Withdrawal of Houston subpoenas is call to action - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
Saying "I don't want to have a national debate on freedom of religion" and that it is not good for the City of Houston, homosexual mayor Annise Parker has directed city attorneys to withdraw the subpoenas issued to five Houston pastors. The pastors delivered petitions against her city ordinance requiring restrooms to become unisex based on a person's perceived gender. Notwithstanding, she vowed to continue to protect her so-called "Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO)" because "it is extremely important to me." The change of mind came after Houston area pastors and others met with the mayor and persuaded her to do the right thing. Excellent activism by the pastors, but it shouldn't stop now.
Parker's change of mind on the subpoenas is a small victory in a bigger war. This is no time for forgiveness. She was defiant in her defense of non-gender public restrooms. Yet, she admitted that her action to subpoena pastors' sermons and personal correspondence was not good for the city of Houston. At the very least, Parker should face a recall election for her shenanigans in dictating an ordinance that advances her transsexual agenda and ultimately endangers children and others by opening public restrooms to anyone of any gender. In the name of civil rights, Parker has ignited a national debate about morality, the constitution, and protecting the rights of all citizens. She should pay the price for her actions.
Pastors and the legal defense teams involved in getting Parker to call off her witch hunt should make an example of Parker. She should be sued for her intent to violate the First Amendment rights of the pastors in Houston. Parker should be held accountable for violating Constitutional rights of free speech and religious expression even by disqualifying valid petition signatures. She should also be brought up on charges of using the office of mayor to forward a personal agenda, and knowingly using city resources to pursue something that was harmful to the city--all things she has admitted to in her subpoena withdrawal. The pastoral community in Houston should be relentless in their pursuit of justice.
The Lord has blessed his disciples with a moral and legal code of accountability. It transcends the community of followers into the broader society as we are charged to "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you (Matthew 28:19-20)." We are also told to overcome evil with good. What Parker has done is evil. There should be no turning of the cheek. If the righteous do not hold the line on accountability we have an Isaiah 59:14 situation: "And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter." Let there be bold action against the iniquity of the Houston mayor.
Why I didn't send Sermons to Houston - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
I totally get the point of what former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee was trying to make--that if lesbian mayor of Houston Annise Parker wanted sermons, let's all send her sermons and Bibles. From October 20 when Huckabee asked "every pastor in America" to send Parker their sermons and everyone watching his FOX news show to send her Bibles, Parker's office has received (according to a spokesperson) between 500 and 1,000 Bibles. Parker responded, saying, "Actually, I think it was a very productive way for folks who disagreed with our legal strategy to express that disagreement, and I'm happy to share the Bibles with those who may want them." In my opinion, an opportunity was lost.
Parker's attorneys have subpoenaed the sermons and some 16 other types of correspondence of five Houston area pastors. She is trying to see if these pastors instructed any of their congregation on how to fill out a petition against the mayor's pro-homosexual agenda. This is totally a violation of the First Amendment and an example of the bullying which has become the hallmark of the gay rights movement (you know, the ones who have bullied people into participating in their anti-bullying campaigns). Peter Kirsanow, a conservative commissioner on the liberal leaning US Civil Rights Commission (a federal government agency), stated Parker's inquest was "an abuse of government power."
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said (Matthew 7:6), "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." Parker has predictably mocked those who sent in their sermons and Bibles, and she has strengthened her resolve (turned again to rend these pastors). Logically, it didn't make sense to me to send Parker exactly what she was demanding in violation of the Constitution of fellow pastors. To me, it makes much more sense to make an example of her that would serve as a reminder to anyone, including the ACLU, who would attempt such a violation of the Supreme law of the land--our Constitution.
Parker should be sued for violating these pastor's Constitutional rights. Furthermore, she should be charged with high crimes and misdemeanors against the Constitution. A team of civil rights attorneys should search every jot and title of the law and hold her accountable in court for every violation thereof. Every pastor in Houston should surround the mayor's office and shut it down until she relents. And if she relents, she should still be tried for high crimes and misdemeanors, sued for civil rights violations, and run out of office by the good people of Houston. The parishioners of Joel Osteen's church alone could achieve this, if they had a leader and some backbone. Sometimes we need to be more like the Lion than the Lamb.
