Won’t argue with the title.
Action, reaction. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Problem is that we never reduce the size of government after it expands. The best we’ve ever done since the New Deal is had the size of government reduce relative to the size of the economy (under Reagan and the Gingrich Congress). Maybe absolute government size decreased post-WWII under Eisenhower (I don’t know — does anyone here know?)
Conservatives have long been vitalized prior to Obama. But the GOP never noticed, or didn’t care.
Back in the 1990's, early 2000s, you could at least make a case that the bias was unintentional. The bias these days is just so absurdly pro-Obama, virulently anti-conservative Paris Hilton couldn't miss it.
Might even help get rid of some liberal RINOs
From the article:
“Entering the room to an extended standing ovation, Gingrich began by taking exception with Attorney General Eric Holder’s recent comment that the U.S. is a nation of cowards on the subject of race.
“I welcome an opportunity to have a discussion with you about cowardice – anywhere, anytime, anyplace,” Gingrich challenged. “This is a nation courageous enough to not be ruled by people who won’t tell us the truth.
“If the attorney general thinks we are a nation of cowards, the Obama administration is just plain dumb.”
Gingrich is general chairman of American Solutions for Winning the Future, self-described as “a non-partisan organization designed to rise above traditional grid-locked partisanship to provide real, significant solutions to the most important issues facing our country.”
Gingrich, who considered running for president in 2008, called for a revival of the Reagan revolution, agreeing with DeLay in characterizing the Obama budget plan as “the boldest effort to create a European socialism we have ever seen.”
Gingrich ridiculed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s performance on camera in the House chamber as Obama delivered his address to Congress earlier this week.
“Pelosi reacted hyperactively to Obama’s speech,” he said. “She was standing to applaud even before President Obama completed his sentences.”
Well, the Newt-ster just has to take a deep breath and realize that he screwed the voters and his credibility forever. He is a great sound bite, but his role in leadership is GONE. He chose to be the immoral butthead and there will be consequences for that personal failure.
Wait for it.
The Gingrich haters will be here any second that spout, “He was in a commercial about global warming with the Pelousi, so he’s wrong!”
-or-
“He divorced his wife... DIE, DIE, DIE!”
The pendulum always swings...
Rahm Emanuel has taken control of the census in order to prevent that.
revitalizing? he has actually helped finish my conversion.
Too late.
Government programs NEVER die and Obama is loading up the Federal Government with all sorts of new powers and programs. Conservatives will never be able to kill them.
Has the one, sent any regards about Paul Harvey’s passing? The silence is deafening or could it be a generation thing?/Just Asking - seoul62......
