Mary Gallager was fired from her position as Clerk of Court in Saint Thomas parish in Louisiana for exercising her religious freedom.

I’ve suffered a bit of conservative conviction whiplash in the last few months as events have swirled through the nation and the world. We’ve incorporated and disincorporated Cliven Bundy, Sgt.
