Gingrich: Americans ‘surrounded by paganism.’

[Christa]

GINGRICH: I am not a citizen of the world. I am a citizen of the United States because only in the United States does citizenship start with our creator. <...> I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history. We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism.

Citizenship starts with his creator?

We are surrounded by religious nuts who use religion to their own benefit.

1. Hope Newt isn't suggesting a return to witch-burning.

Bet he's never met a pagan.

[Chemisse]

6. I'll bet he has - plenty of times - but doesn't know it.

Because we are normal people and don't stand out like the freaks he thinks we are!

13. I love hanging with pagans.

[KharmaTrain]

2. Who Cares What This Shitstain Says...

I'd love if this three-time loser and major hypocrite decides he's the "future" of the GOOP. He's yesterday...his 15 minutes long past and all who pay attention to him are paid to do so.

Here's hoping the GOOP is so unorganized and desperate that he's their "leader".

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. lol! The Declaration of Independence uses the words "Nature's God"! Hey Newt! TJ could

have been considered a Pagan!

[NMMNG]

4. Oh, the horror!

How many people have the Pagans shot to death in church lately? How many buildings have they bombed? I thought so. Douchebags like Gingrich need to stop pretending they're the persecuted ones.

5. Neut seems like he's running for office, no?

Neuter wants to be President in '12....:puke:

mark :patriot:

[peace frog]

7. Run Newt Run

It would be the most entertaining campaign since Sarah Palin winked her way into our living rooms. :popcorn:

[old mark]

15. Wouldn't that be a ticket? But even the GOP would be too smart to

combine them.....
or not...:rofl:

8. Did he just wake up?

What an idiot Newt is.

[Submariner]

9. Newt Gingrich = Osama Bin Laden

Newt is firing up the whacko christo-fascist religious base just like Osama stoked the seeds of hate with muslim extremists.

Newt is, therefore, a fukking TRAITOR.

10. Some of the most intelligent, "person next door" folks I've known are NeoPagans

I myself am drawn to some of the Celtic Reconstructionism stuff, but ultimately what works for me best is Zen Buddhism.

I'm waiting for him to start shrieking about "Satanic Panic Abuse" soon. :eyes:

22. Hey, if Members Only jackets can make a comeback

Why not some of the other awful fads of the 80s.

[LostinVA]

24. Jeebus -- scary

[madrchsod]

11. newt has a reptilian brain

every "christian" ceremony and holiday was based on pagan symbols and festivals....to bad newt does`t believe in the words of christ....

[MineralMan]

12. Of course he does. He's named for a salamander, after all.

[KittyWampus]

14. He says that like it's a bad thing. New Movie called "The Lack of Sense" I SEE PAGANS!

[Vickers]

16. I don't need someone on their third marriage moralizing to me...

:eyes:

"I am not a citizen of the world."

Yeah, we're trying to clean up after years of that attitude have left our international reputation in the shitter.

[Chovexani]

17. Awwww, poor Newty-kins

Looks like someone's cranky because he wasn't cool enough to get invited to the Beltane orgy

[csziggy]

18. Having watched 'The Handmaid's Tale' last night, I'm happier surrounded by pagans

These American Taliban scare me, especially when I look at what they want to do with our country.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

19. I still remember when we went to visit my step-son

He said, "I hang around with Pagans." My husband replied, "Well, Pagans are good people." We had a fine time with his friends, sharing sweat lodge stories and singing sons about the Goddess. Step-son was very happy because he had parents he was proud to introduce to his friends.

20. having to listen to "assholism" is a far worse predicament.

doesn't he have a wife to betray or something else to keep him busy?

[RB TexLa]

21. Nationlism meets theology. Never a good combination. So God made the US but not the world?

Nice little box you've put God in, Newt.

23. Gingrich: surrounded by brain-addled by fundies

and GOP dumbasses
