After reading Martin Niemöller’s poem “First They Came For The Socialists— ,” Moore decided to write his own version in honor of Davis: “Ladies in gentlemen, we can say the same thing today. They came for the bakers, I didn’t bake cakes. They came for the florists, but I didn’t deal with flowers. They came for the little clerk down in Kentucky by the name of Kim Davis, but I’m not a clerk, I have nothing do with issuing licenses. Then they came for me, and nobody was left.”
“This will touch every person in this room, every child in this room eventually,” he said of Obergefell. “This opinion is not like other opinions that have been issued.”

Kim Davis and those bakers and florists weren't detained and sent to death camps with gas chambers camouflaged as shower rooms.
What happened was:
Non-fundies: "You can't deny anyone your PUBLIC services based on your personal religious beliefs!"
Davis and those bakers and florists: "WE decide who are the public!! "
Non-fundies: "NO! YOU! DON'T!! "
This will touch every person in this room, every child in this room eventually
I see someone had a small Freudian slip here, don't you think, Roy?
Uh huh. Sure, Former Judge Short Eyes. Perhaps you're just pissy that Niemoller's sentiment actually will touch the children in that room, long before you can.
Just hurry up & die already. The rest of us are tired of waiting for you.

FOR...FUCK'S...SAKE!
"Do the job you advertised without screening customers based on their personal lives, and then doxxing then" is not the same as supporting tyranny, mass murder, and frank genocide.
Roy Moore, you're an idiot. If you win, the people who elected you will get exactly what they deserve. Alas that they won't be the only ones.
What a complete and total coil of scat Moore is.
Don't give up your day job, Moore, and here's hoping you don't even have that soon. That "poem" is not only crap, it's Godwin's Law in overdrive.
As for Jim Obergefell, he wouldn't touch anyone except other adult men. Makes him a better Homo Sapiens than some, hey Roy, you're the one who allegedly touches children.
I hope there's a bullet out there with your name on it.
The alt-right many factions therein - generally seem desperate for an excuse to do war. (I guess some video games make it seem fun...and especially since “killed” heroes always return, alive and whole, from where they fell).
Anyway, the excuse - they'll surely find one, if they become organised enough, whether such a catalyst as they want actually exists or if they have to create it.
I wouldn't feign sadness if Moore were to die. (He'll get the same fair treatment as everyone else.)
But I, speaking personally, hope whatever excuse they do find isn't delivered to them, gift-wrapped, by a faction among us which opposes their ideology.
...and then they came for the Hypocrites: and I did not speak out, because I was not a hypocrite.
Because the Hypocrites were kiddy diddlers/their enablers.
Nobody spoke out against the likes of Gary Glitter, Max Clifford & Rolf Harris, eh Roy...?! [/Operation Yewtree]

About the most pathetic deflection technique imaginable: the Slippery Slope Fallacy that is 'All Gays are Paedophiles'? Not when the touching is that done by the likes of you: and in the bad way.
See the Religious Reich's desperation writ large. For they know that should things go badly for them, it'll spell their utter destruction.
No, they came for the people making death threats to innocent cake-buyers, and they came with a fine, not a cattle-train to the gas chambers. The bakers and the florists and the clerk are all still there. If they don't want to stand up for each other, or for you, then you all have a problem with solidarity.
The LITTLE clerk? She seems both grown up and fairly adult-sized to me. And, wasn't she on her third or fourth divorce? She had no high-ground from which to tell others that their marriage is un-Biblical. Oh, and that's civil disobedience for ya; if you're not willing to do the time, don't commit the crime.
How will Obergefell touch anyone but the people now able to get married? We've had gender-neutral marriage laws in Sweden since 2009. The only change is that gay people can get married. No impact WHATSOEVER on straight marriages.
...and then they came for Roy Moore: and I did not speak out, because I was not Roy Moore.
Because I was a Doug Jones supporter: and enjoying my Schadenfreude at Roy Less going to court regardless. >:D
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
