Sacrificial Virgins R Us
Jeebus.
Besides the bat shit craziness of that notion, in a nation where something like 80 percent of our citizenry believe in the Virgin birth and the existence of angels, will the EM ESS EM perhaps stop telling us that Newt Gingrich is a statesman and man of ideas? Ah, he continues...
Funny, Republicans were in political control for most of the past, oh, thirty years, and in charge of all three branches of government for nearly eight. And yet, abortion remains both legal and constitutionally protected. But I forget, scumbags like Gingrich don't want to eliminate abortion or gay rights, nor can they point to a single instance where religion has been removed from American public life (as he watched a professional sporting event lately?). On the contrary, scumbags like the thrice-married Catholic (how, pray tell, does that work?) want to use those scary specters as free passes to get on TV and raise money for his PAC ("Fuck You, America").
But no religious conclave would be complete without a Mike Huckabee history lesson.
"I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history," Gingrich said. "We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism."

They and other speakers warned about the continuing availability of abortion, the spread of gay rights, and attempts to remove religion from American public life and school history books.

Huckabee told the audience he was disturbed to hear President Barack Obama say during his speech in Cairo, Egypt, on Thursday that one nation shouldn't be exalted over another.
"The notion that we are just one of many among equals is nonsense," Huckabee said. The United States is a "blessed" nation, he said, calling American revolutionaries' defeat of the British empire "a miracle from God's hand."
Funny, I thought it was an over-extended British army, Franklin's brilliant diplomacy resulting in well-timed loans from the French, and the Americans' better strategy and familiarity with their own territory. Stupid me. It was GOD all the time.
