I think every religious person should have a deep sense of respect for other peoples religious documents and religious symbols just as we were deeply opposed to the Taliban destroying the two historic buddhas which they blew up. So I think we ought to all oppose burning the Koran. – Newt Gingrich
It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending. – Newt Gingrich
Imagine a judicial nominee said my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman. Wouldnt they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism. – Newt Gingrich
I think the destructive, vicious, negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, harder to attract decent people to run for public office. – Newt Gingrich
Just as we reject racism, sexism, ageism, and heterosexism, we reject speciesism.

Francione
