Newt Gingrich: Chameleon or Adapting To Changing Times??
Newt Gingrich, former Republican Speaker of the US House of Representatives seems to be trying to make a comeback….as a Republican ideologically and philosophically speaking as a Democrat.
Last weekend it was reported Gingrich appeared along with several reliable conservative types from the GOP at an occasion held at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. It’s an event promoted as an “entry point into the conservative movement.†Featured guest speakers at theYoung America’s Foundation National Conservative Student Conference included the likes of Robert Novak, Michelle Malkin with weeklong proceedings concluding with a super-de-duper Friday Night Special– a speech given by G. Gordon Liddy.
Those who planned and coordinated the function with discussion groups and panel topics such as “Liberal Bias in School Textbooks,†and “Standing Up to the Left in Hostile Places†got a big surprise when the architect of the “Contract With America” stood up to speak.
After what has been described as a benign beginning with a story about his visit to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, with his grandchildren, Gingrich began to explain how he’d developed some insight into the worth of “not thinking like a Republican.”
From that auspicious, or should we say suspicious, starting point good old Newt went on to speak on topics his audience we are certain found to be totally unexpected
Here are some reported quotes from Newt’s speech:
When refering to the Detroit, Michigan school system statisics which show a young black male is more likely to go to prison than graduate from high school Gingrich said:
“How can we tolerate systems more likely to send young Americans to prison than college? Republicans have this maniacally dumb idea of red versus blue. They say Detroit is a blue place, so we’re not going to go there.”
He’s another pearl of wisdom from Newt. This one without doubt flies in the face of our exalted leader George W. Bush and all his little neo-con toadies:
“Republican political doctrine has been a failure. Look at New Orleans. How can you say that was a success? Look at Baghdad … We’ve been in charge for six years and I don’t think you can look around and say that was a great success. ”
Is there anyone in the White House listening to this guy? He’s the king of understatment!
All we can say is, after speaking like that in public Mr. Gingrich you should probably hire someone to start your car for you.
