More Republican Jihadist Connections

Another example of how Republicans in America resemble right wing Muslim extremists abroad, or at least covet the administration of their governments, is disgraced former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's latest revelation about how we shouldn't allow mosques to be built in NYC because Saudi Arabia doesn't allow churches or synagogues. Yes, Newt, the measurement at which to judge freedom is the wahhabist Monarchy of Saudi Arabia.  You're brilliant dude.

Like Matthew Yglesias said the other day, adhering to Gingrich's rules would turn us into a theocracy and would mean al Qaeda won.

Just to recap, Republican Rep. Zach Wamp says the dissolution of the Union is necessary if President Obama is not stopped (absolute treason).  Current Republican Lt. Gov. of Tennessee and candidate for governor, Ron Ramsey, says the Constitution does not protect Islam, just like Sharia Law doesn't protect Christians (theocratic control). And now Republican Newt Gingrich wants to copy Saudi policy to "protect us" from the evildoers.  Maybe it's just me, but I don't want America to look anything like a wahhabist country.
