This past January, I posted an article that looked at some of the things that influence our decisions about whom we decide (not) to vote for. I encouraged my readers to get past the more frivolous concerns (e.g., how a candidate dresses or a particular personality quirk) and to be fair-minded in assessing each candidate’s […]
Brief rant… On O’Reilly last night, the Talking Points memo included a MoveOn.org video (“Drop the I-Word”) urging people not to use the term “illegal immigrant” anymore. According to the voiceover, “Calling a person illegal takes away their humanity.” Baloney! No one’s questioning their humanity! That claim is victicrat-speak. “It’s racially-charged, legally inaccurate, and morally […]
This one goes back a few years… Back in July 2002, Newt Gingrich and Christopher Hitchens appeared together on an episode of Uncommon Knowledge to discuss how best to define & describe the “War on Terrorism”. Hitch and Newt largely agreed on most things, and they both had some interesting things to say, points well […]
At a Leadership Forum in Pittsburgh, PA, Newt Gingrich addressed members of the National Rifle Association about, not surprisingly, Second Amendment rights. (Shocker, I know!) Towards the beginning, he brought up a very important point about how the Second Amendment is worded. “It talks about the inherent right to bear arms. It doesn’t say the […]
Place: Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, Oklahoma Date: Feb. 20, 2012 Newt hit a lot of the usual topics — e.g., jobs, energy, taxes, Islamist radicals & national security, Obama’s dangerous & irresponsible policies — in this speech, though he did have a few words to say in the beginning about “pursuit of happiness” that I […]
The other day, I was in a brief online exchange with a Facebook friend, Eriku, that I thought y’all might find interesting. A fellow conservative and Newt supporter, Eriku is convinced that President Obama simply can’t win another term. He is very astute (at least, that’s what he keeps telling me (heh!)) and he was […]
Today, we learned that Barack Obama met again with Benjamin Netanyahu, where the President assured the Israeli Prime Minister that the U.S. has Israel’s back, should they decide they need to launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities (though urging him to resist doing so). It’s quite a turnaround from Obama’s previous statements and […]
“There is no judicial supremacy. It does not exist in the American Constitution. Let me be clear: Judicial supremacy is factually wrong; it is morally wrong; and it is an affront to the American system of self-government.” Late last year, Newt Gingrich spoke at the Value Voters Summit, where he addressed the problem of judicial […]
“President Obama has taken us from $1.89 to the most expensive gasoline, on average, that we’ve ever had. They’re still not satisfied.” Today’s video is an address Newt gave earlier this month about “unleashing the American people” and taking advantage of the incredible natural resources we have in this country — both on land and […]
“We intend to change Washington — not accommodate it!” In my efforts this week to get Newt’s ideas & values in front of more people, I have posted here his speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference a few weeks ago. (Fyi, not surprisingly, there is some overlap with the “21st Century Contract with America” […]
