Newt Gingrich warned churchgoers on Monday that an unholy (semi-holy?) combination of Islamic theocrats and secular atheists could seize control of the United States within decades.
"I have two grandchildren -- Maggie is 11, Robert is 9," Gingrich said at a church in Texas, according to Politico. "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."
Comments
Newt is fundraising.
I was gerrymandered into and out of his congressional district late 80s early 90s. He must never cull his direct or email lists because I still get all his junk mail. I thought about trying to stop it, even made a couple of fainthearted attempts to get off his lists. Maybe it is for the best to stay on As soon as I do not know what he is up to, he will probably pull off another 'Contract with America'.

When they realized 'Islamist atheists' or whatever was an oxymoron, reporters must have asked about it. A spokesperson said that Newtie had forgotten to put an 'or' between the terms. ;oP
Two weeks ago our Newt went on a program on Pat Robertson's channel to well... not repent, but explain about all those nasty rumors of infidelity and the divorces. He said it was the pressure of loving his country so ardently that was responsible...
But it wasn't just any old church in Texas he went to recently. It was Pastor John Hagee's, bigwig in Christians United for Israel, the thinking being that they need to make the prophecies come true to hasten the Rapture. Seriously. So Jerusalem must stand alone; I forget the rest.

I have been caught (more than once) straying from my marital constraints (5 wives and counting...).
If only I had shared Newt's quick thinking, I might still be married to wife # 4, or even # 3....

(Stardust smacks him with a rolled-up newspaper) For better or er...someone better, eh? Good thing you're an atheist, JR, or you'd be goin' ta Hell.

I thought I already lived in a secular atheist country. Maybe Gingrich is a radical Islamist. If I don't pour milk on my Rice Krispies, will they still be making that strange noise?

We are going to be both atheist and Islamic??? Wha??? That is a weird juxtaposition, atheist and Islamic. I wonder if Newt continued by telling all of American that we will also become very patriotic and cheat on our spouses /significant others, and we will talk endlessly about Mau Mau, Kenyan, British, Socialist, Marxist, Maoist leanings.

Sounds like just the sort of person we need to save our country by electing him as our next President.
Quite an active imagination he has. It's as though he channels the deepest, darkest nightmares of some of the most frightened Americans and concocts out of them, like some deranged, long-past-his-prime wizard, some bizarre tale of impending doom whose only requirement is that it be completely detached from the actual things we should be worrying about and attending to.
I mean this, from the schmegege (note to Articleman: reference #2 at dag that I know of, Bruce already having beaten me to it) in my local grocery store who takes shopping instructions from his trophy 3rd wife, having perhaps not cheated on her yet, or dumped her so as to be able to move on to #4 (sorry, jollyroger)? That's all he's got at this point? Newt is someone who I'm afraid appears never really to have progressed past adolescence. Anything, anything at all, for attention will do. The man looks to be completely incapable of feeling any shame, embarrassment, or humiliation. As long as he has some adoring fans left to look up to him and an eye candy wife attached to his arm, he's good. He acts like someone who actually believes there is no such thing as bad publicity. How pathetic.

LOL! Hope you don't think that characterization takes him outta the running for the nomination; they are ALL doing their Tea Party/Birther schticks, aren't they? (Well; Romney could only be so believable in the role, but...)
