Why is it cool to persecute Christians?

You ban Christmas but you better not touch Kawanza.  What gives

BAN Christmas? LOL. Ban is an awful strong word. Somebody objecting to a nativity scene or putting up an atheist sign isn't in any way the same as banning the holiday. According to this Gallup survey, 93% of Americans, including a majority of non-Christians, celebrate Christmas.

To think Christians are being persecuted in America is silly.

furthermore, I feel it's disrespectful towards Christians in countries where they actually ARE persecuted.

Despite the lack of any evidence at all backing it up, there is a general belief on this forum that Obama is a closet atheist shared by both non-religious liberals and religious conservatives.

I do believe Obama is a genuine Christian, but he strikes me as more the Easter and Christmas variety, the type who believes but only rarely goes to Church or makes any open display of their faith.

And now obama wants to pass laws like they have in Europe where Pastors can't proclaim the word of God from the pulpit if it offends the Gays or such like that.

Groups like the KKK still exist and are allowed to hold rallies and preach racism. I'm pretty sure your homophobic pastors are safe. Can you please cite a single instance of Obama proposing or advocating any such law (ie one directed at pastors preaching against homosexuality)?

why would he do that?  He wants to waste your time. 

Why would a liberal want to waste the time of liberals?

because he wants to make conservatives look ridiculous with silly strawman arguments?
