Beck Can Hardly Believe That Gingrich Actually Calls Himself a ‘Realpolitik Wilsonian’

Below is a clip of former House Speaker and GOP presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich, in which he dubs himself a “Realpolitik Wilsonian.”
Yes, that comment caught a number of people by surprise. Namely, Glenn Beck.
During his radio broadcast Tuesday, Glenn expressed disbelief over Gingrich’s revelation and Pat even went so far as to suggest Gingrich might have confused Woodrow Wilson for 21st century comedic actor Luke Wilson.
Glenn noted Gingrich’s self-professed admiration for progressive presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Theordore Roosevelt, not to mention his public praise of SEIU head Andy Stern, as the antithesis to being a Wilsonian.
Glenn, who spent most of the segment in hysterics over what he believes to be Gingirch’s absurd moniker, said thanks but “no thanks.”
Watch Glenn and his crew deliver Gingrich some tough criticism below:

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 8:52pmI remember being a young conservative and the world was divided up between liberals and conservatives. the term Progressive didn’t mean much to me. Back then all I thought about Wilson was that he was the guy who got us into WWI and tried to get us into the League of Nations. I knew nothing of his domestic policies. That was never the focus of history (I wonder why) so my estimation of him was simply that he was too naive about international politics, too idealistic. I shared what I perceived was a commitment to fight the spread of tyranny and to defend democracy but I parted with him on the foolishness of the League of Nations because it showed itself to be a toothless tiger and a creator of greate problems tan it solved. I imagine this was largely what Newt was refering to. he was a Wilsonian in being an interventionist in foreign policy but with a Realpolitic, that is a realistic, appraisal of what could be accomplished.
Now that I have matured in my conservatism I have seen that the problems with Wilsonianism go much deeper than the League of Nations and that WWI was a mistake of the first order from the very beginning. Gringrich should have known better, but as a keen student of history myself I have learned that even historians have blind spots in history. They don’t read everything and often swallow the same falsehoods as everyone else in areas outside their studies. I don’t hold Newt guilty for every foolish idea of his past.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 9:14pm@Isleoffordan, Interesting post and very timely. It is nice to see a voice of reason seasoned with some perspective and sanity. Perhaps it is a sign of the times; the age of “Right Now”, instant gratification and everything is urgent, but no-one seems willing to move forward in increments any more. Compromise is now a dirty word.
As a student of history, I know you remember when conservatism and the GOP were a very small minority. We have come a long way. A few steps forward and a few back. But all in all, we are moving the ball and changing minds a little at a time. I think this country can recover from our financial mess and international craziness. It doesn’t take all of this brinksmanship and fear mongering all of the time. Lessons are being learned , albeit slowly.

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 9:29pmWinston Churchill remarks in his memoirs that he was visiting the US during the stock market crash that led to the great depression. He said that the head of the Federal Reserve Bank while they were observing the panic of the stock market said to him “see what power we have”.
The panic was caused by the closing of the short term loan window at the Federal Reserve. When company A needs to pay company C with money they expect from company B, and B does not pay on time, they borrow it from the short term load window at the Fed.
Closing that mechanism caused a domino effect that led to the panic.
And who do we have to thank for the Federal Reserve, Wilson and the Dems.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 10:44pmContext, context, context, it matters as to the statement one makes not just references one relates to help people understand an idea or belief. We can’t freak out any time a person uses a phrase, in this video clip for example Realpolitik and Wilsonian would be at heads as Christian and Sinner or Capitalist and Charity but yet they all seem to fit together. Newt like all intellectuals like to make obscure points of reference.
I believe reaching the right answer is more valuable than how we get to it. Some people believe they were born with the right answers rather than working their way to the right answer.
I‘ve heard some say we don’t need the police they can handle justice.
I’ve also heard some say people should have the right to refuse service if they do not like a person, race or belief of a group.
I’ve recently have heard that we should just turn our back on the world and treat all nations as equals, No that was not Obama but Ron Paul.
I’ve never thought abortion was a good thing but forcing a woman to give birth to the child of rapist or an incestuous rapist. Nor make it a crime when a woman‘s life is really in the balance and I don’t mean a hang nail or discomfort but real life ending threat.

Rick Buckley, who is the president of the radio station group that most recently dumped Beck blames the host’s shift towards religion for his ratings decline. Buckley said, “In the last six months or so, he has tended to be more and more taking a religious point of view … It didn’t do well here in the east. It has not gotten real traction. If you want a religious point of view, we’ve got plenty of religious stations. You can get it 24/7.”

“The panic was caused by the closing of the short term loan window at the Federal Reserve.”
This is true as far as it goes, but what you must realize is that whether the Federal Reserve was responsible for stopping the credit, or whether the market itself would have stopped the credit in the form of a domino effect of defaults, the whole reason a crash is even possible is because it is in the very nature of artificial credit expansion to misallocate resources toward inherently unsustainable investments.
The bubble is the mistake; The crash is the correction. Only when interest rates become based on actual savings, rather than government force or increases in the money supply, can investments be sustainable.

I think he is wrong for not supporting Ron Paul. Ron Paul is the only one on the stage that has ANY of the 9/12 principals and chacteristics in evidence before this presidential campaign season. I know he keeps saying that he has issues with Ron’s foriegn policy but he never goes into detail about why? and in comparison how is it worse than someone that can’t get the facts strait without handlers (so that they don’t look like incompetent idiots) like the candidates he keeps talking about.
Ron Paul could most likely recite the preamble and the constitution without any reference material or teleprompter, to include the bill of rights. I guarantee that whatever his foriegn policy ends up looking like, IT WILL BE CONSTITUTIONAL and legal by congress. FOr a fact he was praised by the isreali officials for his foreign policy stance recently, Whats up with that? Why didn’t Beck pick up on that?

I think that Newt understands we need a 180 degree turn.

None of the Great Powers involved wanted to get involved in a world war (the Kaiser was up for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1914!), but due to a seemingly inevitable series of events they got dragged into it. Dance of the Furies by Neiberg is an outstanding analysis of the pre-war state of affairs, and how exactly the war started (http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Furies-Europe-Outbreak-World/dp/0674049543). It’s not what your history textbook told you.
America’s entrance into WWI allowed us to end a terrible conflict overseas, and won America a bigger place on the world stage. It’s hard to categorize our involvement as a mistake, even though I would agree with you (and most people agree with you) that Wilson was an idealist, whose 14 Points were basically laughed at by Clemenceau and George.

Newt appeared in a PSA with Nancy Pelosi, paid for by the Alliance for Climate Protection, which was founded by Al Gore. In that PSA, he said things like: “We do agree, our country must take action to address climate change,“ and ”if enough of us demand action from our leaders, we can spark the innovation we need.”
Newt was a big supporter of mandated health insurance long before Obamacare was passed.
Newt has accepted hefty consulting fees from mortgage giant Freddie Mac. Is he hypocritical? Freddie Mac is a cancer on society. Newt received $30,000-a-month from Freddie Mac until September 2008 when the U.S. Treasury took control of the government-sponsored entity.
House Ethics Committee special counsel recommended that Newt be reprimanded by the full House and pay a $300,000 fine for violating House rules in 1997. The first time in the House’s 208-year history it has disciplined a speaker for ethical wrongdoing. He broke rules by failing to ensure that financing for two projects would not violate federal tax law and by giving the House ethics committee false information.

Report Post »As for Beck’s commentary, I‘m tempted to ’not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.’
After all, politics is by nature a process of concession. I have trouble believing that Newt is this terrible candidate when his actions in office speak otherwise. Granted, he may have said some things that might make conservatives like myself uncomfortable. Welcome to politics, number 3,345,908. Glad you decided to join in.
Beck (who I very much respect and typically agree with) is waging this war on Newt based on… What? The equivalent of ‘liking’ things on Facebook? Statements to the media or in an idea-oriented book do not amount to genuinely substantive criticism with a guy who’s actually been in office for a long period of time , and who‘s shown us what he’s capable of while he’s there. If Newt wants to say we’re okay with exploring options on his own time, thats great. Ultimately, he knows who elects him and pays his salary while he’s in office. I think the idea that he’s some sort of collaborating backstabber is pretty far off the mark.

If we nominate someone who can’t win against Obama, then we get four more years of Obama. I’d vote for Anyone against him, Ron Paul, Perry, Newt, Bachman, etc. Anyone on our side is better than Obama, I don’t care what Glenn says. Glenn should be glad to have Obama win a second term, because it‘s obvious that American hasn’t woken up yet, and maybe this will finally do the trick, since one term obviously hasn’t worked the trick. Afterall, he was glad Obama won over McCain for just that reason, so we’d be woken up by a progressive taking us down that road faster than a slow moving progressive like McCain.
Of course, every president since John Adams has been a progressive; at least I’m sure Glenn would say so. I remember a year ago when everyone was saying “Anyone but Obama!” and now we‘re all being divided because this candidate isn’t pure enough, or that one isn’t pure enough. Obama must be smiling on the back nine each weekend. I will support any of the candidates who gets the Republican nomination, period.

I, personally think Paul is the choice as I know for a fact that he takes his oath to the Constitution seriously. Bachman or Santorum, welllll, I am not sure, but may not be quite as bad as Romney or Gingrich who both either voted for or signed into law anti-2nd amendment legislation.

This was misleading, as it gave the impression that he implied that Bush was gleeful because of the 9/11 attacks, or, was gleeful over the 9/11 attacks. When in fact, he was referring to the Iraq war, not 9/11 attacks. Here is what he said, “Immediately before there was any assessment there was glee in the administration BECAUSE now we can invade Iraq”. He was saying that the Bush administration was glad that they were now able to, or given reason to, invade Iraq. He was not referring to the 9/11 attacks. As you may already know, Bush Sr and Clinton had always wanted to go to war with Iraq. That’s not a hidden agenda, that is fact. The word gleeful was referring to the quick willingness to attack Iraq, without further assessment or investigation.

Why should Ron Paul downplay anything about his policies? That would make him less than honest, like the rest of the candidates in the field, both dem and republican.
I want an honest man in the White House. I will write him in if I have to.
Bachman lost my vote when she voted to extend the Patriot act. Her excuses were admirable, but to me they signaled how easily she could be walked AWAY from the Constitution. We don’t need anyone who would waiver on the Constitution.
I remember Newt from the 90s. No way he gets my vote.
Romney’s a Progressive Rino, who puts his wet finger to the political winds so often, it‘s a wonder his skin hasn’t chapped and peeled away. I’m looking for backbone, not spinelessness.
What galls me most is that Beck woke me to the Constitution, really woke me up, and now we’ve all been given a consistent, Constitutional candidate with a record we can see and compare, and still we quibble. And Beck doesn’t support him because he has “issues” with Ron Paul’s foreign policy, but he doesn’t ever explain them. I thought Beck loved George Washington. Then how can he quibble with Paul, who’s policies mirror that of G. Washington and other Founders?
Doesn’t make sense to me. Not a bit of sense at all.
I will vote Ron Paul, will write him in if I have to, if only to stand up for this country and its Constitution one last time at the ballot box.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:21pmNewt says that the best President in American history is FDR… and Newt is running for President…
So… who do we think Newt is going to try to emulate when he gets into office?

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:52pmThat is spot-on. I been posting this vidio that shows Newt for what he is, a globalist commie for over two weeks but peeps still kept defended the wolf in sheeps clothing. You would think after what we’ve been through with Obama conning 1/2 the country they would take the time to do some research about who they plan on voting for. Lord help us. Bachmann is the one who should be winning by a landslide if you go by who is the best for our country.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:55pmWhy his hero the progressive FDR of course,Newt said he was a progressive and I take him at his word.
So we have newt the progressive and Romney the RINO with his socialized medicine.Bachman and Santorum have no chance and Perry can’t string together a coherent sentence.People are way to sensitive about Rep.Paul’s foreign policy stance with regard to Israel. Israel can defend herself with no problem.My first choice is Ron Paul,he’d slash the budget,to the degree a president can depending on the makeup of congress.Get our fiscal house in order, again depending on the makeup of congress.
But have no fear Ron Paul haters,he won‘t get the nomination and we’ll be stuck with a progressive republican vs. a Marxist president.If we get the former the depression will be delayed,maybe.If we get the latter the depression starts quickly.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:20pmWhen are we as Americans going to start voting (especially in primaries) based on the candidates values, morals, and pricipals instead of their electability. If we did that, the electability problem goes away.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 11:35pmI agree. One is only unelectable if the people make it so.
The progressive agenda is to repeat sound bites in an attempt to cloud the peoples judgement on a particular candidate.
They will chip away with the rhetoric one candidate at a time.
“Repeat it enough, they will believe”.
God Bless, make it count!!!

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 9:11amI see alot of people getting angry and we haven’t even picked our person yet. This is a shame as we all need to band together. The left is acting like a bunch of child bullies that we see in school. I for one, want to see Obummer ousted and the sooner the better. We need to stick together and hopefully get through this without to much fighting. I am not sure who I want out of the canidates, but I will not start trouble with my own because of it. Let’s stay focused. :)

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:20pmI am so sick of one candidate rising to the top and then having the media tear them down.
It’s a sick display of manipulation and even the conservative talk hosts are playing the game.
I wish Cain was still running.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:37pmI said when the attacks on Cain first started, if we crumbled on him, we might as well lie down and roll over. The tea party caved on the attacks and we lost. They won and they’ll choose our candidate for us.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:38pmThe reason this happens is because if they are at the top they need to be vetted thoroughly so we know who we are voting for. If the GOP does not vet the candidate, I am sure the Democrats and the MSM will be more than happy to if they are the GOP nominee. It is best the leaders are vetted now verses after they are nominated.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:55pmWhy didn’t the media tear down Obama 4 yrs ago? We need to know all we can about the past of these presidential candidates. I don’t call that “tearing down”. It’s only exposing them.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:17pmSeems like Glenn Beck would not embrace Natural Born Citizen issue because Obama would be removed from office. Seems like Ron Paul going 3rd party would again benefit Obama. Seems like Obama has a best friend and Alex Jones may not be crazy after all.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:16pmGingrich would call himself a Conservative if he thought it would get him elected. I refuse to vote for the lessor of two evils. And I do not have believe in “anybody but obama”. That’s a recipe for disaster.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:16pmHow about that? Gingrich called himself a “Realpolitik Wilsonian.” Gingrich has also said that the Tea Party is “Militant.” You do the math!

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:16pmA few years ago, I heard about a film produced by Republican interns at the House before 1994. The camera showed a wall that was covered by stacks of bankers’ boxes — each box labled “NEWT IDEAS.” After the camera showed all of those boxes, it moved to a side table with a single index card box on it. That index box was labled “Newt GOOD Ideas.”

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:13pmI know a lot of people are tempted to get on the Gingrich bandwagon, because they see him as someone different than Obama. However, the only difference between what we have now, and what we would have with Gingrich, is the speed that your rights and money will go away. I urge everyone to at least take a look at any of the other candidates, because almost any one of them would be better than this guy.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 7:38pm……….I considered myself as a Tea Party member…when Gingrich announced I just shook my head and said “ no way”……..now I’m in disbelief that Tea Party folks would actually go for him other than for the reason he sure has the gift of pithy well aimed words in a debate….though I kinda like the guy I cant ignore my principals and give him my vote…perhaps I should also re-asess my “Tea-ness”…:(

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 8:36pmHere’s my take on this…WE THE TEA PARTY banded together in the name of freedom and voted as one people, since we had no choice but to start with the two party system we voted in republicans that were more conservative..because we backed the republican canidates the establishment republicans at first hating us but than yrying to convince us that we are really the gop party, the problem with that is now the establishment republicans are trying to force ungodly nee world order newt on us as the front runner and were not having it..some of the more naive tea partiers in the mean time have been pursuaded by the establishment that it is their duty to vote as the establishment tells them..that iscwhy you see this division..it is a division of those that really want Conservative change and the establishment republicans trying to coopt us for their nwo progressive agenda…the harder they push yhese losers on us the harder we are pushing back…WE THE PEOPLE will never again vote for the lesser of two evils…GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!
