Maybe I didn't word that right...I am agreeing with you...our country is vastly different then when Reagan was Pres..... 9/11 changed everything in everyway from that day forward.....it will never be the Reagan days again for that. Then Obama comes into power and took us to places, and continues to, that make us all feel like strangers in our own country!

If I wanted to live a European or Communist/Socialist/Fascist lifestyle I would have moved to a country as that.....and so should all those who support Obama....instead of trying to change this nation....they need to go.

There is no compromise when it comes to Life...none. I’m not connecting myself with anyone that does not believe in life 100%. Gingrich has shown he is less than a staunch advocate of life.

I’m still looking into Newt; what I don’t understand is why people, conservatives, are willing to give a pass to Gingrich. He has shown himself as a compromiser on basic issues but what is disturbing is how many conservatives accept that and ignore the evidence.

No Compromise! Period

They tried something similar in Iowa. I assume it’s on the gun grabbers coordinated effort to ban self defense tools.

Newt is well thought of by the NRA...however, this group GOA’s are Ron Paul supporters and have even attacked the NRA. Some consider the GOA on the radical side

I don’t much care what positions someone might have taken on guns, 15 or 20 years ago.

Provided that he’d come out since, admitted he was wrong, and taken correct positions.

Has Newt changed his position?

In 2011, Newt said: “The right to bear arms is not about hunting. It’s not about target practice ... The right to bear arms is a political right designed to safeguard freedom so that no government can take away from you the rights that God has given you, and it was written by people who had spent their lifetime fighting the greatest empire in the world and they knew that if they had not had the right to bear arms, they would have been enslaved. And they did not want us to be enslaved. And that is why they guaranteed us the right to protect ourselves. It is a political right of the deepest importance to the survival of freedom in America.”

Which certainly sounds like he’s changed his position - at least rhetorically. The question is, is he lying?

Even if it means giving Zero a couple more pro-abort Supreme Court nominations?
