The truth about Gingrich.

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/gingrich-flashback-progressive-fdr-was-greatest-president-of-the-20th-century-plus-seius-andy-stern-is-visionary-union-leader/

He is the biggest fraud we have ever seen in Politics.

It is no wonder the GOP has decided to make it a Romney/Gingrich race...both choices doom the country!!!

“show me where in the constitution we are the policemen of the world? “

Nowhere. However, we tried to be isolationist in the 1930’s. How did that experiment work out?

Unfortunately, world is evil place, and bad things will happen to the US, if we don’t protect ourselves. If we don’t eliminate the threat of Taleban, Iran or AQ (or Japan/Germany in the past), they will eventually kill us in the US.

I like being alive, compared being dead. I prefer US government to keep threats in check.

What would have happened if we did not join WWII? The Russians were kicking the stuffing out of Germany and logistically they were already losing. Japan? Amazing fighters but until Roosevelt provoked them by blockade, that war was not ours.

Keep threats in check? We dont even keep our borders in check. The Patriot Act is not about protecting our country, it is about controlling our citizens. We are walking towards Leftist Totalitarian Fascism. And the pace has quickened.

I’m certainly not a Newt fan, but BHO is actually the biggest fraud we have ever seen. Newt’s background is well known, while BHO’s is still 95% hidden from everyone!

Point is all progressives are frauds....with their roots with the Fabian Socialists...their coat of arms if you will features a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

An important lesson to learn.

AND a moot lesson also! BHO is the epitomy of the Fabian socialists by trying to spend us out of the recession, whereas Newt is not. Kinda seems like you are making up excuses to beat up on Newt and have run out of facts in the process!

JC Gingrich has admitted to be a progressive. When asked who are the greatest presidents...Newt responds with Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and FDR...NOT EVEN REAGAN!!!

Newt channels the trifecta of evil progressives. He did push the Reagan revolution but that was only so he could increase his own power. Remember the sheep in wolves clothing.

Make no mistake Gingrich is just as dangerous and just as much an ideologue as BHO - don’t get caught up in the oh I could accept some of things Gingrich does game - he is still a progressive and at the end of the day we don’t end up remaining FREE.

And exactly when did I run out of facts? LOL...you just need to listen to Newt in his own words and review his record at the Library of Congress. Sounds more like you don’t want to exert the effort to do your own homework - not like this election is of consequence or something!

Ron Paul was an Air Force Captain. Amazing how that rarely gets mentioned.

He was Captain in the Medical Corps, which is very different, especially for doctors, from the combat units. I don’t imagine that much changed since the ‘70s. I believe that as soon as you graduate Medical School, you get to be Capt. As soon as you finish residency or after 3 years or so, you get promoted to Major.

Defense has changed in the last 230 years. Airplanes (9-11 is not the only danger of airplanes), missiles, one day to every place on earth, un-manned vehicles, etc.

We must protect ourselves, even if it means going to the enemy. It’s even better if we can keep the enemy fighting on his own territory.

That's very mush because the RUN Paultards think that they can get their cult leader into the race by swarming the polls and busing people in to make it look like Paul is actually a contender.

It's nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Period. Looking at all the national polls, Paul runs in the single digits and will never win no matter how you try to propagandize it.

Paul is a kook, America understands that, and he is only taking valuable votes away from the real ability to fix this country. God help all of us if what you are saying is actually true and he wins the election. If that were to happen, the damage would be worse than what Obama inflicted on us. But most of us know better than that and you will never convince us that this bull crap is actually true.

Look dufus, of course you are too ignorant to notice that Gingrich is not at all a part of the GOP. It was the GOP who threw him under the bus in ‘94. Newt is the most “outsider” kind of candidate we have had in the race since Reagan.

Oh I forgot Paul is also an “Outsider” as in completely “outside” rationale and reality!
