Barney Frank calls Newt Gingrich hypocritical

WASHINGTON -- His term ends in just two weeks but that did not stop the soon-to-retire, infamously cantankerous Massachusetts Democrat for slamming his former rival.

Congressman Barney Frank blasted former House Speaker Newt Gingrich for hypocrisy on Wednesday, criticizing the marital track record of his political nemesis after Gringrich connected the Sandy Hook school massacre to the absence of religion in public life.

Newt Gingrich hypocritical? This is news? Barney Frank cantankerous? This is news?

Gingrich is correct. Frank is a fool

God, by definition, is never "driven out of" anywhere, like a home-wrecker put on the next tain out of Dodge.  The only thing God does is to love, without bounds, which is manifest in his creating.  Man can join in God's activity--to love and to create--or not.  Man is the only creation that deliberately hates and destroys.  Let's leave these two Pharisees of Congress by themselves "to prate about an elephant not one of them has seen."
