"Gingrich, a former U.S. Representative and 58th Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said an atheist has no business in the White House. Does faith matter? Absolutely, Gingrich said. How can you have judgment if you have no faith? How can I trust you with power if you dont pray? He continued, the notion that you are endowed by your creator sets a certain boundary of what we mean by America. Gingrich said that Americans should value religion first, above morality and knowledge."
Newt wants to set himself up as the judge of who is a real American, based on thay they do or do not believe. There's pleny more out there to document Gingrich's desire to set up a second-class citizenship status for securlar and Islamic Americans, if you're interested.
Hard to understand why anyone would be so quick to accuse a DUer of bias for pointing out bias in someone who's established a 30 year track record of intolerance.
