Isn’t Gingrich the one who implied, “right wing social engineering,” was the greatest threat to the U.S.?

Not exactly, but he did use the loaded phrase, "right wing social engineering". The stupidity of his remarks earlier this year in response to Paul Ryan's plan was flabberghasting. It was a hideously stupid phrase to use. I was left wondering if Gingrich would next be taking Republicans to task for supporting “right wing activist” judges.

“Social engineering” is, by its very nature, left wing just as “judicial activism” is, by its very nature, also left wing. Using the words “right wing” in conjunction with those phrases makes no sense whatsoever and only serves to create the false dichotomy the left has been trying to fabricate (without much success) for years.

“Right wing social engineering” holds no more meaning than “chocolate-flavored solar flare”.

There is no Royalist party in the US, and the closest thing we have to the Fascists are the Democrats.

Basically, there is NO RIGHT WING in the US.

Gingrich knew better but he can't help talking in traditional bromides.
