No, he has never pretended to be an American Indian.
It is Ward Churchill they're talking about, isn't it?
AMEN.
Seriously... that’s his bloodline?
I see the Franklin genes..... but Grant? Churchill?
President Andrew Johnson wanted to have Lee put on trial for treason. Grant considered that a violation of the parole given to Lee at Appomattox Court House and threatened to resign from his position as General of the Army unless Johnson dropped the idea. Lee, for his part, never let anyone say anything negative about Grant in his presence.
Flood was asked about the story that when Lincoln was told that Grant was a drunkard, that he wanted to know the brand of whiskey Grant drank and he would send a barrel of it to each of the other generals. Turns out the story is not true--someone who had heard it told it to Lincoln and he denied having said it.
About 30 years ago Flood published a very good book on Lee's final years (after the end of the war).
Churchill wasn't for sale to the highest bidder, like Newt.
The biggest difference was that Churchill always put what was best for Britain first and foremost. Newt's decisions are based primarily on what’s best for Newt.
"He's not near as bad as McCain!"
Look at their accomplishments. Newt allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.
Romney, on the other hand, vehemently denied Ronald Reagan and aligned himself with Ted Kennedy and the left. Romney accomplished installing liberal big government programs, defended and promoted Roe v Wade and legalized abortion as “settled law,” advocated and implemented RomneyCare with its liberty killing government mandates against formerly free citizens and its taxpayer funded or subsidized and mandated abortion procedures. He ran and governed to the left of Ted Kennedy on the “gay agenda” resulting in gay marriage in Massachusetts. He appointed liberal judges and liberal appointees throughout his government. Under his “leadership” conservatism and the Republican party was all but destroyed in Massachusetts.
Romney is one evil liberal progressive. No way in hell will MittBots be allowed to support this abortionist, big government, socialist scumbag on FR!
Guess my message isn’t clear enough. I have to keep repeating it and zotting would be MittBots.

You still suffering under the illusion that the people get to pick their candidate?
When people hate someone who isn’t even running, more than the Marxists that are running, then we are in deep do do.
Look to my tagline. If Obama can beat Newt then he can beat Romney too. Newt will be more interesting.
Both of them were very interesting, powerful and flawed men.
Here, I have changed my little graphic to reflect that.
We should always remember that a person can be both flawed and great.
George H. W. Bush was an eighth cousin, once removed, of Winston Churchill. George W. Bush would therefore be either an eighth cousin twice removed or (less likely) a ninth cousin of Winston Churchill.
Gingrich's biological father's surname was McPherson. I don't know if he is related to the Civil War general by that name or to the Civil War historian McPherson.
{The Marxist soft coup d’etat continues unabated,}
Saddens me deeply that so many freepers have not understood the coup that took place in 08, but it is what it is.
The AOBO group is ready to accept more big government or as Michelle so correctly put it, Frugal Socialism.
This is rather fascinating, and it explains Newt’s relevancy far longer than it would/should have been sans such a lineage.
I’m not one of those roots.com people but my sister is, and she could map your mongrel rescue dog to the Queen’s Corgis in half an hour.
If this lineage is true, you can see where Newt and Churchill have the same... probably paternal heritage, same nose, same thick eyebrow ‘pads’, same jaw line, same downward edge-of-mouth, same absence of cheekbones, same eyebrows, same that hollow-spot-under the nose.
Where Franklin and Grant have the same sort of nose.
I see uniting genes in all of these. Maggie, what do you make of all this? Besides a hat, brooch or pterodactyl.
When IT happened, Mary was suprised too!
I know Brian Bolduc. He is a very good writer.
Perfect.
Nothing I've read about Churchill hints at any corruption. Newt is the poster boy for soft Republican corruption.
Newt is like Churchill? No way. Newt is much more like the unreformed Captain Renault at the start of the movie Casablanca.
Forget about Palin.
She is a quitter.
She quit twice!
Fool me once, shame on you...
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I'm not waiting for #3.
