Gingrich to Obama: ‘Respect our religion,’ not ‘every other religion’

These guys will wave all kinds of wedge issues at us instead of talking about real issues.

Wouldn't that be like respecting hatred, bigotry and the subjugation of women all in one fell swoop ??

Pretty funny for a guy who's been divorced twice and cheated repeatedly on two wives to be spouting off about his Catholic religion being disrespected.

Yeah, yeah. We MUST respect the Catholic Church, the same folks who brought us the Inquisition---they had NO problem burning, torturing and spreading terror. Seems tome, in a world groaning beneath the weight of 8 billion people (many of whom are starving), it would behoove the CC to lift their ban on birth control. Of course....that would mean fewer Catholics....which is, of course, the whole point of their anti-birth control stand. More Catholics = More Power for the Pope.

Last night on tosh.0 I saw the most disgusting cyst or whatever it was being popped on someone's back. The impossible amount of white crap that came out of that thing was alarming and disturbing. Newt however is still far more disgusting than that! I will never make peace with the fact that there is a sufficient quantity of stupid out there that gives attention to such a fat sack of excrement. We should never have even heard of this turd... except maybe the people in his neighbourhood who would only know him him as "that crazy asshole".

So what, is Newt getting advice from Perry?

Does that mean that the Catholic church loses its tax exempt status? I thought the 1 point that crosses the line is a religious organization making specific reference to specific politicians during ceremonies.

This man will say anything to get elected.

Organized religion seems so, sacrilegious.

I do respect our religion which may not be your religion that don't respect my religion

You are great one to be speaking about religion Newt. By the what does have to with jobs?

Newt Gingrich, do you recognise that the Vatican held talks about the looming threat of the world wide decline in water reserves (Peak Water) and growing problem of starvation? Newt Gingrich, do you recognise the concept of free choice? Do you also recognise you are well out of step with the rest of the world and probably not a good choice to help lead the American people towards a safe and prosperous future. The American people deserve a President who is willing to help unite them, close the gap between rich and poor and not return them to the mistakes of the past.

Newt still hasn't learned that the US is not a Christian nation but a nation made up of many races and religions. I hate the way the so-called "family values" party uses religion as a wedge issue. The sad part is there are people that fall for it.

The president's job, along with jobs of every other government employee, isn't to respect all religions but rather to respect the liberty of every individual to practice whatever religion they choose PROVIDED that individual respects the liberty of others to do the same. If they do not, they're freedom of religion is severely curtailed until they do respect others.

It isn't government's place to favor this or that religion. That's the line the framers of the U.S. Constitution drew in the first amendment. It IS government's place to ensure you are free to worship as you choose.

Newt Gingrich apparently doesn't sign off on your liberty to worship as you choose. He wants HIS religion favored over all others.

Newt Gingrich is no friend to the Constitution, no friend of individual liberty and un-American ...

... unless to you "American" means "our way or the highway".

I have had enough of this shit. The President respects all religions wich is more than I can say for the Christian right wing of the Republican party. Here is how America works assholes:

1) If you don't want to have an abortion no one is going to make you have
one.

2) I you don't believe in birth control you will not be made to use it.

3) If you do not want to respect other peoples sexuality, religion,or race
then you have the right to hate.

However; you do NOT have the right to control other peoples bodies, beliefs, or minds. Why does the country have to be your way? We all will stand before whatever higher power we believe in and answer for our lifes deeds. It is my personal beliefe that those of us who claim to be so sanctimonious are going to come up short on our day of judgement because they lost site of their real purpose.
If you value life so much then take care of the children who have already been born. Children and adults in this country and abroad who need food, clean water, medical attention, shelter, and schooling. If you care about faith so much then learn the true histories of the worlds religions. Also get it through you heads that the followers of Islam BELIVE IN GOD. The same god that you believe in. And that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all people of the book (That being the Old Testiment.)
And if you whant to life a life that is truly Christ like then learn to accept all people (i.e. The parable of The Good Sumarian) Gay people did not choose to be gay any more than Mexican people chose to be Mexican. They were BORN that way.
So please, I and many of my fellow Americans have had enough of this crap. It is time to come together to get our country healthy and strong.

questionable use of the word "our"

Its either respect all religions or no religions....sorry one cannot have favored status any longer. Besides, most of those who fiercely defend their religious liberty are like ostriches with two heads, one in the sand and the other up their ass.

Mammon?

When NEWT understands why he dismiss all the other possible gods, he will understand why I dismiss his.

Since Newt just converted to Catholicism last year does this make him a born again virgin?

While we're at it, let's get some respect for my lack of a religion.

I didn't catch the itemized list of religions that are 'ours'. The only religions invented here are the Mormons and the Pastafarians.

So much for freedom of religion under a Gingrich Presidency. Yet another attack on the constitution from the right. What Obama attacks on Christianity is he talking about? Which of Obama's laws attacking Christianity will he repeal? How is respecting other religions, an attack on freedom of religion? I notice he had to point out when he wasn't making something up. He "respects people power and not money power"? Then why didn't he say he would ignore Citizens United and have the offending Justices arrested?

Wonder what made Newt so "respectful" of religion? The marriages, the divorces, or the women during and between?

What a frickin' buffoon! How about Newt respects OUR religion or lack there of? Or the law? He can not overturn legislation with the stroke of a pen on his first day in office. These idiots in the audience believe it?! Is there a sane person who votes Republican? I doubt it.

The mean old Gritch and his mean old lies and his ill concealed hate is going to get him a very warm place to stay. In his ''Our Religion''s afterlife. Ironic.....unless he doesn't buy it either.

I will respect your religion when your religion respects me.

please newt go away.

“Gov. Romney cut off Kosher meals for Jewish senior citizens who were on Medicaid to save $5 a day,” Gingrich continued.

“Callista and I were at mass last night, and I believe at every Catholic Church, they are reading a letter about the Obama administration’s attack on Christianity,” Gingrich explained. “This is a fundamental assault on the freedom of religion. … If you help me win the nomination and then you help me win the election, on the very first day I’m inaugurated, I will sign an executive order repealing every Obama attack on religion across the entire government.”

Gingrich thinks he's Pope Urban III now. God wills a Crusade against the infidel Obama. Well, that's "converts" for you. I guess he still has a little Southern Baptist in him. Catholics don't use our pulpits to promote politicians.
