Newt Gingrich said Tuesday the Obama administration is "intensely secular" and "anti-religious," the former House Speaker's second hard-hitting criticism of the new administration this week.Well, Mr. Gingrich - our nation is secular. Our government is a secular entity. While I would not characterize the Obama administration as "intensely secular", I am happy to have a President that does not believe he was chosen by God to lead our nation.In an interview with FOX News, Gingrich said he strongly disagreed with Obama's choice of Harry Knox — an outspoken activist for gay rights — to the White House advisory council on faith-based initiatives.
"I think their goal is to have a very secular America in which government dominates everything," he said. "Why wouldn't you put an anti-religious, left-wing zealot on a faith-based group? It's a perfect pattern for this administration."

That's kind of playing loose and fast with the truth right there. We are becoming a more secular nation, I agree, but our government was supposed to be secular from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteAnti-religious? What do you think morality and virtue are? Doesn't matter in what package it comes in, Newt.
I appreciate when a person realizes that they are on the path that God intended for them. I for one would hope that God would be with us because we need His protection and guidance. But that's just me being a Christian :)
ReplyDeleteHave you heard of Frank Pastori? I listen to his show almost daily on my home from work. I think he's national, but not sure. Sometimes I HAVE to turn him off, I just can't listen to him. Just wondering if you've heard of him.
