I wonder what has happened to this forum ? Are all of these ad hominen/personal attacks on Ann deserved? I don’t think I’ve read comment that dealt with any of the specific points she made in the article and like usual her command of reasoned argument and historical perspective is impressive and insightful (as well as a fearful prospect to those have nothing to say but cowardly personal attacks).
“I don’t think I’ve read comment that dealt with any of the specific points she made in the article.....”
She lost with many of us the second she came out for Romney. Any “point” she may now try to make is going to fall on deaf ears.
It is both telling and disappointing that you don’t see that.
Oh, you can take your “cowardly” comment and stuff it.
I agree. Nobody is offering anything to dispute the facts she is presenting. If Gingrich has described himself as the “definer of civilization, teacher of the rules of civilization, arouser of those who fan civilization, organizer of the pro-civilization activists, leader (possibly) of the civilizing forces,” as she claims, he’s got a screw loose. He’s already been described by a commentator on a PBS discussion show as “emotionally unstable.” I’d say he’s also a megalomaniac. He seems to lack a sense of humor and he takes himself and his ideas far too seriously.
It’s unfortunate that FreeRepublic has become a Gingrich echo chamber.
