As I’ve said, TDS has had some issues covering the Trayvon Martin case. But this bit was spot-on. Yeah, uh, the “victim theme/meme” tends to happen when an unarmed kid is shot in cold blood, and then police and the shooter lie about the circumstances, and the state refuses to arrest the shooter. -Jess

I have to say, as someone who is not a Christian, it’s hard for me to believe Christians are a persecuted people in America. God-willing, maybe one of you one day will even rise up and get to be president of this country—or maybe forty-four in a row. But that’s my point, is they’ve taken this idea of no establishment as persecution, because they feel entitled, not to equal status, but to greater status.
