Ted Cruz says there's religious persecution of religious freedom in this country...

When I heard that, I completely switched over! He's got my vote, if I could vote. Wow...finally someone I can agree with. Where has he been all this time?

oh wait... he is talking about Christians being persecuted? Really? Are we living in the same country? Or does our definition of persecution differ? hmmm... let me go find the dictionary. Clearly, my English is poor, being my second language and all.

OK... never mind. You can go back to your regular activities.

Being forced to acknowledge other beliefs than your own = persecution.
Like when a black person calling a white person a white jerk = racism.

As opposed to being denied a job, a home, education and basic human dignity.
Combined. Due to your color or beliefs.

Oh, I can't lie. I LOVE watching Fox News at the gym. It's like Cliff Notes For The Crazies. I literally know EXACTLY what they've been told to think...so when one of them thinks it's time for 'Things I've Always Wanted to Tell a Black Person?' BOOM! Posterized. Pwned. Whatever you wanna call getting their 'ideas' shoved straight up their Talking-Points-Hole.

Sorry... had to chuckle at your post!

And then sigh.

To him, persecution is any time someone disagrees with him or contradicts him.
