If you are persecuted for practicing your religion, you should have the full might of the law behind you to make sure it stops. On the other hand, if by "persecution" you mean that city hall paid for a Christmas tree and didn't change the name to "holiday tree", that's where the titties start to toughen.

My views on abortion are not recognized by the government. Tough titties for me. My views on guns are not represented. Too damn bad. Pot's still illegal...that doesn't make me oppressed just because I disagree with the law. I can try to find lawyers to bend the Constitution to something that supports my viewpoint, but that doesn't mean I'll be successful.

Majority rules, and tough titties for the rest of us. Watching out for the little guy doesn't mean that 95% of the country should suffer so the 5% won't be burdened with the knowledge that their fragile eyes might stumble upon a nativity scene.
