Thank you for the comments. I am not glued to the Gingrich campaign site, nor am I getting frequent emails to boot. I realize that campaigns attract people that mean well, and we shouldn’t blame the campaign for everything. It still baffles me some of this absolute crash and burn tactics used against Santorum. Support for this must come from somewhere, because some of it just wreaks of organizational production. That said, I don’t think it’s all derived from that, so I do cut Gingrich some slack with regard to it.
Unspun is a good person, if it’s the same person I used to know, so I’m not here to give them an overly hard time. The person I knew had good instincts about most things, and I’d imagine they still do.
“Wild eyed stuff from the 1960 Kennedy campaign”, that was my first thought too, although I was nine at the time, the overt anti-Catholic sentiment was rampant that election cycle. I think folks sometimes let certain thoughts overcome their normally reasoned logic. We’ve all been guilty of it on some subject or anther, so no use acting like we haven’t, no inference to you intended.
I don’t think there’s once chance in a gazillion, that Congress is going to implement a Catholic game plan in this climate of “Christ is dead”, and we can’t pray in public schools because someone will be fatally injured. Islamic Sharia has a far better chance, and Obama hasn’t sought that. (YET!) LOL
Thank you for your post. I appreciate the comments, and the agreements of course.
Take care.

Thank you, Doughty One... much appreciated.
I remember our prior discussions last year about the National Anthem and the SDA Medal of Honor recipient. I value your desire here to emphasize the importance of Christian values in politics, and I think it’s important for American Christians today, regardless of denomination, to realize that we’re under a direct frontal assault.
It is disheartening to hear comments here on Free Republic, one of the more influential conservative discussion forums on the internet, which seem to relegate faith to people’s private lives and act as if we should not allow religious morality to govern our political decisions.
Someone else here on Free Republic said correctly that it appears some conservatives have allowed liberalism to remain rent-free in certain back corners of their minds. I think nearly everyone who posts on Free Republic is a well-meaning conservative, and I’m not accusing people here of being closet liberals; I just wish I weren’t seeing attacks on Christianity from conservatives that are inconsistent with the conservative view of Judeo-Christian Western civilization which I am well aware Newt Gingrich strongly affirms.
We have over 50 cases nationwide where Sharia Law was cited.
