I try not to comment on American politics, but right now I'm thinking a massive outcry from every pulpit in the USA, is necessary. Things are bad here, too!

Subpoenas are issued by judges. Not only is there a lesbian mayor who thinks she can censor preachers, there's a judge who agrees with her. Not to mention the city council that passed the ordinance that's behind the subpoenas. You'd expect this kind of fascism in San Francisco, but it's everywhere homosexuals have power.

If she wants to know what is preached in our (really God's) church, she is welcome to attend our services. We give everyone who enters a service a church bulletin with the next month's activities. If she doesn't like the word of God that is preached, she can find a church that preaches her own garbage.

You used to be a Yippie?

If so, you've earned plenty of Desdichado's cool points today.

Update: This proves Christians don't have to be bullied. Fight back. Yes this type of evil will prosper but that doesn't mean we should capitulate.

Breaking: Houston Mayor Backs Off From Subpoenas to Pastors
Churches and Christians are bullied daily by the government, especially in Canada and Europe. This was just an attempt to bully in a new way. Without a doubt, that lesbian mayor is plotting other way to bully and oppress Christians in Houston.

Yup, I used to soak up books like...
Revolution for the Hell of it- Hoffman
Do It! -Rubin
Steal this Book! -Rubin

And then I'd go out and do it! Part of the Left Wing anarchism in me at the time.
