Newt Gingrich, Intellectual

Filed in National by on March 30, 2011

Newt Gingrich:

“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.”

I am also scared of secular atheist radical Islamists, since they are very confused.

    An intellectual would know that nature of America IS the struggle between opposing viewpoints – or rather, the toleration and peaceful resolution of opposing viewpoints.

    Once somebody decisively wins, the American Experiment is over. What Newt is proposing is authoritarianism.

    Using the words “Newt” and/or “Gingrich” and “intellectual” out to be an immediate banning offense.

    😆

    Unless you’ve figured out how to be part of his *paid* PR juggernaut.

    ” they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical CHRISTIANS and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.”

    I changed ONE word of Newt’s speech to reflect the America he and the conservtive christians want….especially the Sussex nuts.

    interesting how it reads now…..

    and the closing line:

    “I am also scared of secular atheist radical CHRISTIANS, since they are very confused”

    and the closing statement still holds true, by changing the same word – so under the rules of logic, we have found a defined truth.

    The experiment was repeated and the results the same – UI you are a genuis!

    A proper skewering of La Newtie.

    Newt pulls ahead with the most GOP scare words in a single sentence, while Palin’s handlers try to figure out how to wedge elite, liberal, media, gun control, rap music, abortion, tax increase, Bill Clinton, latte, ACORN, literacy, and gay marriage into a single sentence.

  6. anon says:

    Palin also has to somehow fit it into a tweet.

    If I become a radical Islamo-atheist, does that mean I get my 72 virgins before I blow myself up? Or would I have to execute myself for apostasy?

    The good news is that you do in fact get your 72 virgins if you blow yourself up. The bad news is, in Virgin Heaven there are no men.
