Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Me too. I know I'll enjoy it. Newt's a genious.

You know, one of the many good and blessed things that may result from the election of a black pope may be an awakening of sorts in the black community. Actually, they're already awake, but many aren't acting on it politcally, even if they are starting to act on it in their community.

A black spiritual leader, even if he is of a different demonimation that they are, can resonate with them. We can move some of them away from the extremism on the left.

It sure is nice and refreshing to hear AN ACTUAL CONSERVATIVE VOICE now and then -- to say the least. If Newt could lead from a TRULY CONSERVATIVE position, this country would benefit greatly from it -- in fact, IT NEEDS TO BE SAVED FROM DESTRUCTIVE LIBERALISM, which the present so-called Repubs have no interest in doing.

Bump for later read, dittos!

Rush and Newt - such wonderful analysts and torch bearers.

Wish we had more access to the thoughts of Newt and wish the GOP listened to him more.

[Valin]

Bum for later.

One thing I like about Newt is he has more ideas waiting for the toast to pop up than most people have all day. Now most of them are wacky or never gonna happen, still ya gotta love a guy who keeps thinking all the time.

[sasafras]

Im with you - Newt/Tancredo in 08!

I like ol' Newtie, but he will never be our POTUS.
Although in 3 1/2 yrs I wouldn't mind if he had a position within George Allen's administration.

[Tolik]

Ain't gonna happen, but I'd vote for them.

Newt makes a lot of good points here.

One of the Republicans' major problems is they don't know how to define the argument, let alone win it. It has seemed to me for a while now that they are fearful of even educating the American public about conservative solutions to problems because they would rather preserve the status quo (and their own power) than risk political capital. The GOP will never successfully advance conservatism until they readjust this attitude.

This what I was going on about last month (Long read but well worth it!)Note new tag line.Thanks for posting Tolik!

"I like ol' Newtie, but he will never be our POTUS."

We have a governor who is an immigrant. We have a former secretary of state whose parents came here from the West Indies. Go down the list. We had another former secretary of state who came here from Germany in the Second World War. We have Nobel Prize winners who came from all over the planet. We want to be a country that is open to legal immigration, and I think we want to be a country that is open to legal temporary workers. But we want to have a couple requirements. First, we have to have a biometric, which means either an iris scan or a thumbprint, so we know who people entering our country really are, and so we can track them. Second, immigrants have to commit to obey our laws, to pay our taxes, to be involved as honest people. And we have the right to deport them in 72 hours if they break these rules.

Go Newt.

Great read.
