At least that’s what he told his first two wives...
This country WAS founded by Christian Europeans after all.
Just in terms of basic pragmatism, how can our society work if we ignore that fact or if we behave AS IF that fact is incidental? It only makes sense.
You don’t see for example, Indians behaving as if there are no Siks or Hindus in their country.
Newt was the only one who handled it right when addressing that ‘gotcha question’ from faggot Cooper. By referring to quotes from the founders, Newt deflected the divisive issue to a non-issue. Both Rominy and Perry fell into the trap though they didn’t go at each other or fawn at each other as CNN had hoped to display.
Someone’s “faith” determines their pre-suppositions,
such as the nature of man, the nature and existence of God, etc.
If you think there’s no God and humans are an accident of chance and natural selection, you’re going to view the role of governing and government a lot differently than
if you believe that humans are created in God’s image and that all will be held accountable to Him in the end.
Two Catholics bump here!
Santorum and Gingrich
Boy would he cream Obama in a one on one format. An educated man against an affirmative action disaster.
Must be true Newt. The GOP has never nominated a Catholic for President. Notice Newt didn’t say he was a Catholic.
Newt comes up with the most perfect answers a lot of the time....that he doesn’t always live up to these principles is fact. We need to never venture off the path to truth and justice-—which is outlined in our Founding documents....it is very clear-—our inalienable rights come from God and as such we ALWAYS use his standards for our legal system (not Barney Frank’s standards).
That said, we have gone off the path since the progressive Oliver Wendell Holmes destroyed our “Rule of Law” and created arbitrary laws (Positive Law) not based on “Right Reason according to Nature” which is the foundation of our legal system (and Natural Law Theory).
Faith matters—and our system has to have people who believe in God....that was understood by all the Founders. Atheists could not honestly take any of the oaths for government positions. Allah doesn’t take the place of God either, so the Koran that advocates shariah laws should NEVER be used because it goes against all the principles of our government and is in direct conflict with our Constitution. We used to have to take oaths to be citizens of this country and not all belief systems were accepted.
Communism/atheism was one of them. Fundamentally in direct conflict with our Constitution. Freedoms were only available to those with the concept that their are higher laws than man-made up laws which are not based on the idea of nature and God—Supra Positive Law.
Santorum’s answer is much better. He is absolutely spot-on correct. As usual, Newt obfuscates because he thinks he’s the smartest person in the room. He’s not. I guess Newt has reason to feel uncomfortable with Santorum’s emphasis on values, eh?
For the most part politicians are arrogant egotistical power hungry and will do or say what ever it takes to attain and hold power
Their God is themselves or think they have been ordained by the Creator to rule
Indeed it was an excellent answer! Newt Gingrich has certainly made mistakes in his life....as have WE ALL...but I get the sense that he has grown from that.
I know that I DEFINITELY like how he is doing in these debates.
I also like Rick Santorum.
Both understand the important issue and WHY they are important.
We are praying for this nation....and that God will grant us the blessing of good leaders.
Unalienable. Not inalienable.
Newt always has the best answers, and this was one of them. Too bad he’s a weasel, but I do appreciate his intellect.
