Uncle Sam is now in the pulpit

This past week has been a revealing one. Throughout the past few decades we have seen a rise in Christian persecution to an extent our forefathers would never have imagined. The city of Houston recently demanded that multiple Pastors hand over their sermons if they contain anything about homosexuality. The first openly lesbian mayor of the city refuses to be criticized about her lifestyle thus she hopes to stifle the Christian community. Sounds a lot like tyranny to me.

Think about it folks. The Pilgrims, the Protestants, the Quakers, the Catholics. All came to America for freedom of religion. The first amendment was specifically designed to protect free speech and religion. Yet this Houston mayor thinks she can stomp on the Constitution and take away our rights as citizens of this nation? She has no constitutional authority, no moral authority, and no physical means of accomplishing this goal, yet she insists on infuriating millions of Christians and constitutional believers throughout the nation. She demands tolerance, acceptance, and encouragement in her lifestyle and she will stop at nothing to get that done. Even if it means ignoring the constitution.

Folks, this is not England under King George the 3rd. This is America! A nation blessed by God with  freedom, liberty, and prosperity. This Houston mayor needs to rethink her decisions and understand that our freedoms are not something to be trifled with. Our rights come from God not the government, when the government fails to protect those rights we need to replace those in office.
