“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Wait, maybe there’s a silver lining. Are mosques being monitored, too?

Has a recall movement against that mayor started yet? I don’t think any mayor in California would get away with what that Houston mayor is doing.

“The separation of church and state means that we will render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and we will. But the preaching of the church of God does not belong to Caesar, and we will not hand it over to him. Not now. Not ever.”

I disagree... San Fransisco, West Hollywood, Santa Monica... That is a start

Unless you want tax-exempt status as a church. You’re gonna give something up for that, and the specified cost is your right to free speech. Wanna preach whatever you want? then render unto Caesar.

YES! Show me your demands for messages delivered in mosques first, you that would be stoned to death by them.

If any of those pastors go to jail or if a SWAT team raids a church then it’s time for the militia to respond and restore Constitutional rule to Houston.

And by any means necessary.

I identify with your thought, and laugh at the absurdity of it.

I don't think HerHonor has any idea how incredibly inflammatory this is. Yes, it is CWII material - the English had a civil war over it. Heads were lopped off. And that was just them warming up. BTT
