HOUSTON MAYOR BACKS OFF FROM SUBPOENAS TO PASTORS
Breitbart-Texas ^ | October 15, 2014 | Sarah Rumpf

Posted on 10/15/2014 10:35:49 PM PDT by This Just In

AUSTIN, Texas -- Houston Mayor Annise Parker has backed down from the subpoenas the City of Houston issued to several area pastors, Breitbart Texas has learned.

Breitbart Texas reported earlier about the controversy, stemming from litigation challenging the city's anti-discrimination ordinance and subpoenas asking the pastors for the content of their sermons, speeches and communications with church members. Texas Senator Ted Cruz weighed in, firmly supporting the pastors in their efforts to fight the subpoenas, while Mayor Parker initially remained adamant that the city had the right to request those records. Despite posting comments on Twitter just hours before that seemed to indicate she would continue to fight this issue, she told a Houston radio station that she has changed her mind.

Don’t fool yourselves. She may back down. But she is just waiting, she will try it again.

Look at homosexual marriages; they kept pushing it through the system, until they found other activist judges, lawyers, etc., that supported it.

This is what she will do.

One of my best friends who is actually directly involved in this debacle once told me years ago...”the Constitution and laws give churches and Pastors a mile and they take an inch”. This MUST change.

Good start..

Don’t forget Rand Paul..

“I believe in old-fashioned traditional marriage, but I don’t really think the government needs to be too involved in this and I think the Republican Party can have people on both sides of the issue,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said in an interview with CNN’s Peter Hamby.

“So I don’t think we can completely flip. But can we become, to use the overused term, a bigger tent?” he added. “I think we can and can agree to disagree on a lot of these issues. I think the party will evolve. It’ll either continue to lose, or it’ll become a bigger place where there’s a mixture of opinions.” remarks in a New York Times interview.

The assault on Christians continues.

But mosques, I mean Armories, get a pass.

Parker said the city has the right to request the information. But she and the city attorney said the subpoenas were prepared by outside attorneys without their knowledge.

My preacher buddy is headed downtown for a rally with Ted Cruz... of course in opposition to mayor Porker.

I offer my sincere prayers for them in their good work.

Homosexuals are the most intolerant people on the planet.

Which is why the Bible warns against them.

I predicted this stand down yesterday. Even a mental patient like Mayor Anus Porker will back down when she hears the gallows being built.

exactly. They didn’t act like aerial, naval and ground warfare were different wars back in WW2, and we need to stop acting as if our battles are about one issue here and there.

“All fronts” is exactly the same war.

Still, I suspect no christian in Texas will ever forget that she was for this kind of facist, intolerant treatment. They should never forget,
Nobody should forget this. Homofascists and other readicals like Parker just don't pack up their tents and go home. Eternal vigilance.
