Glen Beck’s argument against Newt is that he admired Teddy Roosevelt and FDR.
Gingrich is a historian! Of course he is going to admire two men who were significant figures in the history of this country. Gingrich probably admires Hitler for what he did to reverse a broken country into a powerhouse that nearly dominated the globe (not for his atrocities and dictatorial leadership).
You can admire people without wanting to emulate them!
Beck is being intellectually dishonest on this point.
Precisely. Newt is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. Had he criticized FDR for his excesses - he would be called ‘traitorous’.
One can only hope that the viewing masses make the distinction - reconcile their attraction to some of the ‘reality’ shows i.e. INK, Sister Wives, Kardashians, Dirty Jobs and realize that while they find these people interesting and some even admirable - they wouldn’t necessarily emulate them.
We can only hope, we can only hope.
We can also pray;)
