Kirsten Powers is a liberal Democrat.  She is also a Christian and one of the very few Democrats in our country to speak out against Christian persecution in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Here is an excerpt, but do go read the entire article.

Obama was mute on the killings. He failed to interject any sense of outrage or even tepid concern for the targeting of Christians for their faith. If a Christian mob on a ship bound for Italy threw 12 Muslims to their death for praying to Allah, does anyone think the president would have been so disinterested? When three North Carolina Muslims were gunned down by a virulent atheist, Obama rightly spoke out against the horrifying killings. But he just can’t seem to find any passion for the mass persecution of Middle Eastern Christians or the eradication of Christianity from its birthplace.
