1. Has it been accurately reported that, after the commencement address, Speaker Gingrich said at a news conference, as quoted in several AP reports: "Anybody on the Left who hopes that when people like Reverend Falwell disappear that the opportunity to convert all of America has gone with them, fundamentally misunderstands why institutions like this were created" ? 2. Does Speaker Gingrich believe, as the transcript of his address suggests, that the U.S. was founded as a Christian nation (as opposed to a secular nation)? 3. Should he decide to try for the presidential nomination, how will the concepts Speaker Gingrich expressed in the commencement address play with voters and media in primaries in blue or marginally red states? 4. Is my recollection correct that, when he led Congress, Speaker Gingrich did not move or cause to be moved any legislation advancing the ideas he expressed in the commencement address? If I am correct, why not? What was the difference between then and now? If I am incorrect, I'd greatly appreciate an example or two of the legislation.
