Eeek! Surround By Pagans! Eeek!
As the Anti-Gays continue to flog the crumbling, dysfunctional marriage between the Evangelical Wrong and that decaying corpse of an elephant called the Republican Party (why, yes, that would be necrophilia), head corpse-flogger and altogether unpleasant little troll Newt Gingrich pulled a new one out of his chubby chipmunk cheeks: the threat of paganism to the ever-increasingly larger wall between church and state.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee urged Christians to get involved in politics to preserve the presence of religion in American life.
