Newt Gingrich fears atheist & Islamic future

Written by Christopher Thielen in News at March 28, 2011

Newt Gingrich, former US Speaker of the House and possible 2012 US Presidential Candidate, gave a speech today at a Texas church in which he expressed a fear of atheists, Islam, and a lessening of Christian values in America:

I have two grandchildren — Maggie is 11, Robert is 9. I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they’re my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.

Gingrich also expressed his dislike of the 1963 Supreme Court decision banning prayer in public schools:

I had been watching the courts grow steadily more secular and steadily more anti-religious starting with the 1963 school prayer decision. But for some reason this particular decision struck me as so blindingly stupid, so profoundly un-American.

And Gingrich knows blindingly stupid.
