It largely escaped the notice of the national media, but there has been a pretty big political story playing out in Houston the last few weeks.
Well, it has been a big story, at least, for one very key GOP constituency.
Here's the recap: The city of Houston a few weeks back subpoenaed the sermons of five pastors who opposed an ordinance that was aimed at increasing the rights and protections of LGBT residents of the city, which is home to the first openly lesbian mayor of a major American city, Annise Parker (D). The subpoenas were issued in response to a lawsuit brought by Christian leaders against the new law, which is in limbo because of the litigation.

So why not have it pulled?
You pull it.
No.

R U a “last worder”?
The AG of Texas, our candidate for Governor, also spoke out
No, but you are sure hard to figure out on this thing about the photo, there is no reason to be angry and hostile. You gave the impression that you had made a mistake and I pointed out that you could have it deleted, I didn’t realize that you would react as you have.
So, do you want the last word or knot?
Troll is the word
And to think that I was edumacated that “The Bird is The Word”.
A better pic of her is in #35
Are you earnestly joshing me?
Wondering why you find it of benefit to keep digging this “pic” hole? What’s the point in pissin away FR’s bandwidth?
This defiance will not be assistive when I see your future postings.
facetiously joshing you.
