Oh wait, no you don't.

Quote from: Newt"I have two grandchildren: Maggie is 11; Robert is 9," Gingrich said at  Cornerstone Church here. "I am convinced that if we do not decisively  win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age  they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by  radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be  an American."

Spoken by Newt (what a good guy he is!) at the Cornerstone Church (famous for the fundy there saying God created the Holocaust in order to make the Jews form Israel). Yeah, he sure is a decent guy.
"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

So is it secular & atheist or radical & Islamists. You have to pick.

I think we'll get the radical atheists, as secular Islamists don't exist.

And Newt is considering running for President?? With this kind of thinking and statements on his record?   :huh:

Well, Bush the less worse one claimed that atheists are not real Americans (or something to that effect).  So, my guess is that attacking atheism during election campaign is not a vote loser in US.

Especially attacking the secular atheistic radical Islamists.

Face it:  people who would vote for Newt are not the kinds of people who could figure out the contradictions in his statements.  Whether they number enough to get him the nomination remains to be seen.

I have to dislike Republicans because of Newt? :o

Yes.  Newt = Republicans.  If you're a Republican, you're Newt. 

And it's not fair.  I don't want to be Newt  :cry:

Tough, he is yours, you got him whether you like him or not.

It is like everyone claiming that there aren't any real moderate muslims - unless you actively disavow the Newt, you support the Newt.

Hell, BB was just saying the other day what a swell guy he was...

I disavowed Newt a while back, but he does get props for triggering your atheist rage :P

I liked mid-90s Newt better. He should start cheating on his wife again.

My assumption is that as soon as she bored him (which probably was the case like two weeks after the wedding), he started doing that again.
