Conservative Christians get 'hysterical' label

To the editor:

John P. Clippard claimed that one of the reasons David Limbaugh chose to title his book "Persecution" was to create more mass hysteria amongst conservative Christians.

Why is it that any time conservative Christians speak out on issues they care about it is deemed mass hysteria? Where are all these hysterical Christians? Are they rioting in the streets? Are they setting cars ablaze? How hysterical is it to voice one's beliefs and lodge one's complaints?

If that's hysterical, then is it not hysterical to prohibit two kindergarten students from spontaneously holding hands and saying grace as was done in one of the cases detailed in Limbaugh's book?

Note that Clippard made no attempt to refute any of the examples of bias against Christians provided in Limbaugh's book. He seemed more upset by the fact that the author is actually going to earn a profit from his work, which is just the kind of thing that always seems to upset liberals.

Liberals also hate it when a person uses connections to make money. They'd much rather have people receive their money from the redistribution of other people's earnings.
