As Ronald Reagan used to say: Well. Yesterday we took note of former Reagan State Department official Elliott Abrams' piece over at NRO that went after Newt Gingrich on his relationship with Reagan. While voting regularly with Reagan as a young congressman from Georgia, Gingrich, claimed Abrams, "often spewed insulting rhetoric at Reagan, his top aides and his policies to defeat Communism." Abrams then goes on to cite " a famous floor statement Gingrich made on March 21, 1986." Or sort of cites it. In fact, I'm sorry to say, what appears to be going on here is that Elliott Abrams, a considerably admirable public servant and a very smart guy, has been swept up in the GOP Establishment's Romney frothings over the rise of Newt Gingrich in the Republican primaries. He is even being accused of trolling for a job in a Romney administration. No way!!!! Really????
.....
So now I've read the Gingrich speech that is the source of all the hoopla. All seven, fine print pages worth of it exactly as it appeared in its original form. I can only say that what Elliott Abrams wrote in NRO about Newt Gingrich based on this long ago speech is not worthy of Elliott Abrams. Specifically, Abrams implies that Newt Gingrich was spewing mindless vitriol about Reagan on the House floor. Not only not so, it was quite to the contrary. Of President Reagan, Gingrich says:

When the Republican establishment resort to bald-faced lies, the rubicon has been crossed. I don’t see any way that the GOP is going to be able to put this humpty-dumpty back together if they’re successful in pushing Romney across the finish line. They’ve irreversibly poisoned the well. I predict a massive backlash against Romney if he becomes the candidate and a catastrophe in November.
What venue/link can viewers see Michael Reagan discuss the conflict between the Goldwater/Rockefeller republicans?
I am very disappointed in Drudge. Ann Coulter has been drifting into some strange territory for some time, but I’ve never seen Drudge push lies like this before.
Someone posted a thread last night saying that Drudge had posted Michael Reagan’s comments, but when I went there I couldn’t find them. But the lies were still up at the top.
Now Drudge has moved the anti-Newt stuff down his page, but he’s still not admitting that Eliot Abrams lied.
All these Skull and Bone morons are lying bastards.
We blame the GOP Establishment for relentlessly pushing Romney down our throats. And we also have noted the ideological similarities between the Alinskyites Obama and Romney.
Without getting conspiratorial, I think it’s worth considering who might be behind the Establishments of both parties.
Although Soros is routinely flogged, I don’t think he has the influence that some conservatives attribute to him. Nor is there a clear motive for the GOP and Dems to help Soros, even in the presence of financial incentives.
But there is a clear motive for the GOP and Dems to court China. Chinese officials have almost certainly made their preferences regarding the candidates known.
Drudge didn’t put Michael Reagan’s dispute of the liberal lies up. It was a paid Newsmax ad!
I confess to buying into Abrams story. I repent too.
What they are doing to Newt Gingrich is nothing short of DESPICABLE!
HINT: Check romney financial record....There’s a few posts tying his investments that he doesn’t know he owns into China
Also found links between Bain and Bilderberg....Does that merit foilware?
If anything you could say Newt was attacking Reagan from the right in this speech. Maybe his new tagline should be “Newt Gingrich: Even MORE Conservative than Reagan.”
He was on Megin Kelly program yesterday. There may be a link at the FOX. My computer is so slow, I usually just hang around FR alot or I’d go look.
BECAUSE, UNLIKE MANY, I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER MR. GINGRICH and RONALD REAGAN VERY WELL, AND KNOW THAT THIS RECENT "DUMP" IS ...BULLSHIT!
The post is well-deserving of a bookmark for the permanent record of Mr. Gingrich.
Why wouldn’t Bain and Bilderberg be linked? Their agenda for companies (globalize, outsource non-core functional areas, lean process) is basically the Bilderberg agenda for countries. Bain courts the C-suite, and it’s the multinational corporation C-suite that participates in groups such as Bilderberg and World Economic Forum.
Much of what freepers have found on the relationship has been recently scrubbed.....Just like BO’s records. But a gal who’s last name is pronouced Ga Deeeesh seems to be the missing link between Mitt and B’berg.
It doesn’t mean much to me cause I don’t even balance my checkbook, but if it’s relavent to the business community guess you need to get the information to them. )Freepmail maggie f for the information)
Somebody needs to send this to Charles Krauthammer!
Someone claimed that Drudge linked to it. But the moderators closed the thread, because there was already a thread pointing to the Reagan piece. Anyway, if Drudge linked to it, he shortly after pulled the link.
Thx much for that...vy good!
I think there should be a running master list of all of those participating in this smear campaign, starting with:
Elliot Abrams
Ann Coulter
Bob Dole
Matt Drudge
At the heart of both parties’ establishments is the quest for money and power, and that has resulted in a globalist outlook.
What is a “globalist”?
In the context used here, American power players and Wall Street interests have dominated international commerce and established monetary structures in a global network that requires military strength projected worldwide as protection from Third World aggression. It is commonly referred to in the media as ‘protecting US interests overseas’, but has grown far beyond that in reality as huge international conglomerates have developed and moved American jobs overseas. These conglomerates have become more international than American, going where the labor is cheap but the risks great. The requirement for security is escalating and the American people are paying for that through their taxes without any residual benefit to themselves. Globalists see themselves as being citizens of the world and don’t care about anyone’s rights.
It has in the past been neither conservative nor liberal in orientation and both Democrats and Republicans have been involved over the decades.
Basically, it is all about money and power.
The last thing that either political group wants is for conservatives with Bibles and guns asserting their God-given rights and demanding that Washington, D.C., changes how it does business.
