This is the future of America and the reason we’re here is we want to learn what kind of future are they going to have. Are they going to have a future of opportunity, of safety, of freedom? Or are they going to have an opportunity of dependence on government, control from Washington, danger from foreigners? And this election may be the most important election of their lifetime and they can’t vote yet … and so, in a sense, we have to stand in as trustees of their country, all of us, every one of us has to stand in.

If I am president, these children are not going to grow up in a secular country dominated by elites who despise our history, dislike our culture, and dislike our religion. These children are going to grow up in a country which is genuinely free and which worships God, which is the source of our rights!

"... which is genuinely free and which worships God..."

 

Can't have it both ways there, Newty boy.

"...dominated by elites who despise our history"

 

I imagine that Newt has a rule that when he is on the road, all mirrors must be removed from any room he is going to be in...

This election is the most important in our history.....just like the one before it....and the one before that one...etc,etc. This apocalyptic bullshit is going to drive the crazies into even more dangerous activities.

Honestly, though, I watched that Bill Moyers interview on conservative versus liberal thinking and the conclusion the guy basically came to, boiled down, is that the right is better at messaging -- at cementing a concept or right as sacred (I think he called it sacralizing) than the left.  And he's right.  The left's beliefs are sacred to us, to the country, to humanity; we just never seem to articulate them in a coherent, resonant way.  As much of a grifter as Newt is, he's got this stuff cold.

 I would assume kids would take a secular society over one without child labor laws.

Is it possible that we're bad at boiling down a concrete, liberal message because we're afraid it might boil down to "hey dummy, stop being such a sucker that falls for every single lie these dip shits are feeding you"?

American culture is still so diverse, I have to ask, what culture, specifically, is he talking about?

He would say American Culture but what he means is white culture. And what he means by white culture is white people in charge of everything.

Don't be silly. People of all creeds and colors are welcome in Newt's Amurica! As long as they're rich.

 

And have their own country clubs.

Newt also accepts moon bases and Super PAC's. Otherwise, you best stay home.
