You don’t think Newt’s intelligence is superior to that of a good number of Americans?
Probably, but that’s kind of beside the point here. The “Ruling Elite” mentality which has been around since Fabian socialism in the the late 1800’s, dominates D.C. and justifies their tyranny in their own mind. The fact is politicians, most of whom do not have Newt’s level of intelligence, are not endowed from on high with the anointing of ruling your life and mine. Intelligence does not justify tyranny.
And the fact is you and I are smarter and better at running our own lives with much happier outcomes, than any distant bureaucrat or politician in D.C. be it Newt or anyone else. That is the point here, and it is the battle we the people and the states now face against the $4 trillion most unconstitutional mostly despotic central government in D.C. To the degree Newt aligns with ruling elitism, to that degree he is part of the problem.
