Glenn Beck characterized Newt Gingrich as a big government "progressive" in the Teddy Roosevelt mold during a radio interview. Beck criticized Gingrich for his support for government initiatives to expand healthcare and curb global warming.

It was a label that Gingrich embraced, saying that in the area of healthcare, "I'm a Theodore Roosevelt Republican and I believe government can lean in the regulatory leaning is okay," according to the transcript of the Glenn Beck radio show.

Like you, I believe in a womans right to choose, so long as the unborn baby is armed with a machete, a .45 and 200 rounds of .308 zooming through a piston driven AR platform.

I think a “Doctor who deals in Life” should be present to see what he can do to save both lives after the fight...

Bottom line:
Abortion is murder and the taking of an innocent life.

You are an intellectually hollowed out moron.

“Are they stupid or duplicitous?”

I am going with stupid. Duplicitous would mean there’s a spark of intelligence somewhere. Schemes and plots can’t be hatched without a little brain power!

:)

Anyone with at least one fuctioning brain cell and the slightest bit of a clue would know that singing the praises of any pro-murder hack would bring a swift and merciless zot from Jim.

Kudos, Boss!

“I wouldn’t brag about it on FR if I were you.”

This is the funny part: You warn them, and yet, they continue.

“Arch-Reactionary” ?

From 2001-2008 I was an “Islamophobe” for supporting the War on Terror.

During the ‘08 Popularity Contest, I was a “racist” for daring to question the wisdom of electing a person who wasn’t qualified to run the shake machine at Mickey D’s, let alone become President.

In early 2009, I was then called a “Right Wing Extremist” for not genuflecting to the newly crowned Chairman Obama.

When the Tea Party arrived on the scene, I was then dubbed a “Teabagger” by the most grotesque “woman” on TV.

After the mindless violence in Tuscon, I was called an “antisemite” for defending Sarah Palin’s correct usage of the word “blood libel” when she was mercilessly blamed for the tragedy by the arrogant and lazy press.

During the Madison Warm-up For OWS, I was called a “Koch head”.

When OWS came around, I was then referred to as a “bankster”.

When RuPaul decided to gear up for another failed Presidential run, I was then called a “Zionist war-monger”. (Which, I must admit, is certainly better than being called an “antisemite” since I’m Jewish.)

Now, I’m an “arch-reactionary”.

I think the Authoritarian Left and their buddies (the RINOs and the Paultards) need to have a meeting and come up with ONE lame insult. I can’t keep track of them anymore. This is getting rather tedious.

No one here but us cave-dwelling, bitter clingers of our God, our guns, our constitution, and our liberty, however reactionary or extreme that might seem to some. They can pry my bible and my gun from my cold dead fingers.

The only thing I can add to the above eloquence is this:

NO COMPROMISE! NO RETREAT! NO SURRENDER!

It’s the libs, the RINOs, and the Paultards who are the “extremists”. They’re the problem, not us.

God bless,

Alan

>> Jim: You have become so doctrinaire that FR is no longer a home for thinking conservatives

Yet you submit phrases like,

“I believe that the woman has a right to choose”

“state votes to approve homosexual marriage, so be it”

A conservative thinker does not believe in the capricious right to kill, nor approve the state enforced punitive consequences for those individuals that prefer not to support homosexual rights of passage.

You support things that rob others of their life and liberty. You’re an ignorant fool.

Enjoy your zot.

Have you reviewed the actual work Newt has done both with Pelosi and his K-Street firm?

He was a major lobbying force in getting Obamacare passed...

What kind of person does that?

Certainly not a conservative...

Beck also worships socialist Cong sympathizer...etc...MLK

And hates TR and thinks radical Reconstruction era GOP were peachy

And CRA and other 60s excesses ...were great too

He is a dry drunk neo yankee...no disrespect to good northerners

And his Mormon kinsmenship is showing

I will take philanderer and abrasive but tuff and smart Newt anyday over Beck

Beck is a charlatan to me

of course I just made it all up...

You can find out about Newts lobbying work on Obamacare if you search Newt and The Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare). Pharmaceutical companies paid him boat loads.

How about death panels and good old Newt...check out his relationship with Gundersen Lutheran - huge paying client to get medicare reimbursement for discussing end of life scenarios with patients. Newt’s father died there in 2006. Gee didn’t Newt say he was appalled by death panels but he was happy to lobby for them!!!

BTW...read the 411 bills that Gingrich co-sponsored with Pelosi - not very conservative these bills I tell ya! You can start with the Library of Congress THOMAS database to find the bills. The accurate number is 418 bills - its not hysterical at all...its pathetic!!!

Also he was a huge lobbyist for Freddie Mac...over $37 million there.
