Newt Gingrich: 100 Days of Devastatingly Swift Success
Human Events ^ | 04/29/2009 | Newt Gingrich

Posted on 04/29/2009 8:40:11 PM PDT by neverdem

To mark President Obama’s 100th day in office, I’m going to say something you might find unexpected, even shocking:

President Obama’s first 100 days have been spectacularly successful.

President Obama is the strongest domestic Democratic President since Lyndon Johnson. His ability to get Democrats in Congress to give him things that undermine their own power is impressive.

In just 100 days, President Obama has been devastatingly effective in moving forward swiftly the most radical, government-expanding agenda in American history.

Successfully Moving to a European Model of Government Control

At home, in everything from his economic policy to his energy policy to his just-announced science policy, President Obama has successfully moved the country from a traditional American model of entrepreneurship and private initiative to a European model of regulation and government control.

Abroad, he has succeeded in his apparent goal to be the un-George W. Bush; replacing aggressive, if sometimes flawed, American leadership with a humbled, weakened America on the world stage.

Judged by these standards, President Obama’s first 100 days have been a remarkable success.

I will greatly enjoy seeing his poll numbers drop to the level of his performance numbers, somewhat drastically lower than his popularity.

The definition of the word “Educate” from three versions of Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary :

1945 (Webster’s Fifth)

Educate: To develop and cultivate mentally or morally; fit for a calling by systematic instruction

1970 (Webster’s Seventh)

Educate: 1. To provide schooling for 2. To develop mentally and morally esp. by instruction

1987 (Webster’s Ninth)

Educate: 1. To provide schooling for ; to train by formal instruction and supervised practice esp. in a skill, trade, or profession 2. To develop mentally, morally, or aesthetically esp. by instruction 3. To persuade or condition to feel, believe, or act in a desired way or to accept something as desirable

-----------------------------------------

Isn’t this an interesting shift in the definition? The “New World Order” will have a mass of little conditioned minds who will act in a desired way….one world, one mind. It’s been going on for a while, hasn’t it? And now the Obama crowd has decided it is time to complete the conditioning.

Gird your loins. In the meantime, read this free downloadable book: The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America

The dictionary itself isn’t dumbing down. It seems a faithful atlas of contemporary trends in language.

I thought it's the definition of brainwash, not education...

And many Republican heads as well, mine included. No way, we already went through all the retread republicans in our last election … we need new blood. Palin, Jindal, etc.

Screw Newt. I began to advise as soon as this a-hole's election was deemed certain, that he would act swiftly and without delay-- just as his soulmates Lenin and Mao and Hitler had, to consolidate power and crush dissent. This is no surprise to anyone with a nodding acquaintance with the history of despotism.

If we thought a Communist coup would take long, we can start thinking again.

You may get flamed for saying that. If it takes Newt to stop a second Obama term, I say whatever it takes. I don't see other folks with much to say.

Newt has had his faults. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I disagree.

The democrats have campaigned for 8 years relentlessly with the help of out of country funds and every kind of traitor within including unprecendented media bias and blantant media support to get to where we are.

They worked for the destruction of the US for political power even to the point of railroading who was running against whatever dem won.

The fact that supporters of Obama are documented as having no idea what he stood for (and still don’t - but who does?) is an indication.

I wouldn’t say he was powerful at all. Even the French, for the love of brie, think he is a wimp!

What is powerful is eight years of a single focus by media, hollywood, America haters to HATE BUSH. That, and being unopposed by unfocused, weak minded polticians that show no shame suckling at the taxpayers shriveling tit while basking in obscene luxury of this great and giving country.

Obama is just a puppet that blows in the wind, Ging. He just happens to be the sock flapping between two deep lows.

It’s going to be hell of a storm to ride out, though...
