What kind of society isn’t structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system. -- Milton Friedman

Amen. In fact, in a true free-market system not distorted by discriminatory tax codes, heavy-handed costly regulation that gives larger businesses profound advantages, and other government-generated manipulations, the greediest capitalist GOES DOWN because another capitalist is always there to provide the product or service at a lower price.

Only a fool thinks Newt or Perry are advocating laws against greed. Newt is being a warrior, fighting a despicable enemy, Mitt Romney, who is a statist through and through. ANYONE HERE who doesn't see that, as Thomas Sowell himself has said, it would be MUCH better to have Gingrich than big government liberal statist Romney, needs to wake up.

Gingrich is doing what needs to be done to TAKE ROMNEY DOWN. And there are people here who find the process just too unsavory ... they're just too squeamish ... so they attack Gingrich because they don't like the way he's going about taking down Romney. Boo friggin' hoo!

I am CERTAIN that Gingrich would be a hundred times better than Romney in both the presidential election and ultimately in the White House. I think Santorum would be great in the White House, but am less sanguine as to whether he has the sand to take on the Obama Whirlwind.

You folks who are attacking Gingrich for the way he is attacking Romney, are losing sight of the forest for the trees and you are indirectly AIDING AND ABETTING ROMNEY, who is by far the greater threat to America and our freedoms.

For God's sake, WAKE UP!

Godspeed, Newt Gingrich.

Gingrich is the Big Government statist guy who has been feeding at the government trough all his life. He thinks government can provide the solutions to our problems. He is an inside the Beltway influence peddler who used his position to gain wealth. He supports amnesty. He supports a "robust guest worker program."

Kerry-Gingrich “debate” on Global Warming

At one point, Gingrich said, "We're not arguing over whether it [a plan to fight global warming] should be urgent. We're arguing over whether bureaucracy and litigation is a better way to be urgent or whether science and technology translated by entrepreneurs into products is a better way to be urgent."

Finally, Kerry relented. "I'm excited to hear you talk about the urgency," he said. But "what would you say to Senator [Jim] Inhofe [R-Okla.] and to others in the Senate who are resisting even the science?"

Gingrich didn't hesitate. "My message," he said, "is that the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon loading of the atmosphere." The pro-Kerry crowd applauded.

"And do it urgently?" the senator pressed.

"And do it urgently, yeah," the former speaker replied. "I think there has to be, if you will, a green conservatism," he added.

GINGRICH: No. But we do agree our country must take action to address climate change.

PELOSI: We need cleaner forms of energy and we need them fast.

GINGRICH: If enough of us demand action from our leaders, we can spark the innovation we need.
