Hey fundies? THIS is persecution.
Turn on your goddamn televisions NOW.

Look at the people.

This is what happens when you are POOR. This is what happens when your skin is DARK.

This is PERSECUTION.

It is NOT persecution when you can't force kids to pray in a public school. It is NOT persecution when evolution is placed front and center of a science curriculum. It's NOT persecution when members of the GLBT community are treated equally.

per·se·cute
Pronunciation Key (pûrs-kyt)
tr.v. per·se·cut·ed, per·se·cut·ing, per·se·cutes

1. To oppress or harass with ill-treatment, especially because of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or beliefs.

I'm a white girl from the 'burbs, but even I'm not ignorant of the fact that when a government denies a group of people badly-needed food, water, shelter, clothing, sanitary items, and any other basic necessities in a LIFE OR DEATH situation, based on factors FAR BEYOND THEIR CONTROL, THAT is persecution.

5. You Tell Them!
I am so sick of the Fundies. They aren't really religious at all. It's an insult to call hateful people like them religious, unless they really are Satan worshippers!:evilgrin:

16. according to their warped f*view, anyone suggesting they give up their SUV
is persecution.

I'm afraid I'll just verbally go off on one of them the next time I see a fish and w sticker on the back of an SUV
