#1 The Mayorette (or whatever the person is) has now backed down due to backlash. The City Attorney (whose primary degree is in Political Science with a law degree in there somewhere) also has in the last few hours backed down, said he never read the subpoenas that his office sent out.

#2 So Her Mayoress is engaged in a witch hunt to persecute those with a different set of beliefs or lifestyle. Don't they teach about irony in school any more? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Just means they'll try a different way in the future---the Left is like Islam: they never give up, just postpone.

#4 It was never about tolerance or equality. It was about power. A lot of useful idiots serving as cover for the power grab. "But we meant well", how many times can that be repeated in history?

#5 I may be wrong, although I doubt it, but something tells me that the Mayor has never seen cause to subpoena any of the imams from any of Houston's mosques. If she is on a witch hunt for religious leaders who engage in discrimination, she would do well to start there. But then again, that would require liberals to forego their double standards as it relates to Islam and Christianity.

#6 Shirley, eltoroverde, the Main Stream Media will leap to point out that oversight, and will investigate ...

No?

#8 We'll get those two first,
then the others.
What others?
Wales and the kid are the last ones.
Oh, no. Texas is full of rebels.
Lots of work to do down in Texas.
We get Josey Wales and it ends.
Doing right ain't got no end.

#10 Funny how it's not a problem when Democratic pols seeking votes or advocating a particular bill give a 'talk' during religious services...
