Exactly what needed to be said

For the first time in a long time, I am engaged in politics again, mainly because of Rick Santorum's surge in the polls.  I am not necessarily a Newt supporter, but I do like him better than I used to many years ago.  I like Santorum better.  But what Newt said at the debate Saturday night was exactly right, especially with regards to "secular bigotry":

“I just want to raise a point about the news media bias,” Gingrich said after a rhetorical skirmish about gay marriage. “You don’t hear the opposite question asked.

“Should the Catholic Church be forced to close its adoption services in Massachusetts because it won’t accept gay couples, which is exactly what the state has done? Should the Catholic Church be driven out of providing charitable services in the District of Columbia because it won’t give in to secular bigotry? Should the Catholic Church find itself discriminated against by the Obama administration on key delivery of services because of the bias and the bigotry of the administration?”

“The bigotry question goes both ways,” Gingrich added. “And there’s a lot more anti-Christian bigotry today than there is concerning the other side. And none of it gets covered by the news media."
