Okay, so what do you do if you’re the meanest man in town?

This.

Gov. Abbott announced last Monday that he … would stop efforts to allow Syrian refugees into his state in the wake of the deadly attacks in Paris. Part of the governor’s announcement included the sending of a letter from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to local non-profits, demanding that they comply with the Governor’s request by Friday afternoon.

So let me see if I have this straight.   The man who wants smaller government wants government to dictate to local small humanitarian non-profits what they can and cannot do, even if what they want to do is the kind and loving thing to do and perfectly legal.

Yo, Abbott, you can kiss my big blue butt, sir. And you can kiss it on the steps of my local Helping Hands.

He is threatening to turn down federal funds for those non profits who don’t follow his … wait for it … “directive.”  So, do what Abbott says or you may lose your whole program.

So, is his next step to tell churches that there will be no rooms at the inn?

Thanks to Mazie for the heads up.
