My first reaction to reading this today was to say to my fellow Americans.....wake up! You think we're being persecuted in this country, be it race, religion or whatever?? Take a look around the world - see what's really going on and wake up! If we don't stop the partisan bickering and crying over this group's rights vs that group's right, who can use which bathroom, etc, and continue to resist coming together as Americans, this too could be our destiny and unfortunate demise. Wake up!
