Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted June 7, 2009 article At an event in Virginia titled "Rediscovering God in America," Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee aimed to recapture lost political momentum for the Christian right with strong exhortations for members to involve themselves in politics in order to maintain and increase the presence of religion in the public square, the Virginia-Pilot reports. Both men railed against abortion rights, gay rights and the lack of religious influence in American public life, however Gingrich upped the ante in his attempt to stir up the crowd with this line: 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. However, Huckabee was not to be outdone in the use of hyperbole. The former Republican presidential candidate called the United States a "blessed" nation whose victory against the British in the Revolutionary War was "a miracle from God's hand," indeed the same type of miracle that defeated the legalization of gay marriage in California. Another speaker at the event was Oliver North.

Those who fight deplorables should see to it that they themselves do not become deplorables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
