Gingrich: Americans ‘surrounded by paganism.’
On Friday, Newt Gingrich, Mike Huckabee, and Oliver North visited Rock Church in Hampton Roads, Virginia to give a three-hour long lecture on “Rediscovering God in America.” The speakers warned the audience about the “continuing availability of abortion, the spread of gay rights, and attempts to remove religion from American public life and school history books.” The Virginia-Pilot reported that Gingrich argued that, while Christianity is the foundation of American citizenship, Americans are experiencing a period where they are being “surrounded by paganism”:GINGRICH: I am not a citizen of the world. I am a citizen of the United States because only in the United States does citizenship start with our creator. [...] I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history. We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism.
Huckabee also equated America’s victory against the British in the Revolutionary War with the right-wing’s success in the Proposition 8 fight in California as being miracles “from God’s hand.”

"Funnily" enough, the items that he mentioned - “continuing availability of abortion, the spread of gay rights, and attempts to remove religion from American public life and school history books.”- are all American rights guaranteed by our Constitution.
So, apparently, they don't believe in America's founding principles.
Why are the repugs so anti-American? If they don't like this country, they should leave!
