At a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich answered a question from a woman who was concerned that he supported the idea of religion imposing values on Americans.

“I’m very concerned that a branch of Christianity has gotten some of its tenets into our laws like stem cell research, linking foreign aid to reproductive issues and so forth,” she told the former House Speaker. “If you were president, would you work hard to make Christian social issues the law of the land?”

He continued: “The idea that taking school prayer out in 1963 made the country better, I don’t see any evidence that children who don’t spend a moment recognizing that they’re subservient to God let’s you approach God in anyway you want to. There is an enormous difference between a culture which believes that it is purely secular and a culture that believes that it is somehow empowered by our creator. And I always tell my friends who don’t believe in this stuff, “Fine, how do you think we came to — we’re randomly gathered protoplasm? We could have been rhinoceroses but we got lucky this week?’”

7. Compared to Newt Gingrich,

it was the rhinoceroses that got lucky. The rest of we humans have to suffer that asshole's stupid bullshit comments and know we are the same species as him.

8. VERY compelling--puts Aquinas and Augustine to shame

9. The word of God...as interpreted and enforced by the Republican Party.

It's all about using "God" to further your personal secular power agenda.

10. If Newt is"intelligently designed", why in God's name is he still running for President?

Is he the only one who doesn't see what a total fucking joke his candidacy is?
