Bay Area Houston

So much for “Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.“

The Houston Chronicle wrote an article concerning a proposed Mosque in La Porte. The community has purchased the land and are fundraising to pay off the loan. No plans are in place to build as of yet but the CHINOs (Christians in Name Only) are out in force led by the Republican nominee for Harris County Commissioner and Pastor, Richard Vega.

Vega is an extreme, right wing, christian nationalist. He has ran for office before and lost. He has an interesting past as was noted by his primary opponent. He is mostly funded by Christian Nationalist Senator Money Mayes Middleton. He has posted videos all giddy about putting the 10 Commandments in public schools yet continues to lie about his opponent supporting terrorist organizations. He has a relationship with Trump and was recently invited to the White House for reasons unknown. He is a Community Pastor at Community Transformation Church.

Vega is running on the issues important to voters in the district and are priorities of the Republican Party, stopping Sharia Law (that doesn’t exist), attacking Drag Queen events, and of course attacking the Muslim community. That is what he is doing today in his attack of the proposed Mosque in La Porte. The Muslim community has had event centers in Clear Lake for at least a decade. They live in peace because they are decent people and so are we. The only group spewing hate towards others is Vega and his followers. Vega likes to shoot his mouth off but refused to provide a comment for the Houston Chronicles article. According to the Chronicle:

Pastor Richard Vega, who’s running for Precinct 2 Harris County Commissioner, referenced plans for a La Porte mosque in a campaign ad video earlier this month. “LA PORTE IS DEMANDING ANSWERS!” he began his video caption, which mentioned plans for what he called a “massive Islamic center.” Vega did not respond to multiple phone requests and an emailed request for comment.

Vega needs to take the advice of Trump and stick to preaching whatever he is preaching. Hopefully he will not learn about the Buddhist Temple west of Friendswood. Praise the lord.
