Pity the Persecuted Majority

It is bad enough that white Christian Republicans control the government and much of business and media in America, but claiming that "conservatives" (a code for this brand of theo-fascism) are unfairly treated is unseemly. The fact that thinkers outnumber believers at many schools where thinking is permitted, and that the Wonderland logic that governs much of "conservative" dogma is discounted or ridiculed results in outcries claiming that they are persecuted on campus. The irony is that thoughtful, intelligent, truly compassionate, inclusive thought and action are decried as liberal idiocy by this gang of fools. Their ideological lock-step is way too close to a goose-step.
