You can watch the video at the “Newt 2012” link.
Say what you will about the Newtster, there is no question that he believes in “American Exceptionalism” and that he is a patriot, unlike the the current holder of the White House.
Newt begs a comparison between himself and Washington by putting this video out. In that regard the video is an epic fail because while Newt Gingrich does have some intellectual comparisons with George Washington that is all he has.
Newt has no Martha Washington. Newt has no following that will stand with him through any battle. Newt does not have the absolute love of his countrymen. Unlike Washington Newt does not have the love of country first nor does Newt look at the Republic as something to serve. Instead, very unlike George Washington Newt Gingrich sees the Republic as a piggy bank from which to fill his pockets. Nobody would ever expect Newt Gingrich to give up his wealth for the rest of us. Nor risk his life without concern or thought about his own personal self.
As someone who has read extensively about George Washington I know that without question he is someone that we should all emulate. His love of God and country was as solid as the sunrise. Washington believed that there was an invisible hand looking out over this nation.
Newt has brought up a significant historical marker this Christmas season but not one that I needed pointed out. By bringing that marker up he errors because Newt is terribly lacking when it comes to any moral comparison to Washington. Newt is no George Washington.
With all that said any comparison of Obama to Washington puts Newt Gingrich in a place so far above Obama that Newt cannot be seen by the naked eye. Obama is a cartoon character compared to Washington. He is nothing. Zero. He is worse than a joke as is any comparison of Martha Washington to Michelle Obama. Using the names of the Obama ass clowns in the same breath as the Washington’s makes me want to puke.
Newt has done a good thing with this video. Some people need to be reminded about George Washington and his love of God and Country. Too many need to be taught this for the first time.
Pray for this nation!
The transcript is cut down quite a bit from a speech he made back in 2009. Many of us have seen this clip before but I will post the link below. I firmly believe this clip is more profound and touching than the video begging for votes. Newt is clearly speaking from the heart and the related material begins just after the 7 minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR2yfsgGYOU&list=FLGC_QO0AFl3LT18EcqRIhvQ&index=7&feature=plpp_video
