Really??? That is one very superficial list of "negatives."

"1979 Voted to create the Department of Education, under President Jimmy Carter"

The Dept of Ed. for which Newt voted was not the huge bureaucratic nightmare that it has since become. It was primarily charged with oversight and raising standards of education in America. Much has occurred since then and much has been added.

"1990 Becomes member of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)"OMG! Never say it! LOL! Somebody call Lew Rockwell! We must burn Newt at the stake. /rolleyes Not the old BilderbergBrettonWoodsNewWorldOrderCouncilonForeignRelationsFreeMasonsIlluminatiPrincePhilipRothschildsSkullandBonesBritishMonarchyBohemianGroveTri-LateralCommission argument.

"1995 The liberal establishment Time Magazine names Newt Gingrich their 'Man of the Year'"

Your not serious. You can't be. You do know that other men of the year have been Sir Winston Churchill,Dwight Eisenhower (twice), Richard Nixon (twice), the Apollo 8 Astronauts, Ronald Reagan (twice), GWH Bush, GW Bush, and The American Soldier--truly a rogues gallery if ever I've seen one. Another eye-roller.

Your screed is a pathetic superficial list of some fact, many half-truths, out of context examples and implied guilt by association, something I would expect to find on Alex Jones or Lew Rockwell's, or Michael Rivera's conspiracy websites.

Please, we (most of us, at least) are all adults here. We don't believe in fantasies and we don't by conspiracy theories, thank you very much.

The Federal government has NO BUSINESS being involved in education in any way. That is a state matter.
