"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Man, go to a hockey game an a Newting of SC occurs. Newt is certainly not the perfect conservative. As pointed out, he has and backs a couple things that make me cringe......But he has endeared himself to the people, defending AND attacking media elites. I also believe he has gained support because he actually " did something conservative" in the 90's and the people remember. I don't think the support would be as strong if Newt hadn't actually accomplished something in his time.

I'm gonna give Newt enough credit for understanding and implementing the blueprint to the people's heart.....I also believe he may tie half his brain behind his back and lead from the right. He is smart enough to know if he does not, he will be ridiculed by the very people who could elect him....and he would be through.

Newt Gingrich is also exposing the rinos. They are attacking, but in the attack I believe more people will realize we may need to fight on two fronts.....liberals are not the only group who want the status quo.


All the nations enemies are rearing thier heads. If Newt serves no other purpose, its been a good election cycle.

I emailed a strong Romney supporter this week that I was disappointed at Romney’s absence from talk radio, his lack of extended conversations on-air with the conservative electorate unmediated by MSM figures. When the platforms are available to speak directly to conservative voters and you are not using them, you are missing opportunities.

He's still shilling but he does understand part of the magnetic attraction to Newt.
For many, there is the visceral understanding that Newt is now the logical choice
and he doesn't get that.

Let's see if this one works
http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2012/01/in-gingrich-backed-censoring-the-web-111756.html



I don't equate concern for your country in regards to safety and terrorism vs the support of this latest bill. He was speaking about safety, not shutting down some pirated site or hollywoods "intellectual property" being stolen.

I equate newts stance with the inability to shout "fire" in a theater. The article doesn't read as sinister as we are led to believe by a media who will attach to anything to discredit him.

Glenn Beck will go on the air in another five minutes.

I think there is a reasonable expectation that he will go apoplectic regarding Newt's SC results and the resultant momentum.

Yeah, Glenn will have kittens.  He's been pumping Santorum while slamming Newt & Romney, but Santorum cannot get traction and I think voters in SC correctly assumed Rick is too nice a guy to survive battle with OBama & the MFM.  I'll bet Glenn does some sort of mocking impersonation of a Newt SC voter, which will not endear many people to Glenn's message.  Glenn can sometimes be his worst enemy.  PLus, this shows what can happen when you get out front and push someone and it blows up in your face.  People think a brawler like Newt has a better chance at defeating Obama and I cannot disagree with that basic point.

Mark Steyn on why Gingrich is surging.

In a nutshell it's because Romney is a stiff and unimaginative candidate who can't inspire his way out of a wet paper bag.

This brawler also has a better chance of bringing more brawlers with him
to congress and rend asunder this plague that's been foisted upon us.
He screwed Bill and Hillary's utopian plans he can dissect these bureaucracies.
If Boehner had followed his example we wouldn't be in the shape we are in.

Thus, the panic attacks of Newt gaining momentum.

This is what happens when you cower instead of lead.

Own it, leadership bitches!

I listened to a few minutes of Beck this morning......Frankly, I'm gonna give myself a break because he is this close to calling people stupid for thier support of Newt.

I haven't listened to Beck recently, but this would make sense, given Beck's  deep aversion to Wilsonian progressivism, and Gingrich's affection for the same.

I really think that unless Gingrich has had a conservative epiphany, we're in for a world of hurt if he becomes president. We think Boehner and McConnell have undermined conservatism going forward, I fear we haven't seen anything like we will if Gingrich becomes president.

But he could have changed. It could be that he has, through his studies and research, come to understand the folly of big government republicanism. But I wouldn't bet on it.

Romney is supposed to be electable… but he’s also kind of pointless. And Newt… well, he’s going to be a challenge. And he might not even be that good as president as he fancies himself an intellectual which I distrust. It’s like Sophie’s Choice if Sophie didn’t really like either of her kids.
