A modest proposal: We should postpone most of the arguing over the existence or nonexistence of deities and such until we get the country out of danger from the loonies.

After 2000 I used to worry that Newt Gingrich might eventually get the nomination and win. Now he has peers that I can be as concerned about, but one aspect of Newt karma that stands out is the vicious ways that he goes after the opposition. While some of his political positions can be nuanced what he willing to say about people on the other side in in the Foxian extreme camp. One example is/was his slam-attacks on Nancy Pelosi after 9/11 calling her and left wing democrats using words such as 'Lied,' 'Despicable,' 'Dishonest,' 'Vicious,' See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FomI4hRGyLcGary Berg-Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00104267265989624672noreply@blogger.com
