Why oh why can’t I get behind Newt, though? I really want to. The enemy of my enemies is my friend, right? But I am still scared of Newt as Pres. I know he could whip Obama’s tush. After that, I wince at Newt at the head of our government...
I felt the same. Until the townhall Newt did. Something I posted yesterday:
“Newt understands the heart and soul of America.
The USA IS exceptional. A risky experiment in democracy and decency by brave and educated founders who trusted the people, it not only survived, but thrived. Dared to not only dream, but act on those dreams and pull the rest of the world along with them.
Mr. Gingrich gets that. Then he articulates it and makes it new and exciting again.”
My own little island ruled half the planet for a reasonable while - because we believed we were exceptional (and wanted to get away from our miserable weather!) We were also the only empire in history that broke up without too much warfare.
America doesn’t want to rule the planet - I get that. But to stay true to itself, it needs to get back to it’s roots. Be honest - that is what you are fighting for and the person you need as your head of state should be one who is proud to be American. Proud of his or her country and countrymen. Palin has that. Perry has that. Gingrich has that.
I don’t care about past sins. Sins and transgressions can be forgiven, and if God forgives, which he does, I must do no less.
Regards to you!
Forever in debt to you as a country because you opened your arms and took in those homeless little Jewish German kids whose parents were shipping them out of Germany to save them from the Holocaust. One
IIttle seven year old boy was my Dad. Thanks. I will be an Anglophile all my life.
I believ e you when you say newt understands the heart and soul of America. I just worry that he will listen to it if it differs from what he thinks is best. I kind of wish perry was back in the race. But did you see today’s (to you yesterday’s) debate? Santorum did a great job. I consider him as having a last shot at the brass ring.
