I watched a film of Newt teachin a class on American history. He spoke on the subject of FDR's radio broadcast telling the American people that the D-Day invasions of Normandy had begun.
The guy is a brilliant speaker, and a great student of American History and the Constitution.
There are a lot of nonsense posters here calling him names and spouting nonsense, half truths and out right deceits against him.
The fact of the matter is that Newt Gingrich was the Mastermind behind the balanced budgets of '94 to 2000, that Clinton now wants to take credit for. I remember Clinton and Gore standing on the White House steps, accusing the Republicans of "holding America hostage" when Newt insisted on a balanced budget before the Bill would be allowed to pass the House.
We could use some more of that in Washington.

I thought that the diametric opposite of Neo-Con would be old or traditional Liberal?

Only when comparing ideologies, we were comparing conservatism so we compare like with like. When we want to compare ideology, then yes, one would say a liberal would compare with a con.

Newt should ask the American Fascist Party to nominate him for President. It would not be the first time Newt left a sick spouse for newer hunting grounds. They would love to see King Newt burn the Constitution. LMFAO

This pompous piece of human excrement speaks as if he has been elected to something. Doesn't he remember he was sounded out of office IN DISGRACE ?

He's currently developing "...'American Solutions', his own brainchild of a Nazi-sounding idea that will meld state, municipal, and county governments into one homogenized, "Newt-ered", Republishit mess...looking like a Norman Rockwell painting, but gone bad like every one of the Bush boys.

These filthy Republishits don't get it, do they ? The US of A is sick and tired of their lies, doublespeak, and pederasty. Their venal pronouncements of what is "American" or what is "pure and acceptable" don't make anyone take notice of anything but their sheer hypocrisy.

Go and find Henry Hyde in the dustbin of history, Newt - and join him in silence until you die and go to Hell.

"How can we organize ourselves to do it? And to try to launch a mass movement of people across the whole country who are committed to that scale of change, and who want to apply it. Not just to the presidency, not just to the House, the Senate, but to every level of government"

Good question.

You can't trust this phony either. Remember how he was leading the charge against Clinton about Monica all the while he was banging his secretary on his desk.
Another right winger that has no credibility.

Is this more of the same ole same ole?
Or would Newt represent the LEGAL citizens of the country, unlike BushHilaryObamaJohn and most of the others running?
What would be his platform?
I'm just afraid he would be another professional politician.
I keep hoping that someone will step in that is not one of these rascals that have been around and haven't done anything, except talk.

If you are bored sometime and want a minor intellectual experience...

Compare the CONTRACT ON AMERICA (aka Contract With America) with

The Articles of the Confederation (Constitution of the Confederacy)...

It's pretty funny really...

Newt- what a washed up looser....

The Presidency? In his wet dreams.... ha ha

Hmmmmm. Sounds a little like 'Contract With America' doesn't it?

Newt should spend his time trolling for his next new trophy wife and leave politics in his past.

IT IS TIME TO DEFEAT FASCIST NAZI TERRORISLAM ONCE AND FOR ALL%u2026

In 1786, Thomas Jefferson, then U.S. ambassador to France, and John Adams, then American Ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Dey%u2019s ambassador to Britain, in an attempt to negotiate a peace treaty based on Congress%u2019 vote of funding. To Congress, these two future presidents later reported the reasons for the Muslims%u2019 hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.

%u2026that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.

Sound familiar?

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison defeated the fascist nazi muslims 200 years ago
And again 100 years ago with Theodore Roosevelt
Tunisia in 1881 by France and Libya in 1911 by Italy. By then most of the Islamic world was under Christian domination. With the Ottoman Empire defeated in WW1, secularist Turkish rebels in 1923 overthrew the last Islamic Caliphate,

How about a list of what the "American public" voters want from our presidential candidates?

Seems a lot better than what all of them are selling!

Newt's new "American Solutions, a new generation of solutions at all levels, not just for Washington"

That's hysterical. It sounds like a new hair conditioner.

You can spin Newt's new "American Solutions" and it lands on a solution for your region!

Hmmmmm. Sounds a little like 'Contract With America' doesn't it?

Newt should spend his time trolling for his next new trophy wife and leave politics in his past.

it is fascist nazi terrorislam stupid%u2026.

non muslims of the world unite... fight against the tyranny of the fascist nazi terrorslam imperialist empire of the darkside...

I was a fanatic...I know their thinking, says former radical Islamist
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair's bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.
More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.
