ordered the Rowan County clerk incarcerated for violating his orders.
Five days later, he released her. The judge found that the clerk, Kim Davis, interfered with the

Andrew Napolitano: Religious Belief And The Rule Of Law
The lesson for Kim Davis. Shortly before the Labor Day weekend, a federal judge in Kentucky
ordered the Rowan County clerk incarcerated for violating his orders.
Five days later, he released her. The judge found that the clerk, Kim Davis, interfered with the

Half science is no science. Never mind that climate change is the single most complex scientific question of human history. Human nature has managed to morph politics and science together into a repulsive, philosophic monstrosity -- half science and half religion -- specifically designed to reduce multifaceted, chaos-based theory and its ... MOREThe Next Front In The War On Religious Freedom
by David Harsanyi. Stop bellyaching about Washington. All the country's best fascists are on your local city council. Not long ago, Colorado became a leader in the fight against religious freedom, when its Civil Rights Commission, self-appointed ministers of justice and theology, decided that a shopkeeper who refuses to participate in a gay ... MOREReligious Sex Perverts: ISIS Enshrines A Theology Of Rape
by Rukmini Callimachi. In the moments before he raped the 12-year-old girl, the Islamic State fighter took the time to explain that what he was about to do was not a sin. Because the preteen girl practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it, he insisted. He bound her hands ... MOREThe Pope Should Conceal His Economic Ignorance
by Pat Buchanan. Leave the socialist rants to Bernie Sanders. Arriving in La Paz, Pope Francis was presented by Bolivian President Evo Morales with a wooden crucifix carved in the form of a hammer and sickle, the symbol of Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Fidel. Had Pope John Paul II been handed that crucifix, he might have cracked it over Evo's head. ... MORESteve Bartin: Can Pencil Skirt Wearing Lesbians Eat Ham Sandwiches With Bacon In The Muslim School Cafeteria?
Inquiring minds want to know. Now that the Supreme Court says lesbians rights can't be denied in marriage and everything else: can lesbians be denied employment at Muslim schools in America? What if you are a lesbian and you don't want to wear a hijab while teaching your Muslim students? Why can't you wear a tight pencil skirt? ... MORERobby Soave: The ACLU Now Opposes Religious Freedom
Because Christians need it. The American Civil Liberties Union has formally reversed its support for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, signaling that the organization is no longer interested in mounting an ideologically consistent defense of all people of faith. It’s a disappointing retreat on principles for the ACLU, and the organization’s ... MOREPope Reveals God Cannot Stop Climate Change By Himself
by Gregg Zoroya. Holy man declares moral imperative to reduce greenhouse gases. Scientists weary after years of often vicious opposition by doubters of their climate-change findings see this year as crucial to the planet's future because of a religious document expected from Pope Francis on Thursday. The rare encyclical, or teaching letter, ... MOREOnly One Supreme Court Justice Believes Government Should Not Be Able To Tell Private Business Who To Hire
Kudos to Clarence Thomas. The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 Monday for a Muslim woman who did not get hired after she showed up to a job interview with clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch wearing a black headscarf. The justices said that employers generally have to accommodate job applicants and employees with religious needs ... MOREPamela Geller’s Critics Are Proving Her Point
by David French. Let’s be clear: The great freak-out over Pamela Geller’s “draw Muhammad” contest isn’t about love for Islam or for robust and respectful religious pluralism. Indeed, many of those expressing anguish over blasphemy against Islam show no such concern over even the most vile attacks on the Christian faith. Beyond that, they’re ... MOREWalter E Williams: Some Odds And Ends
Wise observations. Occasionally, I wonder whether I'm alone in some of my wonderings. Look at the claim that conservatives or Republicans have launched a war on women as a part of their overall mean-spirited agenda. In the case of mistreatment of women — or of anyone else — assault, rape and murder are about as horrible as it gets. ... MORE
