Actually, if you listen to the fundamentalists/evangelical Christians, especially around Christmas and especially where church/state separation is concerned, they, too, have the victim mentality. Anytime they are not allowed to have their government assist them in spreading their beliefs, they insist they are being attacked. However, it does seem to work. Try to buy a beer on any Sunday in most communities.
Last time I was denied the right to buy a six-pack on Sunday, the clerk plucked the beer from the register and put it behind her, saying very smugly, “you can’t buy this on Sunday.†I replied, “The American Taliban is alive a well in this state (it was Kansas). I guess I’ll just have to drink my Vodka today. The look on the clerk’s face was priceless.
