Oh, no! No, no, no no! Americans understand it, and quite well, too.
They just need a leader to say it like it is!

Yup. The NEA has accomplished its mission: to create a generation of idiots.

Thanks TBBT.
Gingrich described the America many feel will be just a memory if President Barack Obama wins another term and articulated why the preservation of that America should never be taken for granted and how Americans should be proactive in ensuring their children and grandchildren inherit an American with gritty, Jacksonian values not unlike the one they inherited. "Countries can die," Gingrich powerfully said, referring to a lesson he learned while his father was stationed overseas. "And Leadership can make an enormous difference." ...noted that he grew up surrounded "by people who were passionate about America" who loved America because "they did not have that much economically" and was raised by a grandmother who was from a generation that instilled in him a belief that "George Washington was a heroic figure and the founding fathers led remarkable lives. We didn't think we were poor... We were Americans, and therefore we were rich, we had freedoms and a sense of safety... American dream is to recognize first that we exist under our Creator with unalienable rights" and, therefore, "no president, judge, or bureaucrat can take away our rights."

It was beautifully said.
Have not heard this kind of message in a long time.

If Gingrich can drop the negative attacks and go back to talking like this, I think he could still pull this out.

THATS THE NEWT GINGRICH I WANT TO SEE IN THE REMAINING DEBATES. THATS THE NEWT GINGRICH I REMEMBER.
THATS WHAT AMERICA WANTS TO HEAR, THEY NEED TO HEAR THIS, some for the first time perhaps.
PREACH IT NEWT.

What ever faults Newt Gingrinch may have, this video makes clear that he “gets” it - he understands and respects what those of us who love our country are trying to preserve.

Too bad the American electorate is too stupid to understand any of this.I would not say all, but a substantial number of Americans do not understand the political/economic system that makes it possible for them to thrive, and all that is needed is a majority of Americans to ruin it for everyone. I, myself, don't have a lot of faith in the American electorate.

“Yup. The NEA has accomplished its mission: to create a generation of idiots” Right the only smart people are those that only a bloated geezer can beat O. He will need to get more than the over 60 vote to win this. That will be a huge challenge. Just what the younger folks like , an ehticlyy challenged has been who had to resign from congress. This guy is a lifer who time has passed by desperately clinging to visions of relevency .

They not only need a leader to say “all the good things” (we’ve already got one of those in the White House), they need a leader who LIVES IT every day and doesn’t run the ball for the other team during his down time.

Too bad the American electorate is too stupid to understand any of this. Too bad Newt is too undisciplined to maintain a consistent message, or stay positive and avoid petty attacks., as he did so well last November.

Maybe. I think I'm just upset right now with the media + establishment doing everything they can to distort and destroy this message. And I don't know if there's sufficient countervailing force to overcome this. You have large tracts of idiotic Romney voters out there who would think, "wut
Newt said countries can die?! LOL, he's so zany!!" This is the kind of insipid thinking most voters have been reduced to.

Some did. I think most were just frustrated (rightfully so), and voting contrarian.

I've watched quite a few of his speeches and debate performances over this elections cycle, and he's been extremely consistent IMO.
