Glenn Beck characterized Newt Gingrich as a big government "progressive" in the Teddy Roosevelt mold during a radio interview. Beck criticized Gingrich for his support for government initiatives to expand healthcare and curb global warming.

It was a label that Gingrich embraced, saying that in the area of healthcare, "I'm a Theodore Roosevelt Republican and I believe government can lean in the regulatory leaning is okay," according to the transcript of the Glenn Beck radio show.

It quit raining and the sun is shining but it's cold. However, it'll do! :-)

Careful chopping that firewood!

You calling me a liberal? Like Giuliani, I believe that the woman has a right to choose, now matter how badly I disagree. Like Giuliani, I believe that if the state votes to approve homosexual marriage, so be it, and, again, no matter how much I disagree. I believe that if you check, Giuliana is permitted to take mass. I do not believe that Pelosi is.

Jim: You have become so doctrinaire that FR is no longer a home for thinking conservatives. It is the cave where arch-reactionaries meet. Why do you think you have so much trouble meeting your quarterly collection? I have posted over the years as Gaspar, Balthazar and Melchior and I guess it is now time to leave.

Gee, if only Jim would run "his site" to suit you Giuliani conservatives instead of being so doctrinaire our Quarterly collections would be met in a snap! How about that!

All you pro-abortion retreads could donate under all previous screen names! Woo-Hoo!

P.S.Melchior: It's called Communion and Pelosi is permitted to partake. The Catholic Church needs to buck-up.

Especially when yo consider that there isn't a bit of difference between a Guiliani "conservative and a Clinton liberal:

You calling me a liberal? Like Giuliani Hillary, I believe that the woman has a right to choose, now matter how badly I disagree. Like Giuliani Hillary, I believe that if the state votes to approve homosexual marriage, so be it, and, again, no matter how much I disagree.

See, the retread troll's statement still works.

I have enjoyed your generally moronic responses. For onyx I am a “pro-abortion”retread; and nothing could be farther from the truth. I certainly am not pro-abortion. As for being retread, I don’t know precisely what that means. DJmac implies that I am weak on Marxism and don’t “fight it.” In my personal life, books, at the University, and from my student days in Berkeley I have never ceased to fight Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Maoism-Castrois, etc. Wagglebee claims I am a “troll” and I “openly support” the homosexual agenda. Both claims are laughable, and far from the truth. According to the idiotic and false claim espoused by xzins, “by my [own] words I am a pro-abortion, pro-gay poster.” You people should get together and start your own party. Although the title has already been used, I would suggest you call yourselves the Know-Nothings.

By your own words you say you are pro-choice on abortion. By your own words you say you believe access to gay marriage should be granted on a state-by-state basis.

Pro-choice IS pro-abortion.

Pro-state gay marriage is still pro-gay marriage.

Those are your words. Do you wish to retract them?

Here is what YOU wrote in post #67:

This puts YOU in exactly the same boat as every pro-abortion liberal out there.

DJmac implies that I am weak on Marxism and don’t “fight it.” In my personal life, books, at the University, and from my student days in Berkeley I have never ceased to fight Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Maoism-Castrois, etc.

Well, I would say that your views in favor of abortion and homosexual "marriage" certainly demonstrate that you are fighting FOR the left.

Wagglebee claims I am a “troll” and I “openly support” the homosexual agenda.

Trust me, there are plenty of other adjectives that I would like to use to describe you, but Jim would disapprove.

According to the idiotic and false claim espoused by xzins, “by my [own] words I am a pro-abortion, pro-gay poster.”

Yes, by YOUR OWN WORDS, this has been well-established on this thread.

Bless yer heart and thank you very much for your reply to us....LOL.

We’re already together and have no need to start our own party like you suggested, but I like your title as you called it: “the Know-Nothings.”

Stupid is as stupid does. Keep posting. Life is just a box of chocolates, right, Gaspar, Balthazar and Melchior?

Did Melchior/Gaspar/Balthazar ever explain the reason for having three screen names? Was he previously zotted? Perhaps here?

LOL...WOW...

How do you explain Newt.inc on K-Street taking in over 100 million in lobby dollars to get Obamacare passed?????

Wake up...he’s a freaking politician he is going to say exactly what you want to hear.

Look at his record...look at the over 400 bills he freaking co-sponsored with Nancy Pelosi!!!

We have to stop listening to what politicians say they are going to do and start looking AT EXACTLY what they have done.

I’ve seen those hysterical numbers bandied about. $100 million dollars in consulting fees and the 400 bills co-sponsored with Nancy Pelosi.

Please provide links to official documents that support your accusations (and that he lobbied FOR Obamacare).

Thank you.

Actually Newt himself made about 1.6 million off the deal. Newt.inc on K-Street handled over 100 million in lobbying dollars to get obamacare passed.

Newt is a supporter of government healthcare...he has said it many times.

really hysterical. Why don’t you do your own homework and learn the truth? We have a responsibility to save this country.

BTW...little hint you can start with the Library of Congress THOMAS database to find the bills. The accurate number is 418 bills - its not hysterical at all...its pathetic!!!

Also he was a huge lobbyist for Freddie Mac...over $37 million there.

Another hint you can find out about Newts lobbying work on Obamacare if you search Newt and The Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare). Pharmaceutical companies paid him boat loads.

How about death panels and good old Newt...check out his relationship with Gundersen Lutheran - huge paying client to get medicare reimbursement for discussing end of life scenarios with patients. Newt’s father died there in 2006.

Of course publicly Newt voiced a different opinion about this when the death panel discussion was all the rage...but his checkbook and actions EXPOSE the truth.

Of course you probably would watch a “secret” tape of Newt discussing all of this and you would dismiss it as some hysterical account...

Sorry man...it isn’t a right to choose. A woman has a right to choose long before she gets knocked up of course there is the assault/rape exception but this is murder...PERIOD.

50+ million the progressives in this country are trying to top Stalin and Mao. You just don’t get it. We are witnessing the same tyranny over and over again...they just masquerade it now as “your right” or “we are protecting you”...

Look at the financial collapse? Look at the culling of the herd with abortion...

You think these have anything to do with rights and protecting you. They are just trying to ascertain the same goals as any good centralized managed population.

Sheeple...sheeple...sheeple...

There is no name "Balthazar". But if it was banned, it wouldn't show up.

There is a gaspar. Their last post was September 18, 2006.
