- Timpala, on 06/06/2009, -11/+448Does paganism include screwing-around-on-your-wife-ism? If so, I guess he would know best.
- JoeMondo, on 06/07/2009, -13/+331There is no creator mentioned in the Constitution.
(The Constitution, it should be noted, is rarely referenced by Con pigs like Newt. They prefer things like the flag, that they can try to impart meaning to, which is more convenient than the actual Constitution.) - bradspangler, on 06/06/2009, -19/+330By and large, modern pagans tend to be nice people. This is a non-issue.
- cheezintern, on 06/06/2009, -22/+315Last time I checked, it was perfectly legal and acceptable in America to call yourself a pagan. To me at least, Paganism and Christianity are both silly superstitions whose time has come and gone..
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -8/+282This guy cheats on his wife while she battles cancer, then dumps her for the whore he was cheating with. Clearly he is the moral authority for talibangelical americans.
- Keggluneq, on 06/07/2009, -10/+241Racist, adulterer, has-been, assclown Gingrich the Newt whips up wingnuts in Virginia with Medieval reference to... "Paganism"? Did he really say paganism?? What an idiot.
Shows how in-touch Republicans are with 13th century mentality. - Chestnutridge, on 06/06/2009, -8/+216Boy, he is really courting the religious right isn't he? I first thought his mind had gone off the rails but after thinking about it, I think it is all a pose. He wants their support for his next grab at power and he will say anything to get it. Funny how his Christian ethics didn't stop him from informing his wife that he wanted an divorce to marry his mistress while she was in the hospital having cancer surgery. I guess that living a Christian life stuff doesn't apply to him.
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -19/+153Jesus ***** Christ
- Ymeg, on 06/07/2009, -6/+132I think he means Pragmatism.
- AgeofMastery, on 06/07/2009, -9/+134As a pagan I'm glad Newt doesn't like me. I'd feel pretty ***** if I was his kind of person...
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -6/+130He should know... A witch turned him into a Newt!
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -6/+124Yet Christianity copied so much from "paganism"... irony.
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -4/+119The Crusades? No wait, that was Christians. The Inquisition? Nope, darn it, that was Christians again. Witch-burnings? Damnit...
Not trying to pick on Christians or anything, just illustrating a point here, that Christians have been doing horrible things far more recently than Pagans. - JoeMondo, on 06/07/2009, -6/+110Got anything in, say..... the last 1,000 years?
- STBAT25, on 06/06/2009, -9/+111Oh good, Oliver North was there. I was worried this was some kind of circus. /s
- secrity, on 06/07/2009, -5/+103At least Pagans are harmless; they don't go around ***** over people who don't agree with their "faith"
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -3/+98Those aren't facts, those are paranoid ramblings.
- JoeMondo, on 06/07/2009, -5/+97Who but a religious nut worries about occultism in pop culture?
You're not fooling anyone. - Gemfinder, on 06/07/2009, -6/+98Surrounded by pagans?
If that's true, then they're pretty spread out. There's a little less than a million Americans that identify their spirituality as "Pagan."
Talibangelicals aren't surrounded by paganism, it's the other way around! Where are those bloody lions when we need 'em?! - franklymister, on 06/07/2009, -5/+86"only in the United States does citizenship start with our creator"
If he's trying to say that the United States is the only country where citizenship is bestowed by God, then he's living in Bizarro World.
I can think of a couple dozen countries that consider themselves to be based on religion, and almost all of them are Islamic. The difference about the United States, the very POINT of "American Exceptionalism," is that we are the only nation founded on an idea. That idea includes the fact that we are a SECULAR nation, where any one is free to worship or not worship as they wish.
Republicans need to stop pandering to the Religious Right. It always comes across as either insincere (as in the case of the philandering Gingrich) or creepy (Romney, Huckabee) - and it always turns off the 77% of Americans that are not evangelical / fundamentalist Christians. - noahpurdy, on 06/07/2009, -5/+74This country was not founded on Christianity. The founding fathers were incredibly secular. Seen as deists in their day good ole Newt would probably call them a pagan today.
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -9/+77WHAT THE ***** IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT?! PAGANS?! REALLY?! IT'S 2009, YOU *****.
- bizzywho, on 06/07/2009, -9/+72"I am not a citizen of the world. I am a citizen of the United States..."
That's like saying: "I'm not human. I'm a white male." - JoeMondo, on 06/07/2009, -6/+68" Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."
US Treat with Tripoli - Unanimously approved by the US Senate, June 7, 1797. John Adams, having seen the treaty, signed it and proudly proclaimed it to the Nation. - Vegabondsx, on 06/07/2009, -3/+65You obviously are paranoid and don't know the first thing about or have met any neopagans.
- JoeMondo, on 06/07/2009, -4/+66Where on the moral background do you find:
* Dumping your first cancer stricken wife on her hospital bed so you can marry your younger girlfriend;
* Lying to the US so you can pursue a war to settle your daddy issues
* Murdering people who do legal things you don't like
? - silvern88, on 06/07/2009, -1/+62Talibangelical--- I like it!
- AngustheCat, on 06/07/2009, -3/+60This does not AT ALL sound anything like something Osama bin Laden would say. Not at all.
Okay, maybe just a little bit.... - dty2010, on 06/07/2009, -5/+62How can you use the phrase "surrounded by paganism" to mean something bad in a country that is supposed to support freedom of religion?
- hydrodev, on 06/07/2009, -3/+60Freedom of religion?
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -2/+58Look at the dates for pagan holidays (summer/winter solstice, yule, etc) and then look at the dates for Christian holidays, and then tell me that it isn't completely ***** up that Christianity has buried the real pagan religion by imposing their belief system on others by deciding that Jesus 'was born' on Dec 25th. Easter, Lent, etc.
- inactive, on 06/07/2009, -1/+56Hey, shut up, you don't know, maybe he's one of those Christians who doesn't celebrate either Easter or Christmas because of their overtly Pagan themes.
- lukas88, on 06/07/2009, -3/+58I think he's just talking out of his ass to kick up dust.
- anom1234, on 06/07/2009, -2/+57Not least of which half of the Christian ceremonies practiced in the United States and around the world are borrowed from paganism. If you wan't to think of paganism as somehow illegal, then you have to accept the celebration of Christmas is equally illegal.
- SpeedSteamBoat, on 06/07/2009, -0/+54We still have freedom of religion. I'm sure if you asked Newt he would agree that there are infinite ways to accept Jesus Christ as your personal lord and savior. /Colbert
- JoeMondo, on 06/07/2009, -3/+55"Someone who actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to occult matters."
Dazzle us with your knowledge of the grave dangers. - ackack, on 06/07/2009, -3/+54I haven't heard of any pagans going into churches lately and shooting someone they don't agree with.
Being a devout christian is _SO_ much better. <rolls eyes> - Timpala, on 06/06/2009, -34/+82Hey country bumpkins (Republicans) he means you!
- SoCalCove, on 06/07/2009, -3/+49If people would view each other less with religious preference and more with coexisting, we would probably be 1000 years ahead by now.
Relatively speaking, many religions point to a higher power, just with a different name/illustration, kinda funny if not sad that we are killing and descrimating based on how you worship even though many worship the same 'greater power'. - BlacklabelSAR, on 06/07/2009, -6/+51My talking snakes are divided on the subject.
But then one of them is a Buddhist and the other won't stop talking about how the Royal Family are Trans-dimensional Reptilians. I think he has David Icke on IM. - browwiw, on 06/07/2009, -4/+49Oh, Barry Goldwater, how I miss you and your era of non-*****-crazy conservatives.
If you're a Christian and believe you're somehow in the minority (and not the super majority, which your are), then you've drank the Brawndo because it's got electrolytes. - RavagesOfTime, on 06/07/2009, -3/+48If for no other reason, dugg, because it's just laugh-out-loud funny.
Surrounded by Pagans.......HA! - inactive, on 06/07/2009, -4/+48Chill out people, he clearly just forgot the /s tag. Hehe, can you imagine someone actually being so stupid that they feel that atheists are somehow a threat to America? LMAO
- macfan93, on 06/07/2009, -5/+49Don't you guys see? Newt is trying to SAVE the gays from marriage.
After all, he has had three, he's the expert on this kind of stuff. - KyotoWolf, on 06/07/2009, -3/+46Christians might seem to be "good" people, but what kind of person really wants to be known as evil? That's the only thing I respect about Christians is that they're out there in the open. Occultists, Satanists, etc, are more like snakes in the grass. The whole lot of them have some seriously dark beliefs and practices. Christian symbols and practices permeates its way into films, music, television and politics ( most of you already knew that though, didn't you ;) ). You can call a shiny side of a dirty coin clean, but it is just a side of the same dirty coin.

Note: I'm an atheist but have no gripes with any religion. - niradg, on 06/07/2009, -5/+48PAGANS!!!!!!
</dragnet> - inactive, on 06/07/2009, -3/+43What's there to discuss? Like I said, it's just paranoid ramblings without even the slightest offering of any evidence to give any of this ***** any credibility.
- breadfred, on 06/07/2009, -1/+40Ah, slight misunderstanding there I think, endrodgers731, although you are not far of the mark and the result is the same: Christians could not convince the pagans to give up their holy days, so the Christians gave the Pagan holy days a Christian relevance, as to convert the Unwashed.
- canada42, on 06/07/2009, -2/+41@dckerjo555
As someone who has practiced forms of paganism (I no longer do), and has pagan relatives, you have no idea what you're talking about. - sugarazor, on 06/07/2009, -2/+40The difference is, John Edwards political career is over because of his adultery. Newt Gingrich could very well be the guy to run against Obama in 2012... ah the joys of Republican hypocrisy.
