Kim Davis To Be Protected By The Oath Keepers

Share On FacebookTweet Post

“Patriot” Group The Oath Keepers head to Kentucky, vow to do whatever it takes to keep Kim Davis out of Jail.

Let’s take a look on who’s on team Kim Davis. First we have God the Father, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, the Angels, the Saints, the cherubim and seraphim, all those people from her church and the community. PLUS Mike Huckabee and to a lesser degree, Ted Cruz. By the looks of her eye of the tiger moment, she possesses the peace that passes all understanding, and no problem being in the spotlight. Ms. Davis also has a team of lawyers from the Liberty Council (a strongly theocratic and anti-LGBT group) taking up her case and defending her at no charge. She has instructions from the judge who released her about how not to wind up back in a cell. She still has her job, and a staff to do the work she refuses to do. What more could she want – or need?

But hold on a minute. There are some that don’t see it that way. They see Ms. Davis as the victim of the heretical, godless government – being jailed for defying federal law and using religious protection to further her homophobic agenda. The Big Guns are now beginning to believe she doesn’t have enough protection (guns). And by protection, we mean “Patriots” standing guard against the tyrannical Kentucky government willing to compromise her religious freedom, and any potential mistreatment to Ms. Davis.

These Big Guns (literally), are the Oath Keepers. That’s right – the same group that mounted an armed standoff with the Bureau of Land Management at the Cliven Bundy Ranch, stationed armed guards outside of military recruitment centers after the Chattanooga mass shooting, and disturbed and frightened Ferguson protesters when they showed up carrying assault rifles.

It’s one thing to have some shady lawyers overtaking your case, pro bono, because they saw the perfect opportunity to further their theocratic agenda, but when a certified hate group dumps itself into the mix, vowing to do “whatever is necessary” to insure Davis is not taken into custody again, well, that changes the narrative.

About The Oath Keepers: One quick look at their Facebook page and website will show you that these dudes do not fuck around. They hate the government, the President, the Liberals, the rules, the laws, and anyone else who tries to tell them what to do. They are out and proud racists, tried and true homophobes. They believe our country and its principles have been spirited away by “the other,” and it is their obligation – as true Patriots – to defy those so-called laws and restore us to a “Christian Nation,” as it was when, in their twisted view, the founding fathers created it with the help of baby Jesus. And they’re bringing guns. Lots and lots of guns.

Here’s their group description, from their Facebook page:

We are a group defending our oath to the constitution of The United States. Keeping the dreams of our founding fathers alive!!! We are not Willie Wonka (sic), we will not sugar coat things for you. We are a Liberals worse nightmare. We are a Patriots dream come true. We don’t play nice with Liberals, we tend to break them and offend them…. a lot… prove them wrong…. a lot. I think you get the idea we are NOT Liberal friendly so if you are a liberal please remove yourself, we don’t serve your kind here…

It’s probably worth noting that they are also an English major’s worst nightmare.

They are vowing to “intercede” if U.S. Marshals attempt to take Davis into custody for contempt again. In a statement and recorded phone call featuring Oath Keeper’s founder Stewart Rhodes, Jackson County (Kentucky) Sheriff Denny Peyman, Missouri Oathkeeper Jon Karriman and West Virginia Oathkeeper Allen Lardieri, the men outlined their plans to head to Kentucky to provide “round-the-clock” protection for Kim Davis, and to ensure Federal Marshals are not able to take her into custody again.

Rhodes said that the Rowan County sheriff should have blocked U.S. Marshals from detaining Davis, but since neither the sheriff nor the state’s governor will do their “job” and “intercede” on behalf of Davis, the Oath Keepers will have to do it instead. Bullies. But bullies with a strong, common delusion. And guns. Lots and lots of guns.

“As far as we’re concerned, this is not over,” Rhodes said, “and this judge needs to be put on notice that his behavior is not going to be accepted and we’ll be there to stop it and intercede ourselves if we have to. If the sheriff, who should be interceding, is not going to do his job and the governor is not going to do the governor’s job of interceding, then we’ll do it.”

All this talk makes one wonder what the Oath Keepers actually mean when they mention “intercession,” “protection,” and “any means necessary.”

Although the Oath Keepers’ anti-government extremism doesn’t always align with the extreme religious right, Rhodes’ rhetoric on Davis isn’t far from that of the Family Research Council‘s (also classified as a hate group) Tony Perkins, who said that U.S. Marshals and county prison officials should have refused to participate in Davis’ detention because they have no obligation to follow “laws that have no moral foundation that are actually in contradiction to moral law and truth.” All of this time, attention, money, and energy to uphold an extremist bigot’s right to use her personal her religion to support an agenda of discrimination, division, and hate. These bloodsucking leaches are latching on – sucking the life blood out of the decent people of that provincial town. Be careful what you wish for, folks. And more importantly, be careful who you vote for. After you’re done reading and sharing this article, go Google “Dominionism” or “New Apostolic Reformation”. I promise, this whole debacle will make much more sense to you.
