Newt Was Right
National Review ^ | January 20, 2012 | Andrew C. McCarthy

JANUARY 20 Newt Was Right The presidency is incompatible with adherence to sharia. By Andrew C. McCarthy

Newt Gingrich’s ardent admiration for Franklin Delano Roosevelt owes more to the latter’s unflinching wartime leadership than his welfare-state policy prescriptions. This week, though, the former Speaker is also undoubtedly in accord with FDR’s aphorism, “I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.” To his great credit, Newt has made an enemy of CAIR.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, that is. The nation’s best known cheerleader for radical Islam — or, as Fox News compliantly puts it, “the largest Muslim civil liberties group in the United States” — has issued a blistering press release that labels Gingrich “one of the nation’s worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry.” The occasion for this outburst is the imminent Republican primary in South Carolina.

Asked at a campaign appearance whether he’d ever consider endorsing a Muslim for president, Gingrich sensibly answered that he would not rule it out — “it would depend on whether [the hypothetical Muslim candidate] would commit in public to give up sharia.” Naturally, the usual suspects are in full fury, with CAIR the loudest among them. They’ve trotted out the rote response, dutifully echoed by Fox, that sharia, Islam’s legal code, is simply a set of spiritual guidelines — one that, in CAIR’s portrayal, “teaches marital fidelity, generous charity, and a thirst for knowledge.”

Actually, it teaches polygamy, the underwriting of jihadist violence through ostensible charity, and the Islamization of knowledge. Don’t take my word for it. I refer you instead to a CAIR favorite, the International Institute of Islamic Thought.

CAIR and IIIT are both Muslim Brotherhood affiliates long active in our country.

“I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.” FDR

That’s what it was about from day one- Newt’s enemies are the GOP Establishment and the Left (distinction with marginal difference). Yes, he was an insider- but not anymore. They can’t control him- so they hate and fear him.

That’s why he’s winning.

Actually, sodomy of boys is their MO. The boys are sodomized and it is normalized and that is their culture (learned and modeled behavior).

That is why women are so despised and have their noses cut off, etc. And they believe in polygamy-—where one man is equal to four women. Women are cattle.

It is not against the koran to molest/abuse children—and they all do it—physically and emotionally. We should not allow any muslims to be American citizens since they can not abide by the laws of the Constitution. Their culture is incompatible with American legal system (it should be if we had Just Law). To be a citizen-—you have to take an oath to uphold the Constitution-—not that anyone does that anymore-—but is is the Law of the Land.
Muslims are unable to do it unless they leave their religion.

CAIR is a front funding group for both Hamas and Hezboallah. They are terrorists.

A complex world it is.

Newt has this last battle welling up inside him- that much is clear!

Samson, blinded and shorn had it within him by God’s grace to redeem his Nazarite vow with his last effort.

Oh, but Muslims CAN pledge that and not mean it. It’s called taqiyya or lying whenever necessary to further Islam, as advocated by their “Prophet”.

Newt’s on the right track, but I pray he gains more knowledge of Islam. Or it could be that maybe he knows but just made that qualifying statement so as not to alienate “moderate” Muslims or get tagged as a bigot.

I remember reading a book (may have been The Far Pavilions) which mentioned this old Arab lament:

“There is a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach. But alas, I can’t swim.”

Also, we have two Muslim congressmen who had to take that oath, and one at least, Keith Ellison, is totally in bed with CAIR and no patriot of this country.

You got that right. The GOP elites are frothing at the mouth over the possibility of Newt in the Whitehouse. A loose canon that they cannot control. I can’t wait to watch them talk Rove, Kraut and Hume down off the roof tomorrow night when Newt wins SC.

Me too. Was all in for Perry now putting the chips on Newt. I think that he is the only one that can take obama to school.

See you all tomorrow to celebrate Newt's win in SC

Rebellion is brewing!!

We should rebuild the grassroots conservative movement. From the Reagan Revolution of 1980 through the Contract with America in 1994, it was this movement from outside Washington that carried us to the first center-right majority governing coalition in more than 60 years.

The problem has not been with conservatism or with our voters.

The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.

Newt should turn this anti-endorsement into a TV ad!

Do YOU now understand WHY our first MUSLIM PRESIDENT is attempting to finish the destruction of the United States? From his illegal attacks on Libya to put radical Muslims in power there (and his support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt), Obama thumbs his nose at American law.

The Muslim controllers have simply hijacked the radical left in this country. From shutting down coal plants to stopping oil pipelines, Obama has enabled the radicals to destroy everything America needs to survive.

Fast and FURIOUS? Does it make more sense knowing Obama is a Muslim?

Most Americans will wait for the MSM to tell us Obama is a traitor. Some of us can still think and see the obvious without someone else telling us what to think.

And Obama is one of them, a radical Muslim doing all he can to destroy America. To do that, all he has to do is enable the radical American left. By playing Jimmy Carter on steroids, Obama has exceeded all expectations.

Jimmy Carter is stupid, Obama is a Muslim terrorist.

Islam is a major enemy of America. Anyone who can’t see that after 9/11 either has his head in the ground or has an imimical agenda to ours.
