'We are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans'

"We are going to stop those who are infringing upon the human rights of our fellow Americans," the former congressman said during CNN's Equality Town Hall on Thursday.

We’re going to infringe on American’s rights and force them to accept the unacceptable.

The power to tax is the power to destroy. This is why churches are tax exempt. Beto needs to read the Constitution the part about freedom of religion, it does not say freedom of religion that we approve of.

Sure, why not?

Raising the drinking age and MLK Day were similarly forced down America’s throat.

Hey, THAT’s the way to finally get rid of plastic straws!

He would never say that about as Islamic Mosk. Furthermore, Beto is exactly what the constitution set out to protect this country from.

Wouldn’t that mean that all mosques, all of islam, lose their tax exempt status?

Keep digging Beto. I think the longer you dig the closer you get to where you belong.

I’d love to see what the muslims have to say about having their religious tax exemption removed.

And I had a liberal today arguing to me that Trump was punching holes in the Constitution.
