We know nothing of 0bama’s actual conduct on a personal basis—his girlfriends, boyfriends, whatever. No one assails him for anything person, and should they, pit vipers drop like rain and hyenas drool around anyone who says anything. Yet, about Newt’s well-documented and personally lamentable past, we have every detail well worn like an old, tattered children’s book.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. No more, “Oh, I just can’t vote for someone who.....’X,’ ‘Y,’ ‘Z.’ Who are you wanting as President, a person who is happy to tell you it’s OK to let a child born of abortion die on a pile of garbage? Someone who is more than content to rake over the laws of this nation in order to abscond with its national treasure?

You go to the meeting of the venerable GOPers and you tell them there that our sons and daughters are theirs no more. This country is worth saving from their noblesse oblige and pronounced insiders carting off with the last of what’s left of it. Gettysburg’s spot to announce Santorum’s departure is as apt, not as the speech named after it, but rather, as the high water mark of Northern advancement by the South during the Civil War. The thousands who died there were brothers; the thousands of our servicemen deserve someone in the White House who will not gut them even more than they have been, putative ‘brothers’ though they may be.

Santorum left to spend time with his daughter. All right. But there are sons and daughters of our servicemen, our forefathers, whose burden will never end, thanks to those who smile and steal, smile and steal. We need someone who knows the trenches of DC and can blow the festering stink off it with a well-timed, Constitutional bat of an eyelash. That man is Newt.

It is Newt that has not surrendered. Only Newt. No one else is left to fight the near Neroesque pathology that says one thing and does another. No one. But one man remains, tired and haggard, who stands against the odds.

He should not stand alone, were we true patriots, to add more than four score years to this fragile nation’s history. Do not our forefathers deserve something more for the ankle-deep blood they fought through? Or must they sleep silently, entombed in the Arizona, now become not only a battleship of record, a state of tension, a foreshadowing of a nation’s heirs who lie waiting to see if we do indeed have grit?

Vain smiles and money aplenty will not sway the scales of what has become a grand injustice. History will not be kind to those who look the other way. In fact, there is NO other way to look than to Newt Gingrich.
