#1 Texas conservative politicians are embraced, invited and preached to by Texas preachers in Texas Churches every Sunday. Almost every Sunday, a state Administrative Official, state congressman, and even Texas reps in the US Congress either sit in the audience of, lead the prayer of or even speak to the largest Southern Baptist Texas church in Dallas. Even Mark Steyn spoke there a couple of weeks ago. Texas conservative churches are tight with Texas politics.

The Dallas congregation, pastor or staff never publicize who is going to be in any Sunday morning service, but there is always a government someone and it seems that church recruits hard to keep State government officials participating every Sunday morning so they can hear the "Biblical Word".

Then drive anywhere outside the metro areas into the vast rural areas of the state and it is all about God and Country.

These pin prick attacks supported by dollars is a waste of money and time. The conservative bedrock is deep, vast and very pro-active on a quite, grass roots level through out the state.

#2 Was this really in WaPo? Or just one token columnist in the online edition?

#3 1. Rosemary Lehmberg during her arrest and booking said "You have not heard the last of this." She seems to be correct. The vindictiveness of the left rears its head again.
2. George Soros who has money behind this is an evil old ba$tid--he is vested in destroying and replacing order with chaos and a far left agenda.
The Texans for Public Justice should be referred to as Leftists for Social Justice or some sort or thing like that. It fronts for Soros and has a history of going after high profile Pubs--basically, a hit organization gunning for Pubs.

#5 Stupid idiots never read real history. Austin is a little blue island in a great red sea. Making the execution of government by your opponent a crime is just accelerating the rush to open conflict. It was political games like this in Rome which caused Caesar to take the legion south beyond the Rubicon. Power is just another drug causing too many to lose perspective of the potential consequences of their acts. Once is a tragedy, twice is a farce.

#7 Conservatives will eventually get fed up. And hte gloves will come off. And these dumbasses in Austin will find themselves facing the same scorched earth tactics - except in GOP dominated electorates, judges and lawmen, with nearly the entire populace backing them. It will get ugly fast. Perry should be going after this prosecutor in civil court, like was done by Walker. I want the sumbitches and their families destitute, homeless, penniless, and starving under a highway bridge.

But you know what? I' getting to the point where I dont care what happens to liberals. Im more than willing to accept their loss as collateral damage - they have so little regard for civil society and fairness that their destruction and severing them from any public power will be a huge gain for everyone in society.

Patience is not a finite commodity.

#9 The sooner Soros is dead and roaring in hell instead of trying to create hell on earth, the better.
