your argument in the name of Jesus or Christianity, then replace them with another deity or religion and see if your opinion holds true.\u00a0 That’s the litmus test.\u00a0 If you think Magistrates should not be held to their civic duties in office because of their Muslim or Wicken beliefs then you have an argument.\u00a0 A bias towards Christianity provides no platform or foundation for such debate.<\/p>\n

Did I mention all this is from the party of “less government”?\u00a0 Horseshit.\u00a0 The ONLY time any Republican’s wanted less government is when it comes to gun control, business\/finance regulations or tax collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
