I wonder why these folks feel like they are isolated from the rest of society? This is like some manufactured pity party. These “Christians” have as much right to practice their faith, no one is stopping them, what’s the problem. These people have as much right to voice their political and social opinions, they haven’t been pushed to the side and made some sort of victims. Nothing has happened in this country to vilify these people, they haven’t been denied their civil rights.

Part of it is that they’ve been told by people they trust that other people, living in other ways, getting the same rights as they do, is those people getting ‘special rights’. And they’ve been told that people like them should run things, and the fact that that isn’t always true seems threatening.

And now, the economy sucks, and they’re being told the prophecy is coming true—‘they’ are taking it all away from you.

The fact that Democrats, and black people, and atheists, and gay people and what have you are also living in scary times and out of work doesn’t seem to register very well.
