Unfortunately, I have Sen Gonzo Barrientos representing my district. There is no use sending him any concerns about this or other issues. He is one of if not the worst Texas State Senators. I regret living in his district, but stuff happens and this district will always have a lib, due to the fact that Austin voters are too liberal and stupid.
Same thing for the state rep, Donna Howard. She is as liberal as Gonzo. I hope there is a real Conservative running for this district in the next election.
Dan Patrick walked out, and held a press conference to celebrate diversity.
Frankly, I’d have walked out and held a press conference saying I didn’t believe that an Islamic ‘priest’ should be saying prayers anywhere public during the holiest days of Christianity.
The WOT aside, there’s either separation of church and state or there’s not. This is just another thing that dimlibs don’t get, and they call us conservatives hypocritical.
They must think everyone is as stupid as they are. The voters in this woman’s home district really need to vote her out of office, and in fact she’s created a super opportunity for a recall election.
“Self-Professed Christian”??? Is there any other kind? If you don’t consider yourself a Christian, can you be one?
I think one protezsting senator didn’t attend and the rest just sat there.
protezsting should be protesting
Despite the freedom of religion premise in the Constitution, I now believe strongly that constitutional protection should exclude Islam because:
1- Islam’s goal is to replace all forms of government, violently if necessary, with Islamic theocracies
2- The religion, if adhered to, cannot exist peacefully under our form of government
3- Is totally inconsistent with the culture and morals that has made this country successful
I am sorry, but WOMEN are so gullible. Nancy Pelosi makes nice with Asad, this gal was impressed by his resume — YEGAD, my sisters, what’s with the lack of discernment???

Well said. I couldn’t agree with you more. Islam is like a cancer growing inside the USA. It continues to spread unnoticed until it is to late and finally consumes the body-this body being the USA.
I personally believe that the Chronicle's point was to belittle him with a smart-aleck smirk and......in a backhanded way, all Christians...as they so often do when describing conservative Christians....
I say stock up on ammo, sight it in and avoid population centers. It might just be your new Muslim neighbor coming for you. They are not here to assimilate.

ping. Someone else saw the article and posted it. It is a good one!
Normally when I refer to dimlibs that don’t get something, I’m talking about the masses that empower the so-called “congressional leaders.” (What an oxymoron; almost as bad as “rap musician.”)
I totally agree that the dimlibs in congress are fully aware of the ramifications of their irresponsible actions, and should be called out for treason, from the lowest-ranking ACLU gopher to Harry Reid and all the rest of them, including all the left-wing fools in entertainment, media, and education.
State Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Texas
Like I said last week...
If this had been suggested 100 years ago...Anyone proposing this “idea” would have gotten an up cloase and personal introduction to the pavement outside the capitol building there in Austin...
I am curious though as to why no other senators didn’t get up and walk out???
I’m sure there are many reasons...At least 31 reasons...Dan seemed to have gotten it right...
I may have had a little rub with his pontifications the other night when Robert Eckels resigned, but I believe Dan hit it right on the head with this one...
For the record, this is a snip of what I posted last week about this...
I guess I’m just not diggin’ the whole concept by any elected official kowtowing, and rolling over on something that is so fundamentally against the grain of what this countries foundations are...
This country was not built upon the founding principles of a islamic faith...So why must some feel that diversity, inclusiveness and acceptance of this somehow makes things better for everyone...
I believe it is an insult, and we should be outraged that it was determined that this was a great idea to do...
100 years ago you (elected official) would have been publically tossed out on the street in front of the state capitol there in Austin for even suggesting something like this...
This country was founded upon Chirstian principles and the war we are fighting now is against a perverted form of islamic fundamentalism that the mainstream muslim is to chicken-shiite to police up themselves...
So why should I, or anyone else, accept an olive branch from the hand of mainstream muslim wimps???
See, I’m having to get my digs in before I dissapear this weekend...
So if I am an ass for saying this...Oh well...I’ve said worse things...
I just don’t think I am at all off the mark on this one...
I still stand by this...
