WB: Newt Gingrich

Gingrich talked about the need to "defend us and defeat them" when it comes to national defense and fighting the bad guys. Gingrich said a recent survey revealed somewhere around 80% of Americans see it this way.

He also said 89% of the American people believe religion is important to them and their family; he said this might shock many in the "mainstream" media, and cause a sizeable number at the New York Times to migrate to New Zealand.

Gingrich said the results of this survey represents not the America you see on the cover of news magazines, but it does represent the America that reads these magazines.

Gingrich said America is unique in recognizing that freedom comes from God, and that each person inherits that directly from God, not through government. He also said government does not loan us power, we loan it power.

He said he isn't making a theological statement, but a historical statement that we have the right to fire those to whom we have loaned power and who have abused it.

Gingrich talked about the argument that the Founders were deists. He took the crowd on a verbal tour of the monuments in DC. It says "Glory to God" at the top of the Washington Monument. He told of George Washington's faith in God.

He also examined Jefferson and the secularist mythos around him, and examined the "wall of separation between church and state" fallacy. Gingrich said this was to prevent us from being taxed to produce an official state church.

Two days after Jefferson wrote that letter, he went into the US Capitol and went to church in the US House chamber which was used as a church for about century. I have sworn upon the altar of God Almighty eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." Which God was Jefferson talking about? Isn't it obvious?

Lincoln Memorial features the Gettysburg Address where Lincoln wrote into the text of his speech "under God." And at Lincoln's second inaugural address, he cited God 14 times and cited the Bible twice in some 700 words.

Gingrich also cited FDR's prayer, leading America in prayer over the D-Day Normandy Invasion on national radio. He prayed for 9.5 minutes and wasn't afraid to say that our enemies were evil and that we needed to defeat them. Gingrich pointed out that even a liberal Democrat could acknowledge this and do this as recently as 60 years ago.

Gingrich pointed to the violence, drugs, and ignorance in schools since prayer was banned and said he didn't think this has improved our schools one bit.

Gingrich received loud applause when he said America should make English our official language.

He said he believes one day all Americans regardless of party and political backgrounds will come together and realize the path liberal judges have put us on is a path that will end America as we know it.

The correct answer for those opposed to what we believe in is to go to the polls, mobilize our friends, defeat them, they go home and write memoirs and America moves in the right direction.
