Are you a Democrat, Republican or Redneck

Here is a little test that will help you decide 

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. 
You are carrying a Glock cal 40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. 
What do you do? 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Democrat's Answer: 
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor! Or oppressed? 
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? 
Could we run away? 
What does my wife think? What about the kids? 
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? 
What does the law say about this situation? 
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? 
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? 
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? 
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? 
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? 
Should I call 9-1-1? 
Why is this street so deserted? 
We need to raise taxes, have a paint and weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. 
This is all so confusing! 
I need to discuss with some friends over a latte and try to come to a consensus. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Republican's Answer: 
BANG! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Redneck's Answer: 
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click.... 
(sounds of reloading) 
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click 
Daughter:' Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?' 
Son:' You got him, Pop! Can I shoot the next one? 
Wife:' You are not taking that to the taxidermist!

Kentucky Marriage License


Inspect the above document and see if anything important comes to your attention. If it doesn't, let me clue you in. The marriage license clearly states a male and a female. It doesn't say male and male, female and female, husband and husband or wife and wife. It's as plain as day on the license. Do you know why that is. It's because the state of Kentucky has not changed their law to reflect the court decision. Therefore by her actions, Kim Davis was upholding the laws on the books in the state of Kentucky. 

I think Elder S. D. Ashe explained it best the other day in a Facebook post. The following are his words, not mine. I can't take credit for them, but he's right and I agree with him. 

Concerning Sister Kim Davis, the clerk in Kentucky that has been refusing to issue marriage license to gay couples - Let me clarify the actual law -

Here’s how the Kentucky constitution reads:

Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Kentucky. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.

Thus, in Kentucky, according to the rule of law, marriage licenses can only permissibly be extended to couples consisting of one man and one woman. A “marriage” between two people of the same sex is “not valid or recognized.”

Thus Kim Davis would actually be breaking the law and violating the constitution of the state of Kentucky by issuing same-sex licenses.

Bottom line: Kim Davis is the only one in this sorry saga who is following the law and the Constitution.

When she took her oath of office, it was an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Kentucky. She did not take an oath to uphold the rulings of the Supreme Court, especially when submitting to such rulings would require her to violate her oath to uphold the Constitution.

The federal judge who is threatening to throw her in jail is certainly not following the law. The braying hounds of the homosexual lobby who are threatening her life for obeying the law most certainly are not.

Is Mrs. Davis guilty of fomenting anarchy? Hardly. The lawless ones in this sorry business are the five members of the Supreme Court who imposed their moral views about sexual deviancy on the entire nation. Anarchy already exists, because of an out-of-control judiciary.

Kim Davis is challenging the lawlessness of the Court and seeking to return this land to the rule of law. She’s not guilty in the least of civil disobedience. She is in fact practicing civil obedience in the highest sense, obedience to the Constitution and the law.
