If only there were a mutually agreed upon reference of some kind. <Sigh!>

Permalink Reply by Loren Miller on September 11, 2012 at 8:20pm The above statement is blown so outrageously out of proportion that I don't know whether to laugh or cry about it.
Tell me, Pat: have we had a christian Kristallnacht yet? Have christians been forced to wear yellow crosses on their clothes or been denied the right to own or run their own businesses? Are they being herded into ghettos or camps?
You know as well as I do that the answer to all of the above is a screamingly obvious NO. Yet because you cannot have your unimpeded way with the government, because it won't knee-jerk echo your values or cave when you make your demands, you act like the spoiled brat that you are and run your mouth in ridiculous hyperbole about how you are SO persecuted.
I'd tell you to grow up, but that would be expecting you to change, and it is self-evident that you are determined not to ... so how about this:
Just. Go. Away ... Please.
