Newt Gingrich: U.S. Citizenship Starts With Our Creator

Share |

On Friday, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Oliver North visited Rock Church in Hampton Roads, Virginia to take part in a three-hour long tent revival that focused on "Rediscovering God in America." The speakers warned the audience about the "continuing availability of abortion, the spread of gay rights, and attempts to remove religion from American public life and school history books. What a slap in the face it was for some spectators to hear the most divisive speech coming from Newt Gingrich, a womanizing adulterer in his own right. Gingrich did take the time to point out that through the grace of God, there was at least "one less outlet" for abortion while not mentioning anyone by name, but obviously referring to the recent murder of Dr. George Tiller.

" The Virginia-Pilot

reported that Gingrich argued that, while Christianity is the foundation of American citizenship, Americans are experiencing a period where they are being "surrounded by paganism":

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.

I'm not sure what Gingrich means by "only in the United States does citizenship start with our creator." I've looked at the documentation for U.S. citizenship and there is no mention of God, Jesus, Allah, Christ, Religion, a Creator or anything of the sort. However, if one was of the belief that a "Creator" was responsible for men and the earth, wouldn't he or she also be responsible for the gay ones as well? - According to Gingrich, besides cutting hair and decorating living rooms, gays have no redeeming value.

GINGRICH: "Even those who make claims of redemption will not be welcomed into the kingdom of heaven."

Huckabee also equated America’s victory against the British in the Revolutionary War with the right-wing’s success in the Proposition 8 fight in California as being miracles "from God’s

hand."

O’Reilly – Hannity : The New Jihadist In The NeoCon Holy War

By Chico Brisbane

If Bill O’Reilly doesn’t want to be blamed whenever some psycho goes off the deepend and brutaly murders a person that he has repeatedly demonized—as in the case of George Tiller, the doctor whom was shot dead in his church last Sunday by an anti-abortion zealot—then Mr. O’Reilly and all of the other wing-nuts over at Fox News might want to kick down their rhetoric a few thousand notches.

The Fox News Channel and particularly the O’Reilly Factor was the only place where I saw the relentless “Tiller The Killer” rhetoric, so it stands to reason that the shooter, Scott Roeder must have been fed the fuel via the same source. I see very little difference between Bill O’Reilly and one of these older islamic extreamist who pumps up a young jihadist until he straps on a bomb and goes and blows himself up in the middle of a crowded marketplace. O’Reilly kept up his rhetoric until his goal was accomplished and it’s no different then Hannity’s endless, and night after night “Obama’s a radical” rant that set some young white supremistsi off. Fortunately they where caught on the way the the democratic national convention before they could strike.

This type of rhetoric, which pumps up the ratings for O’Reilly and Hannity is no different then the sillyness that made the Jerry Springer show such a success. People will always love to tune in to watch the lowest forms of humanity turn against each other with little regard to consequence. It is in my opinion, the newest form of domestic terrorism.
