Dana Loesch leads religion pity party at CPAC: 'It's time to make Christians a protected class'

Columnist Cal Thomas, radio host Dana Loesch, and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins took part in a CPAC panel on religious freedom Saturday, and they pronounced that times were dire for followers of Jesus Christ.

"I feel like it's time to make Christians a protected class," Dana Loesch said, as the discussion reached a fevered pitch of self-pity.

Thomas chimed in that "our commander in chief" -- who is Jesus, not President Obama -- instructed his followers that they would experience persecution.

Then Thomas and Loesch admitted that it just wouldn't be worth being a Christian if you couldn't feel persecuted.

"And since we have the victim competition in the United States," Loesch added, "I think we win."
