It has taken the better part of a century of massive Liberalism in this country to get us where we are today. We need a center right agenda and at least several decades to get us back on track. Newt would start to get us back on track. Bachman would get us back on track, Perry would start to get us back on track, so would Cain. Romney would be the least effective of the field at returning us to a more Constitutional based Federal Government.
Newt knows DC and he knows how to move legislation. He would be fine. What we can not afford is another four years of the nightmare we are living now.
Lots of people, including those here on FR, tend to believe that the natural state of man and society is that of freedom. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are now on the precipice of falling into tyranny, Obama would love to further erode our liberties. Newt would move us away from the brink, as would most of the Republican field.
Make no mistake, ALL our candidates will be blasted by the mainstream media and many on the right. S.E. is a little more boobs than brains, somewhat right and mostly wrong on what she perceives to be the best course. Two debates with Newt and Obama is toast. If he is able to jawbone Obama into seven Lincoln/Douglas style debates Obama will be buried in a land slide. Now is not the time to beet ourselves. It is time to push forward and defeat Obama, before it is too late.
Good ‘common sense’ post. Thanks.
Yeah, I guess. As much as I abhor this development with Newt, there is no perfect candidate. We just better accept this fact to be true about each one of these Republican candidates.
Newt could also just be plainly playing politics to garner some portion of the hispanic vote.
I would love it if Newt took on the 14th amendment. That is the problem, though nobody wants to bring it up/deal with it. Newt, just may be the man to do it.
It's still early in the game...but Newt is looking better and better to me.
I would rather plunge head first into tyranny than “skirt the edge” for eternity.
F—K that sh—. If its gotta get worse before people people feel the heat, gain some fight and cast off their inhibitions to cracking skulls. Fine! At least there is HOPE that we gain our freedom. But to be stuck in an endless purgatory of back and forth on the edge of tyranny is UNACCEPTABLE and IMMORAL! People will remain clueless sheep until everything simply decays.
If we want to be free from tyranny and or the infinite threat of tyranny, We have to meet it and defeat it in a way that humans have defeated tyranny since the beginning of time. Working with it, and accepting aspects of it as a position of “moderation” to slowly turn the tide is nothing more than a lullaby. Ask any smoker who tried to quit smoking by just cutting down on the number of smokes they had a day or switching to light’s... Doesn’t F’ing work, Just like doing less cocaine from time to time wont help you break the addiction. We have to STOP COLD F’ing TURKEY. Its up to us to have the will to do so.
Newt, Romney, and all other rino’s are just “cocaine light” or light cigarettes. They are a false choice... They are NO CHOICE.... Ultimately, they are invested “heart and mind” into securing the safety of this socialist nation.
We need people in the fedgov who are going to subvert it, cripple it, STOP IT... While we gain strength in the states and prepare to wield those states as weapons against the socialist Leviathan in the fight for our freedom from the tyranny of the socialist bastards and their ignorant horde of zombies.
If Newt were to get his Master Amnesty Plan we, the Taxpayer, will be taxed more paying for the entitlements these folks will want as US Citizens, plus teaching them English and putting them on 2 years of unemployment.
Excellent post, Jim.
