Gingrich: GOP Will Take House and Senate from ‘Radical’ Democrats

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich — who bounded onto the CPAC stage to the strains of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” — predicted that the GOP will seize control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. That was the headline-grabbing bit of his bombastic, 30-minute speech, which touched on topics as varied as the works of Albert Camus, old anti-Soviet slogans, Gordon Wood’s definition of “corruption,” and Minnesota’s ability to balance the budget.

“Please note,” tweeted Tim Cameron of Gingrich’s group American Solutions. “Newt Gingrich doesn’t need a teleprompter.”

Other speeches by the politicians on CPAC’s presidential straw poll* were far more obviously partisan. Gingrich did have booster-ish zingers, crediting Obama with creating the jobs of Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.), Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-Va.), and Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) and crediting Mitt Romney with creating more jobs than the Democrats. The first statement was cant — the second was a cutting remark that underscored why, exactly, a man who left the speaker’s chair in disgrace 12 years ago could speak so confidently about how his party was ready to govern again. He framed his prescription for Republicans — “bipartisanship” that demanded parity, right now with the majority party — as a good faith effort to save Democrats from themselves.

“We can’t go on recess,” he said.

The Democratic Party that Gingrich saw in Washington resembled the one that Glenn Beck rails against on his Fox News show — a “radical” and “corrupt” project antithetical to America’s institutions and history. Multiple speakers have compared the administration to the Soviet Union; Gingrich did so more subtly, explaining that the Soviets tried to convince their subjects that “2+2=5,” and so did the Democrats.

Before the speech, I asked a few attendees what they thought of Gingrich. Did they forgive him for endorsing Dede Scozzafava in NY-23? Sure, said University of Alabama student Alexandra Brown — “He’s Newt Gingrich.” But Ohio activist Marie Heinig told me she’d ruled out Gingrich as a conservative leader because of the “immorality” with which he conducted his personal life.

CONSEQUENCES OF EMPIRE IN DECLINE

[Reconstruction Political Gerrymandering]

Now, we spent the last two days on (http://www.americanprogressaction.org), blogging on the Matthew Yglesias, site, a [SUPERIOR SITE], and this is not meant to be a hit job we’re not Anthony come to bury Caesar, but that being said, he’s a far-Far-FAR-Left, Democratic Nelson Mandela/John Brown Abolitionist Socialist Activist Thinker, just to keep in touch with what, the Far-Left is thinking, now we seldom go on the Far-Right sites we pretty much worked as a hired mercenary for them all our lives, Marine Corp. Gen. Chesty Puller always said, the military were Wall St., enforcers, and that hit the nail on the head. And, Yglesias is a very bright individual and has thinking in line with that of Nelson Mandela, the concept that the transition from a North American Continent, of Anglo-Saxon based Heritage to one of a Black/Negro Based African Heritage, can be done thru peaceful political means, and much as with Mandela the road to Hell is paved with good intentions and has targeted the Confederate States of Mississippi and Alabama, for a [21st] Twenty-First Century re-creation of the [19th] Nineteenth Century Post War of Secession [1865] Reconstruction Era Period, using a new [21st] Century, Gerrymandering System, with the intent of, placing as in [1865], more Black/Negro faces into State thru Federal government.

[White Man’s Burden/Black Man’s Revenge]

But, that being said we found that Yglesias, while having the best of intentions, and the best laid plans of mice and men often, go astray, has followers much as Mandela’s, who have far less noble one’s as the Confederate States [19th] Century White Mans Burden, is seen more in view as an opportunity for Black revenge of the [21st] Century with Mississippi the top of the hit list with Alabama a close [2nd] Second. This would all seem like a bad dream or a badly made movie if it wasn’t for real. It’s stopped being about good government and more about some Zeitgeist in reverse, a skin pigmentation based Social Agenda, the oppressed must now be given rule, its much like the French Revolution, with Madam Guillotine and citizen mob ruling of France, now this may not be the intended out come, that Matt Yglesias envisions but his followers seem to have a vengeance is justified mine set, as much as the continued retribution served upon Germany over the last [65] Sixty-Five year, of Political house cleaning, Para-Military/Military/Police, occupation of some form and Economic repression, with reparations paid to the State of Israel, too now be wrought upon former Confederate States.

[Capitalist/Socialist Democratic]

Now, we seem to have developed a split in the Democratic Party, now made up of [2] two types of Democratic, Capitalist and Socialist;

[THE CAPITALIST DEMOCRATIC]: The Capitalist Democratic are like Ronnie Reagan, he didn’t leave the party the party left him, and then he became a Republican. Well, it seems the Capitalist Democratic are pretty much like Ronnie Reagan, they didn’t leave the party, the party, left, Left, LEFT, them, and the boys were left out in the cold, they were not Socialist Democratic, and they weren’t Republican, so what to do, not seek re-election, they haven’t got a political party that they can support, the [18th] Century government The United States of America doesn’t exist, having been replaced by the [21st] Century, American-Israeli Empire.

[THE SOCIALIST DEMOCRATIC]: The American-Israeli Empire, far-Far-FAR-Left, Democratic Nelson Mandela/John Brown Abolitionist Socialist Activists, the My Way Or The Highway, Socialist, they hate, Hate, HATE, Tea-baggers and Republican’s, the white establishment, the White Devils, thinking in line with [Malcome-X/El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz], and Black Muslim leader Lewis Farakhan, and they have a lexicon of foul words used by Sailor’s and is not meant for civilized society, used upon those who’s comment’s don’t fix into the thinking of their blogging community, and will tell you to just leave their blogging community. There goal is one of retribution, much as occurred in The Union of South Africa, which became a blood bath, which ended up in the breaking up of the country, and return to a [3rd] third world status.

[The Consequences of Empire in Decline]

Now, the whole great social experimentation started in [1776] was never going to work anyway, as was said on [1] One episode of Inspector Lewis All Men Are Created Equal and how did that work out for you, to an American Tourist, one can only guess how this is going to work out as the [18th] Century United States of America Social experiment comes too a close, as a [21st] Century American-Israeli Empire, as an intellectually, financially, morally bankrupt, militarily weak, ungovernable, unfixable, unsustainable, Empire, governed by of an oligarchy of jaded pros, permanent residents locked in the Beltway whose only movement is from Pennsylvania Avenue, when they're in office, to [K] Street, when they're out — & back. We would suggest, much as the Union of South Africa, in blood-shed, and the breaking up forming New Republic and a new map of the North American Continent;

* The Republic of Alaska

* America [The Confederate States/The United States]

* The Republic of California

* Republic of Cascadia” [Northwestern separatists envision a "Republic of Cascadia" carved out of Oregon, Washington and the Canadian province of British Columbia.]

* The Republic of Hawaii

* The Republic of Texas

* The Republic of Vermont carved out of [The New York Adirondacks, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, New Hampshire.]

And, all this in the mist of a War of Economic Stimulus on the Islamic Crescent/Arabian Peninsula/Hindu Cush, as [NATO] The North Atlantic Treaty Organization falls apart, and the Empire of Japan demands ending of Empires, Far-Eastern [FOOTHOLD] established in Japan, with the replacement of the [$] Dollar as the World’s Base Currency, while living off the [PRC] Peoples Republic of China’s Credit unwilling too be dictated to by a debtor Empire in decline, printing [$] Dollars as fast as they can be printed, with a government in Grid-lock, The Consequences of Empire in Decline.

Knowing that Americans vote like chicken for KFC, Gingrich is probably right. Sad but true, Americans (as politically assinine as they are) generally and with ape-like agility vote against their self-interest no matter what.
Eight years of Bush landed them into the crapper and yet they seem to want to return to that. They deserve it.

In response to the previously posted entry by an individual calling himself triathlon; After reading your carefully crafted post and your projections for the future of an “empire in decline” i can only concur with your vision to the future landscape of what once was The United States Of America and its borders to the north. my only concern with your beautiful vision is this… How far south can one mans head be up his own ass?

LOOKING AT THE LANDSCAPE CASEY CHAPMAN

Without using your deregatory inflamatory language, the question is looking at the landscape what do you see?

* Each and every American Citizens owes over [$80K] Eighty-Thousand Dollar's per person from birth to death and that's not counting the interest on a growing national debt to the [PRC] Peoples Republic of China.

* The Media Messiah Imperial President wants to tax you with a forced mandate that you must have health insurance, there are business concerns that can't afford to offer health insurance, so just how are individuals citizens going to pay for it? It should be up to the individual if they want it or are willing to hope for the best.

* Do you trust a govenment that is in grid lock to run a health program, do you really trust government to run your life?

* How many of the [NATO/EU] countries to continue to support the Empire after the [4th] of July [2010] when the government shuts down and campaigning for their return to government begins.

Looking at the landscape, how do you see it all layed out by 1st May [2010], it's easy to simple in typical Democratic language take head shots, but another to lay out what you see, what you think will be the steps and path to a different outcome as presented.

What do you see in One Year, Five Year, or Ten Years down the road, or do you just watch television and say well Big Brother knows what he's doing.

Democraps suck, they just want to bleed the American People, what good have they done for our Society, name just a few. Misconception of Civil Rights, that came from the Right, not the left. Abraham Lincoln a Republican. Read your history. The reason why the country went to the crapper, was not Bush. It was the Government under clinton, that forced banks with the ” feet on the necks” forcing private business to lend money out to people who should never have qualified for freakin snickers bar, let alone a homes. It is the Government that breaks things, then it is the Government that wants to be able to fix what they broke. Look at history, They constantly break things, but mostly under the Democrats in Charge.
