Twitter allegedly blocked a new online campaign designed to support the Houston pastors who were subpoenaed by the city's lawyers demanding that they turn over their sermons dealing with homosexuality, gender identity or the city's first openly lesbian mayor, Annise Parker.

The #HoustonWeHaveAProblem campaign and petition were created by Faith Driven Consumer, the same organization that supported and helped to reinstate Phil Robertson to "Duck Dynasty" after he was thrown off the show for his comments about homosexuality surfaced from a GQ interview.

Twitter wants to bend over backwards to prove how liberal they are. They want to prove that they will oppose their service being used for anything which is counter to the homosexual agenda.

So they have the freedom to “do the freak” but the pastors have lost the freedom “to speak”.....

It looks like it’s working to me.

BROKEN

Twitter wants to bend over forward and grab their ankles to prove how liberal they are. They want to prove that they will oppose their service being used for anything which is counter to the homosexual agenda.

FIXED IT

We need conservative social media alternatives. It’s no wonder Twitter is liberal:

But don’t tell any of the no info FReepers who are squealing like stuck pigs over their fact free outrage.

F Twitter (that is under 120 characters)

[Scoutmaster]

I won’t. I’ll continue to read the tweets at that working hashtag.

[Scoutmaster]

You do realize that the fact the hashtag works now doesn’t mean the article is false? Twitter may well have blocked the hashtag for a while.

All I said was, “It looks like it’s working to me.”

I wasn’t saying anything else past that.

[jsanders2001]

So let me get this straight...- a gay couple can walk into just about any business (or church) that provides services to the public and demand that they bake them a damn cake, take photographs of them, and marry them and if the don’t they can sue them. But if that same pastor that married them tweets about having his records subpoenaed and His privacy invaded uncobstitutionally by someone that just happens to be gay, Twitter can just cut him off without repercussions. Of course Twitter fully supports the LGBT crowd so that’s okay. I think I see a little bit of a double standard here.

I was in a rush (posting at a library that was closing) or else I would have highlighted from the story that it says, I believe, the hashtag is working today.

Why Conservatives Must Join the Battle for America On Twitter

Conservative sites are great but we still have to be willing to engage the wider world and promote our ideals.

[Scoutmaster]

Thanks. Your memory may be a little faulty, or my reading comprehension skills may be off the mark today.

I can't find anything in the article saying that Twitter ever unblocked the hashtag, or that the hashtag is working today.

[Scoutmaster]

Thanks. We all have different skill sets. If you’ve read my posts then you know brevity is not my strong suit. Twitter requires that skill.

Twitter, the new Amazon.

Twitter often blocks hashtags for review but most go back up pretty quickly.

Twitter is outright banning users who post pro ISIS propaganda.

A few of my posts today.

>>Let’s give #Ebolaczar Ron Klain a break. It’s entirely possible he stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

So the people who say Drs Ron Paul and Ben Carson aren’t qualified to opine on #Ebola are fine with an attorney being named #Ebola Czar

Sounds like Ron Klain is uniquely qualified to be #Democrat Kiss Ass Czar.

I’m guessing that @Peters4Michigan will happily support Obama’s appointment of political operative as #Ebola czar.

No, it wasn’t in this story, sorry. i saw that earlier and remembered that originally I found the story through persecution.org and I believe Charisma. I had had to shut my browser and found this story I used through Google. So I looked but couldn’t find it in that story either. However, Once someone had mentioned the hashtag working, I knew I’d read in a story that it was working at the time the story was written. I’m just not sure whose story it was. I wanted to correct what I’d written, but was having trouble getting online through my phone due to an event an arena down the street from me. So that’s the whole story. : )
