Conservative intellectual and practitioner of smiley-faced fascism Newt Gingrich projects his thoughts into the president, Says Comparing Obama Administration To Nazi Threat Is ‘Pretty Reasoned And Compelling’
Gingrich fails to mention that is was Franklin Roosevelt, a liberal president and more liberal than Obama, defeated the Nazis and it was liberal policies of containment that defeated the Soviet Empire. What great enemy of the U.S. has Newt and his fellow conservative draft evaders defeated? Obama saved Wall St and capitalism - that is an awfully strange thing for a socialist to do. Newt's sick and distorted world view has been embraced by many "conservatives".
Newt Gingrich has made headlines recently by writing in his new book, To Save America, that the Obama administration’s “secular socialist machine” represents “as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.” Even Fox News hosts have questioned whether Newt went a bit too far with the comparison.
...GINGRICH: No. Because I’m not talking about moral equivalence of the people, I’m talking about the end result. If the Nazis had defeated us, then America as we know it would have disappeared. If the Soviet Union had defeated us, the America as we know it would have disappeared. I argue in this book — and I think it’s a pretty reasoned and compelling argument — that the fact is, the values of a secular socialist movement are antithetical — and you hear from President Obama all the time. … The secular socialist left doesn’t want God anywhere in public life and doesn’t want to acknowledge God anywhere in public life.
Of course, Gingrich never provides any actual evidence of this alleged “threat.” And it’s unclear exactly what Gingrich is hearing from the President “all the time,” but it certainly isn’t anything about taking God out of public life or turning America into a socialist state. In fact, Obama (and the Vice President, the House Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader) regularly refers to God in public statements and speeches. The Obama administration is even appealing a court decision that found the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional.
An editor from the National Review noted to the former Speaker that swaths of Christian and religious leaders actually supported the President’s health care reform plan — what Gingrich has linked to socialism — but he brushed this fact aside, claiming they were just a bunch of socialists.
The Fox News Witch Hunt Against Asst. Secretary Of State Posner Continues
Yesterday, I reported on Fox News’ latest witch hunt for an Obama administration official: Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner. Just as they did with Van Jones before him, Fox News has taken a soundbite from Posner, twisted its meaning into something he never meant and then foamed at the mouth that he must be anti-American.Would Fox's "evidence' against anyone hold up under unbiased scrutiny. No, That is why they have their regular trials conducted via sound bites and smears. They have all the honor of witch burners and authoritarians that seek ideological purity at any cost. Sleaze bags propagandist like that do not get to decide what is UnAmerican.
