I highly recommend Vox Day’s new book, SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police, to anyone interested in countering and immunizing oneself and one’s community against the awful malady which is the “social justice” infestation.

See also Fr. Robert J. Spitzer’s Ten Universal Principles. He defines justice as the greatest good and proceeds from there to argue in secular terms why the notorious legal decisions were wrong.

That quote must be read in the context it’s given for it to make sense. Standing alone, it has a completely different meaning than obviously intended:
“Davis remains free to practice her Apostolic Christian beliefs,” he wrote.
“She may continue to attend church twice a week, participate in Bible study and minister to female inmates at the Rowan County jail. She is even free to believe that marriage is a union between one man and one woman, as many Americans do.
However, her religious convictions cannot excuse her from performing the duties that she took an oath to perform as Rowan County clerk.”

It appears that you have missed the point. If the judge feels the need to make the comment that “Davis is free…” that implies he thinks it is within his prerogative to remove those freedoms if and when HE so chooses. Otherwise, why would he feel the need to stipulate which freedoms he has decided should still remain to her?

It would seem important not just to read the surface meaning of words but also what they imply. Perhaps what you think is the “context” is a case of completely missing the context.

It is times like these where perhaps being aware that what individuals in positions of power intend by their statements or what can reasonably be inferred from them, not merely what they say, is of paramount importance.

Now, of course, you may not find this very important or even noticeable, but that might be because you are quite alright with the ideologues of “social justice” forcing the ideals of diversity, equality, tolerance and progress on everyone by fiat, while systematically eradicating truth, justice and personal liberty.

Does it? Maybe if we asked what would happen to her if she attended more than twice a week?
