Party Fearing War on Religion Now Waging War on a Religion

SO FAR THE RIGHT HAS BLAMED Obama, non-Christian refugees, gun control, Obama and Obama and Obama.

ALSO TO BLAME, not saying the magic words “Islamic Extremism” or “Radical Islam” three times then clicking our heels because fighting jihadists isn’t enough, we also have to let 1.57 billion almost entirely peaceful Muslims know we’re on to them.

BOTH TED CRUZ AND JEB BUSH HAVE CALLED for only taking Christian refugees from the Middle East into the United States — a standard that would literally require you to reject Jesus.

IT’S ALWAYS FUN WHEN Republicans switch from saying there’s a war against religious freedom to arguing we really should wage a war on an actual religion.

TED CRUZ HAS CALLED FOR more tolerance for civilian casualties, which marks the first time Ted Cruz has called for more tolerance of anything.

I mean, according to some Christians, that's among the worst things you can do to Christians!

They get so worked up by the "War on Christianity" because that's exactly the sort of oppression they'd really like to engage in themselves, and they just assume that's what anyone else would want to do if they had the chance.
