At Liberty University, Dr. Ben Carson promised concrete legal protections for traditional believers if he is elected president:
One such priority, he said, was protecting the ‘religious freedom’ of people who believe on religious grounds that marriage is ‘between one man and one woman’. Carson promised, if elected president, to push Congress to make this a matter of national law.
‘We’re going to have to have a president who’s willing to work with the legislature to put things back in order,’ he said, to cheers and applause.
Carson has endorsed the First Amendment Defense Act. I wish he would talk more about the specific protections it would provide, preventing federal government bureaucrats, or the next Democratic president, from denying Christians and other gay marriage dissenters equal access to government benefits in everything from IRS tax exempt status for our schools and ministries to government employment and contracts.

Jim144 Jimmy Old Boy, thanks for providing the very reason why Kim Davis is a heinous monster! She violated the rule of law!
Every so often Jimmy Old Boy says something worthwhile!
@Blade
Actually America is or used to be a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY where the rule of law is supposed to govern, the majority be damned to put it bluntly. America was founded on the rule of law and abandoning that will be a detriment to every citizen majority, minority, left or right.
Hey Maggs, if you don’t like gay marriage, don’t get gay married. Your pal Blade here illustrates what’s really behind your anti-gay campaign.
Time for Dull Blade to grease the wheel. In America the constitution defends the rights of minorities, even when the majority is unnatural and immoral.
No in other words, Dull Blade opposes religious liberty.
Moreover, the last time you looked at America, it was probably during Jim Crow, when the majority said interracial couples were immoral and should be denied religious rights.
I pray for your deformed soul.
Last I looked in America the majority rules and the majority says LGBT folks, a minority, are unnatural and immoral. Time to grease the squeaky little wheel with rational sober thinking.
jk105 homos have the same rights already – if they want to get married they can, as one woman and one man – that is marriage, stupid – otherwise it’s just insanity, which what homosexuality is – lustful insanity of the minority and last I looked in America the majority rules and the majority says homosexuality is sick, wrong, immoral.

By that, of course, Dr. Stabby would use the brute force of government to deny gay couples their religious liberty and constitutional rights. Dr. Stabby clearly opposes religious freedom.
Thanks for pointing this out Maggie Old Girl.
