Conservative Columnist Warns Of Imminent Genocide Of Christians In US
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Tuesday, 4/7/2015 12:48 pm
John Zmirak, a conservative columnist and senior editor of James Robisons The Stream website, warned in a radio interview this week (as he did in a recent column) that Christians in America are on the verge of being violently persecuted like Armenians during the Armenian Genocide, Jews in Nazi Germany, or Tutsis in Rwanda.
Citing the case of an Indiana pizzeria that shut down after facing backlash after its owners said they wouldnt cater gay peoples weddings (and which has since received more than $800,000 in donations), Zmirak told Alaskas Joe Miller that I think this vilification of faithful Christians could lead to violence in America.

(53,956 posts)I seriously doubt any group will be killed en masse in this country. No, they are more content to limit our freedoms (Indiana/Arkansas bill, reproductive rights restrictions, gerrymandering) and kill us by continuing the "death by a thousand paper cuts." Sure, there may be a time when a large group might get killed, but it won't be like any holocaust/genocide.

No doubt once the war breaks out our heroes will stand up to the side of Satan that is bent on killing them with a variety of weapons that they had to fight the establishment to obtain.
In short, I don't know the medical terms, but these guys have real fantasies about being some hero called on by Gawd to save the planet.
George Zimmerman had such a fantasy on a smaller scale that ended up in the death of a kid who was walking home at night.

(40,416 posts)Either they believe this rubbish or they pander to it. This is the GOP ignorant, delusional, mad-as-a-hatter base. And that is also today's GOP. Only a fellow delusional lunatic, or an ignorant buffoon, would knowingly vote for them. Unfortunately there far, far too many of them both.

The other 23% of us are getting a little freaked out.
