Mike Pence Warned Liberty University Grads to "Be Ready" to be Persecuted [View all]
Our Dominionist Vice President is sounding the alarm to graduates from Liberty University. He warned them about the "persecution" they're going to face from "secular liberals" when they get out there in the world.

Vice President Mike Pence, in a commencement speech on Saturday, told the graduating class at Liberty University that they were about to enter a world where they “need to be prepared to meet opposition” for being Christian.
“Some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional Christian beliefs,” Pence said, calling himself “a brother in Christ.” “As you go about your daily life, be ready.”
According USA Today, during his address in Lynchburg, Virginia, the vice president cautioned students that they’d be asked to not just tolerate things that violate their faith, but to endorse them.
“Throughout most of American history, it’s been pretty easy to call yourself Christian,” Pence said. “It didn’t even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the Bible. But things are different now.”

Oh, yes, left-wing atheists are standing just off-campus to persecute these young folks as soon as they set foot outside of the protective security at their Christian college. The word is out, and convoys of liberals are heading their way to persecute them.
Oh...wait...never mind. That's not true. Sorry, I lost control of my imagination there for a minute...
Have a strong stomach? Here's Pence's entire address at the Liberty University commencement:
