I don't pay attention to day to day politics at all , but just today I heard Gingrich for the first time in years and fell in love with him again. He's a real revolutionary, as he says, and intellectual. I recall him before he was speaker giving speeches to an empty chamber of the House for C-Span. He believes in ideas and persuasion and debate and is so natural and at ease as he destroys liberals. They hit him with everything today and he was better than Buckley. He all but said we need guns to protect ourselves from Democrats. He wants ghetto kids to be janitors not drug dealers, and he wants treasonous judges to explain themselves in public rather than hide behind their robes. He was polite, measured, and relaxed but his absolute awareness of the pure idiocy in liberalism was obvious.
Bachman and Santorum have the right positions but not one tiny bit of ability to inspire or persuade anyone of anything. Yes, Buckley said, the most conservative who can win and maybe Newt can't but no man alive is better prepared to set the stage for a broad scale conservative victory in the future, just like he did by taking back the House for the first time in 40 years and then falling only one vote short in the Senate of passing a revolutionary Balanced Budget Amendment that would have kept us $15 trillion out of debt. He said, in effect, this is war worth fighting now, not some BS game between Team A and Team B with no real significance.
George Washington could have played safe and gone for incremental change against England but at a certain point he preferred principle and war to safety and incrementalism, thank God. Obama is the most left wing anti-American president ever so there may never be a better time to rally the troops for war, a war with Newt as the general in charge
