Quoth Newt Gingrich, Republican presidential hopeful for 2012, whose unlikely strategy for standing out from the rest of the pack is to portray himself as the reasonable and intellectual historian in a field dominated by raving wingnuts:
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.”
those bolds are mine, btw
He might want to brush up a little bit on some basic vocabulary concepts before the debates, don’t you think? The saddest thing though, is that most of his audience probably didn’t even notice.
I think there’s really only one truly valid response here:
what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
