Great for Dana. I commend her for resigning. This is what freedom and free speech is all about. She’s is using it properly for making her view point heard and to stay true to the supposed teachings of her supposed god/gods/ goddess/supreme being/supreme force.

GOP politician concerned over government employee’s job?
Was likely to budget cut her position next year anyway.

Rapert said he would support clerks who refuse to issue licenses to same-sex couples

So if there was a Hindu clerk who felt religiously / morally opposed to issuing permits for a Cattle slaughter house, or a Jewish clerk who was religiously / morally opposed to issuing a permit for a Pork Bar-B-Que restaurant, or a Jehovah’s Witness who was religiously / morally opposed to issuing a permit for a Medical Center to operate, or an Amish clerk who was religiously / morally opposed to issuing drivers licenses This would all be supported by these nutjobs?

Don’t like your comment, but reality says it’s on the -ahem- money.

Well Ms. Guffey! I know you were just following the words of your Lord and Savior…Jesus!

And…well…let’s just refresh our memories concerning Jesus’ position on homosexuality; shall we? HE was crystal clear, wasn’t he sugar? _____HE said…uhhhhhhhhhhhhh…wait a minute…it’s right here…I just know I saw it…

OH…that’s right! HE never said a damned thing about it.

Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.

O! Such a martyr giving up your job for your faith. What does that make the people your refused to love as your fellow humans?

Please don’t throw me in that briar patch!

The world will keep spinning, people will move on, and people like Ms. Guffney will be left in the dust and unemployed.

Pretty much. Some of these clerks do the job for a bit of extra money during their retirement years.

Now, about Sen. Rapert…

A county clerk in Arkansas plans to resign on Tuesday due to a moral objection to issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, ArkansasOnline reported on Monday.

Maybe these clerks should have explained to them that it’s the State they work for, and not themselves, that issue marriage licenses. They are just the “middlemen” in the process.

But resigning is exactly what people should do, if their core convictions are paining them so. I can respect that. What I will not respect is people who feel entitled to keep a job they won’t do, because they’d rather inconvenience people they’re hired to serve, in the name of making a statement.

She should take all of her accrued vacation days first and then move to Arizona.

Good go away!

Your belief in religious superstitions has no place in the workplace, or public square!

Rapert is the dork who tried to pass an obviously-unconstitutional aniti-abortion bill back in 2013

Then he suggested nuking ISIS back in February.

Then he got all butt-hurt in early June cause Conway, Ark., held it’s TWELFTH Gay Pride parade.despite his screaming on Facebook to stop it.

Now, after the Supreme Court has passed it, he makes up a Cleak of Court resignation over gay marriage.

Congratulations to the clerk. If one finds their job incompatible with their faith, they have to make a decision. A Jain can’t expect to take a job in a cattle yard and then refuse to slaughter animals on religious grounds.

This is all about the perversion of the teachings of Christ into a white heterosexual patriarchy that demands conformity, also known as Christo-fascism.
