Note: this is SATIRE. As in, not real.
On Monday everyone’s favorite wacky Kentucky clerk, Kim Davis went back to work. That is if you call NOT doing the specific job you’re hired to do “work.”
Davis magnamously declared that she shall not “interefere” with her deputies if they choose to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. However, queen Davis declared they will not be authorized by her hand and she questioned their validity.
Monday was the Rowan County clerks first day back in the office, since serving time in jail after Davis defied a federal Judge’s order. It seems that Davis has a new apprecation for her freedom, although not so much for the freedoms of same sex couples.
Here’s what Davis said,
“I want the whole world to know…If any [deputy clerk] feels that they must issue an unauthorized license to avoid being thrown in jail, I understand their tough choice, and I will take no action against them,” she said. “However, any unauthorized license that they issue will not have my name, my title or my authority on it. Instead, the license will state that they are issued pursuant to a federal court order.”
Former Arkansas governor, Mike Huckabee has pledged his full support for Davis. You may remember the homecoming rally Huckabee put together as Davis was released from jail. Huckabee said that Davis managed to stay true to her convictions, “despite the pressure she was put under by the evil U.S law.”
Huckabee said that he’s “proud of the national hero that is Kim Davis,” and that he would like to make sure she can do her job “in a way that does not cause damage to her Christian conscience.” He continues,
“For someone to be able to go through what she has just gone through just goes to show how powerful our Lord is and how blessed are those who believe in Him. As for us humans who believe in Christ, we under persecution in America today. And because of that, it is up to us to find ways to help each other and be there for one another in our hour of need. And as the old saying goes, ‘res, non verba,’ (meaning, ‘actions, not words’). We should talk less and act more,” Huckabee added.
Oh but it geets even better, Huckabee wants to put the proverb into action! He said this,
“I have already taken steps to ensure she has a better time now that she is once again a free citizen. I have personally urged the pope to issue a diplomatic passport of Vatican to Davis, so that she may never again fall victim to the evil U.S. law that is tearing apart our country. He has assured me that it will be done as a personal favor to me in the shortest possible time.”
One reporter asked Huckabee,
“What will she do once in the Vatican?”
To which Huckabee replied,
“You’ll have to ask her that. My guess is that she won’t go too far away from her duties as a clerk. Who knows, maybe she’ll get to be responsible for determining who the next Pope will be. I mean, she’s already proven that her instincts are accurate,” he replied.
Mike Huckabee, Kim Davis, and Pope Francis. Yes folks it’s officially a Party!
