Gingrich Flashback: ‘Progressive’ FDR Was ‘Greatest President of the 20th Century’ (Plus – SEIU’s Andy Stern Is Visionary Union Leader!)

Scroll down for the video — or read this first:

I’ve always liked the feisty tone Newt Gingrich brings to debate.

There is a cool, analytical detachment to his brutal and effective dissection of liberal failure.

I like it. And maybe that’s the problem. A Blaze correspondent suggests this:

There is an interesting research study that sheds some light on why someone like Gingrich, who is abrasive and has a history of ethical lapses, enjoys his current standing in the polls.

Research has shown that the most important factor in charisma is self-confidence. Interestingly, the confidence doesn’t even have to be justified for people to consider a leader charismatic. In fact, narcissists are initially viewed as confident and charismatic leaders-although that perception eventually changes when the leader’s true capabilities are revealed.

In times of conflict, people who are aggressive and emotionally cool or cold are more likely to be seen as more charismatic leaders.  Since the focus is on the person’s aggressiveness, the ethics of the person is not seen as important.

Why is this? In stressful environments and times, people instinctively look for people who are more aggressive and colder emotionally to protect them and to take on enemies. In less stressful, less dynamic, and less conflict ridden environments, leaders who less aggressive and warmer emotionally are more likely to be seen as charismatic because there is less of a perceived threat and the focus isn’t on defeating an enemy.  Think of George Patton. The perfect personality for war time.  The wrong personality for peacetime.

The challenge is that voters are currently focusing on one thing-How do we beat Obama?  They want a Winston Churchill, to give ‘em hell, storm Washington, fight Obama on his own turf, and set things right.  This is why we believe Newt Gingrich is enjoying his current lead in the polls. He is abrasive, emotionally cold, and has a history of ethical lapses. Even though Republicans are well aware of Gingrich’s past character issues, they are giving more weight his aggressiveness and relative emotional coldness because they are looking for someone to very aggressively take on Obama–Patton style.

Do you buy that?

I’m not totally convinced. There is a part of me that really wants to see Gingrich as nominee on a stage with Obama and we have 90 minutes to see what happens. Did anyone see the movie Warrior?

In the past week, we have seen a significant challenge to Newt Gingrich via questions and arguments from Glenn Beck. Full disclosure: Glenn Beck recently reaffirmed his affirmation to me that we should post on The Blaze any story we feel newsworthy despite it’s implications or effect on him.

You are probably aware that Beck and Gingrich have not seen eye-to-eye over this past week.  Begin the review here.

Is Gingrich a “progressive” in any real sense? Beck would argue yes. Many parts of me would scream no.  I do know that Gingrich is likely capable to debate the next two points to great effect.

But evaluate on your own.

A video tip provides us this montage of Gingrich describing his high esteem for Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  Over and over again:

 

 

Well — you can’t deny that FDR was “effective.”  But — the “greatest President of the 20th century?”  Hmm.  Get me some jelly beans while I think about that.

Gingrich Flashback: Progressive FDR Was Greatest President of the 20th Century (Plus SEIUs Andy Stern Is Visionary Union Leader!)

Still — I can understand the historian in Gingrich trying sketch an arc of the significant figures in the American story and finding FDR quite visible in that arc.

It‘s not like he’s praising Van Jones or Andy Stern!

Oh. Wait.

The folks over at The Huffington Post have now noted this high praise for Stern (yes – the long-time SEIU wizzard) in Gingrich’s book, “Real Chance: From the World That Fails to the World That Works”:

Conservatives cannot cheer unions overseas and then be blindly anti-union here at home. There are legitimate historic reasons for workers to organize together, and there is a strong need for a healthy, competitive, union, movement that helps improve the lives of its members and the competitiveness of our country.

Andy Stern, the head of the Service Employees International Union, is the union leader who probably best understands the challenge of the world market and the need to make American union members productive in the face of world competition. Sadly, he is a distinct minority among union leaders.

HuffPo did get some follow-up info:

Praise for Stern –- certainly in this current political climate — is the type of thing that would get a Republican candidate half an hour of intense armchair psychology from Glenn Beck and other prominent conservatives. And when presented with the passage, former Gingrich aide Rick Tyler stressed that his former boss no longer agrees with those sentiments.

“He met with Andy Stern several times and Andy Stern had given Newt the impression that he was a forward-looking union leader,” said Tyler. “Turns out he wasn’t.”

Is Gingrich up to another “half an hour of intense armchair psychology from Glenn Beck?”  I’m betting yes.  And betting Beck is too.

Doubt that?

Watch Beck on Monday night’s GBTV program – click here.

UPDATE:  Gingrich has also described himself as a “Realpolitik Wilsonian.”

    Ok lets put it this way. Im 21 and have yet to meet another person who’s life goal is to become president and change the world for the better with the position. I will come to power weither it be in a year or ten years. I will be president one day, I promise you all I will save you from the slavery that you are currently subject to. I don’t make these promises lightely, but seeing as I will acsend to power one day when you are all old and wrinkled I will keep my promise. NO ONE will agree with me because I am in the middle of the debate but I will bring prosperity and freedom back to America one day. That is my life goal, what if yours?

      Instead of posting how great you perceive yourself to be and how you are longing to become “in power”, you should first question why you would want to handle such a task. Is it for vanity? Do you sincerely beleive that each individual within a community should be involved (without cohersion) in social issues rather than government? Would you adhere to the constitution? What about states rights? Freedom to practice the religion of one’s individual choice without government intrusion?
      The power which the executive branch weilds now is tremendous and is groing exponetially; will you be willing to limit (considerably) the reach of the federal government?

      I admire your gusto. If you feel that you’re destined to the greatness that is the Presidency of these United States, then you go for it. Even if you don’t end up being the person for the job, you will give America the option of choosing from the best as opposed to having each party’s favorite son foisted upon them.
      But I have to tell you, the answer to the problems we face as a country don’t lie in politics. No member of Congress, Dictator or King will fix the condition in which we find ourselves today. If you choose to spend the next 14 years grooming yourself for the highest public office, that’s your right. But may I make a suggestion? There’s a lot of work for a young person such as yourself right now. Be a leader where you are. Make a difference in the world that will last forever. Invest in people’s lives. Serve your country by serving the community in which you live. I promise you this: You will become addicted. Maybe, just maybe you’ll find your calling can be achieved long before you expected.
      Godspeed.

      You have much to learn, and I do not say that insultingly.

      You can not save people from this slavery, you can only unlock their shackles, they must want to shed them and live free.

      “NO ONE will agree with me because I am in the middle of the debate but I will bring prosperity and freedom back to America one day.”

      You can’t be in the middle on everything, just like you can’t score a touchdown while standing on the 50 yard line. There is no middle on issues like Abortion. McCain and Gingrich are people in the middle; and they both are horrible candidates, and would make bad presidents.

      If you look at this as ascending to power, you are not ready. We do not need an Emperor. Bringing back prosperity and freedom back to America one day can only be done by returning that power from which you want to ascend.

      Don’t give up on your goals, you have to make them. Just know if those goals are what you are suppose to be doing with your life. Best way to know that is to know why you are doing it, and knowing yourself. Best way to know thyself is to measure one’s own being.

      I feel a call to be President someday, and I don’t really like politics. Your statement reads like another Big Government Progressive who thinks his new government plan can solve the problem.

      Fact is, the President will never solve our government problem…
      …The President will only lead the people who will solve the problem!

      “Emotionally cold”? He laughs a helluvalot for someone who is emotionally cold. Is he serious when he needs to be? Sure. Is he able to laugh at himself and at almost any situation? Yes. Honestly, that’s one of the things I like about the man. Think of every popular president, and you’ll find that same quality. FDR, Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton…they all had the ability to laugh a lot, and laugh at themselves. I count that as a great quality in a human being. I’m Greek, and we laugh a lot, including at ourselves. You’d love our family get-togethers; we often end up in tears and in pain from laughing to much and so hard. Romney seems to have no sense of humor, nor does Paul or Santorum. The others have a little humor, but only a little. Newt seems to have a lot, and it makes him likeable Despite all of his other shortcomings. Little things like that matter to the electorate. Just a thought.

However, they both end in totalitarianism. My answer is none of the above. America is being presented the scenario election of 1912 all over again. They say your choice is fascist or communist. Roosevelt, or Wilson. Both are on the highway to Hell the only difference is one is taking the train while the other has hopped the Concord.

    Was that FDR old news? Does he still feel the same?
    If so, why? If not, why?

    ==============================================================
    here’s my starting point

    Newt Gingrich was so gracious to Cain in the Lincoln/Douglas style debate. He gave him opportunity to speak and even asked him about an issue that he knew he could shine in. He waited more than once for Cain to ask him to step in before he began his answer to the question.

    At the Thanksgiving Family forum I witnessed someone who had been sickened by years without Faith. He described a turning point and shows peace in that decision.

      He did not come off as arrogant but passionate about getting SERIOUS in problem solving. He called out the fakers who have put this nation at risk while they pretend to solve problems. I feel comfortable that he knows DC so well and will use all of his skills to protect the United States of America.

      He is owing to NOBODY. That gives him a strength that Romney will NOT enjoy. Romney will give us more of the progressive overton window on our march to dull dreary socialist captivity. He will make the promises just like we have seen over and over again, and not deliver just like we have seen over and over again. He does not have the strength that Newt has. He will be confounded by the Well Trained Alinsky Method User in debate. Only Newt can disassemble those tactics.

      Newt Gingrich is either lying or truthful. I have seen truthful.

      .. OK class, let’s review. The word ‘Progressive’ is another way of saying ‘Communism’, just like Marxism, Socialism or Islam is another way of saying ‘Progressivism’. All career politicians are not to be trusted. They are only in it for themselves, just as ‘Newt’, a small water dwelling amphibian, is only in it for himself. American politics will make you a very wealthy person if you just ignore that pesky piece of paper known as the Constitution.

      @PhilGray: You’re right, Beck is a snake oil salesman. The first real insight I had into this was when he was hocking gold for Goldline (still is). I looked into buying gold from them and found that their prices were almost DOUBLE what another gold company was charging for the EXACT SAME COINS. I was able to buy 7 british sovereigns and 7 swiss francs from this other company for the same amount of money it would have cost me to buy 4 of each from Goldline. Goldline rips their customers off. No wonder they can afford to hire posers like Beck, Levin, Hannity and Ingraham to advertise for them. They overcharge. This has been brought to Beck’s attention by Peter Schiff, who predicted the financial crisis long before most others. Beck distanced himself from Schiff while reaffirming his commitment to Goldline. There is also his sanctimonious throwing of Andrew Breitbart under the bus over the Shirley Sherrod incident. There is now also his transparent attempt to drop a bomb by calling the tea party racist if they support Newt but are against Obama, as though there could be no other explanation (like simply being party hacks).

      That said, Beck is right on about Newt Gingrich. He’s a smooth talker and a great debater, but his actions don’t match his words. Look at people’s records! Ron Paul is the most consistently Constitutional candidate, followed by Bachmann and Santorum. Gingrich & Romney are the two worst candidates and they’re the frontrunners. Ugghhh!

      so apparently Phil is convinced that self-described and proud progressive Newt (please watch the you-tube clips of Newts progressive praise Phil since you do all your own research-I suggest you stop defending Newt as a conservative until you watch them and read Ann Coulters Dec.3 article) is more electable than the lesser of two evils Romney? Similar feelings abound at the moment as written here because of Newt’s debate skills but no debate will overcome his massive baggage combined with a billion $ worth of negative ads emphasizing such. Nobody says Newt isn’t better than Obama- but electable vs. Obama- Sorry you are dead wrong -he is not the most conservative of the two by a long shot. No true conservatives remain to save the republic so just look at facts and search for the truth on this subject before you blow your pacemaker old man. An angry portly white haired professor looks good for awhile bashing the president on tv-and makes us all cheer for awhile-it just doesnt’ get you elected. Against the most radical arrogant president since Wilson we just can’t survive 4 more years.

To make money by selling they’re history. why do you think they says the outrageous things they do. not cause they believe them. If that were true they wouldn’t flip-flop on the positions they hold every day. Why don’t smart Americans like your selves see this. When you see any of these people on t.v. what does the host do. here tonight is newt Gingrich and his new book is “blah blah barrack is ruining this country” Or tonight on GBTV join freedom works and buy canned jam for the end of the world caused by the government. This has been going on for years and years. wake up people all these people are modern day snake oil salesmen and televangelists. Why do you think they are all millionaires? by creating jobs and helping they’re fellow man? No they are greedy people spoiled gluttons. Look at Newts schedule. He isn’t campaigning. He is on a book tour, and when he is on tv where is his wife? at a book signing. and as this Blaze article shows you. his books are based on whatever is making Americans mad at the time. that’s why his books are right wing one years and progressive the other.

      Sir,

      I think you have it backwards. The real snake oil salesman is Gingrich. He is a big goverment progressive guy and there is enough proof to hang him high in the sun on that. The Republican establishment is as bankrupt as the Dems. In our desire to rid the country of this disease called Obama, we are willing to try another variety of the same disease. I have been active in grass roots politics here in Chester County, PA. Trust me when I tell you that I have marched to Washington 4 times, confronted face to face pols like Bacchus from Alabama (warned him that his party was partially responsible for putting that Marxist/Socialist in power) knocked on countless doors and came to the conclusion that Americans shared the other part of the blame. Mr Beck is not my God and I do not follow him blindly. However, he is about the best historian I have come across. As he has said countless times-YOU do the research,check it out! I have! I now have more history books in my book cases than the chemistry books of my profession:). I have not decided whom I will vote for, however I will do my best not to put in another variety of the same poison. By the way “THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, MARINE!!!” :)

      You can admire the political abilities of FDR, and appreciate his love of his country and leadership in times of great crisis, without liking his specific policies. Many are enamored with people like Napoleon, Hitler, Julius Caesar, because of how they accomplished what they did so fast and effectively. Hitler was a “great” leader, in the sense of “powerful and effective”. Great does not always mean good.

      I see Gingrinch as Progressive who opposes the larger progressive goals and values while still admiring its tools and methodology. He doesn’t understand well enough how power corrupts. His own inner corruption blinds him to it. His ego males him think that the right people with the right values can make government work better. Sure they can, but they can’t make it safe and the wrong men will always rise up to replace the right ones, and often the right ones will gradually become the wrong ones. Power is a corrosive of the soul.

      Philgray I agree with you. And I find Becks attacks on the former speaker are in poor taste.. Newt and Bob Dole were the last people in Washington to actually balance the budget. I think if the citizens of this country were engaged and pushed their Representatives in Washington to actually do the will of the people and hold them accountable for their votes you could put almost anyone in office. I think a good part of the problem is people either do not vote and if they do they don’t follow up after wards and let politicians know that they will be held accountable.

      I’ve noticed that Beck is trying to sway the vote much like the other media does. They all seem to get a big head at some point and feetheireopinionon matters more than the average Joe. Beck wants Bachman and frankly I will probably cast my vote for her too but I really find his attacks on Newt to be unproductive.

Newt is a Big government guy. Newt is a big fan of Ethanol and will raise the persentage of Ethanol that goes in our cars. So what does that mean? Less corn for our people who produce our food. Think of it, almost everything has some sort of a corn base in it. Not only will the price of a gallon of gas will go higher than obama has emposed on the American people but the price of food will skyrocket. I’m really mad when I heard that our congressman were able to have insider trading, and if Newt at the time was a insider trader. Why all so a sudden has that gone away. Not only that, his deals with Fannie Mae & Freddie Max. I’m also mad that the Tea Party for backing Newt, I‘m sorry that the Tea Party isn’t pushing for Mrs. Bachmann way back when, she is the True Conservative along with Rick Santorium.

      I agree. Newt Gingrich‘s Special Order’s Speeches after the close of the Congressional work day on C-Span were an education for me back in the early 1980′s. He is a REAL historian and told us back then what Glenn did so well over the last few years on his program on Fox News. Newt is largely responsible for the Republicans taking the House and Senate in 1984 which gave us the Reagan Revolution. If he is destroyed by these Bible/Prophesy Republicans, who in my opinion are as wrong and arrogant as the country club Republicans, it will be a catastrophe for the nation.

      Philgray, I was in the Navy during the same time and like all good Republicans, Newt was the bad guy, just like Regan, and the Democrats were the good guys, even Clinton with his baggage. Scratch and claw, there are many of us that have learned things we were shown and taught from the media and school weren’t real or right, I also think Gingrich is the right man for the job this time around. The greatest president and greatest union leader can actually be in the same connotation as saying Hirohito was the greatest Japanese leader or Napoleon was a great strategist. Just because they were does not mean they were role models in a good way. Did Newt not give us welfare reform, a balanced budget (military life was rough back then, wasn’t it?), and several other good things mixed with the garbage of the administration? Give me a choice of Newt or Romney, Newt wins because he isn’t afraid of his shadow. Remember, everything right now is falling into the same pattern as Ronald Regan, and whatever you say, a lot of people were wrong before the election and very sad two terms were the limit. Besides, there is no way one term with Newt could be anywhere near as bad as a second term with Obama.

But what you do not see is that he represents the “beltway”. He IS a career politician AND he is much more progressive than any other candidate running for the Republican nomination. He is not my choice for that reason. That being said, as President he would push us closer to a one world order, just not as fast as Obama. So I would still vote for him as opposed to BO.

      Mr. Gray, I agree w/you 110%. I’ve loved Glenn the past ~12 years, but he has a big handicap analyzing Gingrich: Glenn just WASN’T PAYING ATTENTION when Newt was whipping the Repubs into shape and leading assault after assault on those miserable Dhims for **16 FREAKING YEARS** before he TOOK THE HILL AND WON THE HOUSE FOR THE GOP. Glenn doesn’t recall the incredible slanders, smears, vituperation and mocking that Newt endured all those years, yet he never gave up, even as many in his own party (like Bush 1) also demeaned him.

      Why did Newt say those nice things about FDR, in those conveniently unidentified clips? Because Newt was, and is, constantly trying to win over his enemies to his side, or at least pressure them. If you look at HOW he praises FDR, or Wilson, it’s always in terms of CONSERVATIVE VALUES. He cherry-picks a few facts from the leftist icon’s bio, then argues that non-Repubs shd therefore support the current conservative agenda, since “it’s basically just continuing on the FDR tradition.” This used to be a staple of ALL strong Repub candidates, esp. Ronald Reagan. But Glenn wasn’t cognizant of in those years, so he JUST DOESN’T GET IT.

      Glenn has done a fantastic service to our country the past few years, esp. w/his expose’ of progressive history, but he is just barking up the wrong tree on this one. If Newt was really a progressive, then why do all the REAL progressives hate him with the white hot heat of a thousand suns?

      @PhilGray: So you’re saying there is a religious test to become president? Sounds like you wouldn’t vote for Bachmann because of her religious views. How exactly do her religious views affect whether she repeals Obamacare and cuts spending? These are really the issues that are going to take this country down, not whether someone has what you believe are outlandish religious views. I guess you could vote for a Republican with less controversial religious views, but then we’ll probably still have Obamacare and spending will continue wildly out of control until the dollar and economy collapse. Yeah, great argument for voting against Bachmann. With all due respect, you sound like a moron. And I’m not even a Bachmann supporter…Ron Paul is my guy. He wasn’t my guy 4 years ago, but I saw the light right around the time of all the TARP bailouts. By then it was too late. Ron Paul is the candidate to seriously shrink government in a meaningful way and unleash the private sector to be productive and create millions of useful jobs, not government make-work jobs.

      Bachmann seems like a nice person and, if she were in a state that meant something politically like Florida, she would make a fine veep. She is however, irrelevant in the real scheme of things and will not amount to anything presidential other than to be certain her views on policy are utilized when another republican candidate is elected. Her power in congress will be enhanced. She may find her presidential pace in 2020.
      Now if Beck has his way, either Bachmann or Paul or both will run as a third party and that will slit the conservative/republican vote and ensure Obama wins again.
      That’s just crazy.

    Hold on. FDR was exactly what Newt said, but that does not mean it is Newt‘s intention to follow in FDR’s footsteps and be Progressive. Heck, I think Gengis Kahn, whichever spelling you use, was a great warrior but it doesn’t mean I want to have my Generals to emulate him. The book New Deal, or Raw Deal, along with Glenn Beck himself, pointed out many times how FDR accomplished as much as he did,

    Here is one thing that is extremely sad. Up until the last couple years, I though FDR was the best President, pulling us through the Great Depression, WWII and all that, but that was how the history books were written. Funny thing was, my grandparents hated the man and I always had a conflict about how they lived before and through the Great Depression and survived and hated FDR, yet the history books said otherwise, and last couple years that question was answered.

    Was FDR the best president? Yes, and he was also the worst, depending on which side of the line you are on. One can have an opinion they are the best, and still know not to be like him.

Now is not the time for Beck to start coming up with crap like this. Did Gingrich get a balanced budget with a Democrat in the White House? Yes. Did Newt nearly end entitlements? Yes. Did Newt screw up when he was House Speaker for going after Bill yet having his own fling on the side? Yes. Newt is a conservative and Beck discredits himself for saying otherwise.

      He was sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi with the position that something has needs done about Global Warming. When was that…….3 or 4 years ago? He has been an advocate for an individual mandate/socialized medicine for almost 20 years. Do you expect me to believe that he is not a progressive?

      The next debate really listen to what he is saying. Everything he says is predicated on the notion that big government programs can work if they are run the right way. He will rattle off about three ideas to run a government program more effectively and throw some history in as well. Combining several ideas to fix big government programs coupled with history lessons gives Newt the appearance of being very smart and more conservative than he really is.

Personally I think Gingrich is the most progressive and liberal of all of the candidates.

Brainwashing, reverse phsycology, lies, false accusations, and anything else they come up with to keep us off blance. They have left Romney alone, why? They attempted to destroy Palin, Bachman, Cain, Beck, The Tea Party,Limbaugh, Hannity, and FOX. Could Gingrich have changed as he has said? I guess it is possible. The truth is right now at this stage of the game it looks like Gingrich or Romney. pray that we Ihave a chance but the money and the power of the progressives is mind boggling. Who ever gets the nomination has to have our support. If it takes baby steps, so be it. Regardless either way it does not end with the 2012 election. We will still have allot of work in front of us. God help us, and God Bless America.

      I personally think Romney is the one being portrayed as the loser by the main stream media and the far right pundits. Gingrich has been given a free pass. They just mention that Gingrich has baggage but they haven’t spent too much time digging into the details of his baggage.

      Personally,I think they can’t find anything on Romney that will stick. I know Ted Kennedy had a difficult time trying to win in 1994 and he was looking underneath every rock for something to pin on Romney and couldn’t find much. The same goes for the time he ran for governor in 2002 and he won.

      So I think Romney is squeaky clean, and if that is the case, the story can stay focused on the Obama Economy.

    Here he is..flat out telling us that he’s a progressive. I do believe that these wars are being fought for the industrial complex..Who made money off the Viet Nam war? I believe it was Rockefella making the money off selling weapons to the opposing side,,and Lady Bird Johnston making money off of medical supplies..while our men fought and died to be spit upon when they got home..THe Viet Namese didn’t even want them over there..It was a blood money war.

    Good follow up Scott, I‘m glad to see Freedom Center’s ad for Israel support on GBTV on the 7th. It was interesting that Glenn said he didn’t know they were advertising. I feel the bigger surprise was that Newt Gingrich spoke in support of Jews and Israel at the end of the ad. As an attendee of Restoring Courage in Jerusalem, I like the ad and Newt Gingrich for standing with him. My dad used to say, “if your digging a hole, don’t keep digging”. Seems like that is all that happens in politics these days; people just keep digging. Just keep giving us the truth, we can take it, we don’t have to go back to TR or FDR to try to prove something, we have enought trouble in this time period today.

      So you think Newt is standing up for the Jewish people?

      Two days ago he re-affirmed that he supports creation of a Palestinian State,
      negotiated through the United Nations!

      Gingrich is playing intellectual games with Israel and the Jewish voters.
      He polishes a vase, and then intentionally drops it…destroyed…gone!

      It’s been that way for quite a while. Just ask Lindsey Graham and his friends like John McCain

      You are correct, the progressives have coopted the establishment republicans years ago, the only ones that cant see that are the sheeple that let the media lie to them.

    Newt, Tea-Partiers? Really? REALLY? Trust Me, you really can’t afford another progressive in the White House. It is going to be rough for you all even if you get a conservative in office. Please, reconsider.

    Sincerely, GOD.

      Please, I’m begging, don’t vote from fear, vote from conviction. Have a little faith in us the electorate, we are not dumb, in spite of what the left and rhino’s want us to do. Newt is NOT what our country needs, I’ve watched his career for years and he is not our George Washington- he is another Washingtonian who is an ambitious man. He won‘t do what’s best for us, but what’s best for him. He will betray this country into a global mess. Please, please throw out the fear. Try for serious inspiration instead of reaction.

      Regardless of my views I only have one request. stop posting your point of view and attributing it to “GOD”. You do not speak for God and neither do I. So stop please.

      The problem is Mitt and Newt both have progressive leanings and none of the other will get the nod so in the end I vote for Newt and in the end I side with Beck Obama wins. Why? Because there is no more George Washington and our only savior is Christ. So get on your knees all…
