Stadtpräsident Annise Parker hasn’t received the necessary support from Herr Holder.
Indeed. C.S. Lewis was thinking of folks like Parker and her fellow travelers when he wrote this:
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
Arrest the mayor for treason
RE “This is Sparta”
Not yet, it’s not. She’s still in office.
“[Churches] cannot speak out on political issues.”
This isn’t entirely accurate. Churches and their ministers can take positions on issues of public policy as long as those positions do not cross over into advocacy of a particular candidate for office. The IRS regulations are here:

This is exactly what happens when the mental derangement of a dyke takes over a political office. Why is any normal person surprised.
Thanks. Then it looks like the Mayor is out of line here, correct?
Thankfully she’s term-limited. Three two-year terms.
Houston hasn’t had a Republican Mayor since Jim McConn, who was defeated for reelection in 1981 (placed 3rd to 2 rats and failed to make the runoff). And GOP hasn’t come close since Orlando Sanchez lost narrowly in 2001. He’s currently the Harris County Treasurer, maybe he should give it another go in 2015.
The GOP should have drawn a couple of GOP-leaning, Hispanic-majority congressional districts in Harris County, where Orlando Sanchez and another Hispanic Republican could have been elected. (Such a small percentage of Houston Hispanics are eligible to vote that a 60%-Hispanic CD that is half in the suburbs would have a GOP majority.)
That sounds like a good idea.
And whoever participated in this assault on the First Amendment should be reported to the State Bar for disciplinary action
Violations of oath = disbarment
I think there’s some confusion over that. McConn was listed in other sources as a Democrat. I was under the impression that Houston hasn’t had a Republican Mayor since Reconstruction.
Weird, Wikipedia says he’s a Republican but gives no source.
Our campaigns doesn’t list a party for him.
Some discussion site on Houston politics said McConn was a Republican, as was his 1977 opponent, Frank Briscoe, but McConn won because he was to the left of Briscoe and got Dem support in the runoff.

A Frank “Chip” Briscoe Jr. is the rat nominee this year in CD 22.
His bio mentions his family has “been in the DA’s office”, but he seems to be talking about Ford Bend County.
