Death threats only count when con artists like Anita Sarkeesian get them. The countless death threats that leftist fucks send when they (immediately) lose arguments are acts of love from the “tolerant.” ---

Ooh, I wanna play too… Conservatives: “WE MUST ALWAYS FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION!!” “Many conservatives, including two GOP presidential candidates, are supporting Kim Davis who is openly violating the 1st and 14th Amendments.” Conservatives: “LOOK OVER THERE - LIBERALS ARE DOING SOMETHING! NOTHING TO SEE HERE…” This is fun. Pointless but fun. ---

I cop to the shanking joke. Mea culpa. If this statement has caused you distress and ruined your appetite for that plate of Ring-Dings, I _do_ apologize. But it’s her own “holy book” that calls for her to be stoned. Doesn’t say anywhere in that chapter that the adultress gets let off if she’s really, really sorry later. ---

Without having to do anything messy like actually getting a constitutional amendment to override the decision. Well, no. He was saying that the Dred Scott decision is _still good law_. He apparently wasn’t aware that the 14th Amendment rendered it void. ---

No, death threats are bad but everybody gets them. Get your name in the paper for saving a puppy and you’ll probably get death threats. Bunning has also gotten death threats and now a bunch of people with guns have gone to Kentucky and vowed to protect Davis from Bunning. That’s scarier than the random threats everyone gets. ---

So we’ve got police/federal marshals ready to arrest her if she disobeys the court, the Oath Keepers ready to defend her from said feds should they try to arrest her, anyone else? Cmon, there’s got to be some more veggies we can throw into this big ole pot o crazy. How come the Phelps clan hasn’t showed up for this? And maybe some of those biker gangs that show up at Phelps protests. I know, let’s give some guns to any gay people who go there to get a marriage license, that should help. And some guns for their friends. And some for the bikers too. The Phelps clan prolly has their own. More guns always helps, right?
