U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz told congregants of his home church Thursday that the city of Houston abused power by subpoenaing sermons and other documents from pastors who publicly opposed a local ordinance banning discrimination against gay and transgender residents.

Cruz, standing among more than a dozen clergy at First Baptist Church in Houston, described the subpoenas as an “abuse of government power” and another illustration of the “indefensible assault by the government on religious liberties.” …

As well he should.

When do we get to start referring to Ted Cruz as “Future President Cruz”?

[Mark17]

I went to First Baptist of Houston back in the 70s. They were pretty dynamic then.

Romans 1:26 - For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Methinks the lesbo mayor is getting the guilties rising within.

[samtheman]

The B* is now claiming she didn’t read them before they went out. BS.

Ataboy Cruz!

Cruz, the rare Republican standing up for Fiscal Issues, Social Issues and the Constitution! I admire this man so much. Pray that he runs for president!!

[manc]

so right, he;s not just about fiscal policy but is standing for conservative principles like as well social issues, much to the annoyance of liberals and liberaltarians

Yes. Ted is not hitting a wrong note anywhere, and not just to the chagrin of the leftards and liberatarians, but also, and perhaps especially, the faggoty RINOs, too.

Would send an email to my city council member, but she is not better than Mayor Parker.

Just another lib fooling those voting for her

Lets see, freedom of speech. Freedom of religion. Ah, who needs them when they get in the way of the liberal agenda? Besides, to liberals only one view is allowed; theirs. Kind of like muslims that way.

But wait, aren’t they supposed to be the party of tolerance?

[blueplum]

were only christian churches served with these summons?

[stilloftyhenight]

“accused Parker of pursuing a personal agenda”

More like a personal vendetta.

Where are the rest of the churches in Houston?

Hmm.....not reading about the prophet Elijah. They are supposed to be LEADING the sheep; screw neutrality.
