Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is the same kind of fear monger as was J Edgar Hoover, who had a plan in 1950 to arrest, without habeas corpus, 12,000 people who "might" be dangerous.

http://tinyurl.com/384lz7 (Hoover wanted President Harry S. Truman to proclaim the mass arrests necessary to "protect the country against treason, espionage and sabotage." The F.B.I would "apprehend all individuals potentially dangerous" to national security, Hoover's proposal said. The arrests would be carried out under "a master warrant attached to a list of names" provided by the bureau.)

Gingrich is also like the authoritarian Abraham Lincoln, who ordered American troops, yes, soldiers, the same kind of soldiers every country puts into a hero category, (Just following orders mamn!) into Maryland, arrested citizens without habeas corpus, to keep the Marylanders from deciding their own fate.

Here is another George Orwell quote I like. "All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting".

The other side has their Newts. The other side argues the Christians are going to take over the world. True or not, their speakers have plenty of evidence to incite their followers; The Christian USS Vincennes shoots down an unarmed Iranian airliner killing Iranian women and children. The Christian soldiers invade and occupy a small Muslim nation. Christian soldiers kill thousands of Muslims. Muslim men are humiliated by Christian women soldiers at Abu Grhaib. Christian missionaries are spreading all over the world and into the Muslim countries. It is easy to see why the Muslims would think Christians are trying to take over the world. With these policies it makes one wonder if they are intentionally done to get the angry Muslims to attack us, so we can have perpetual war for perpetual peace.

Newt Gingrich's popularity fell to 28%! His own Congressional republicans dumped him as their leader in 1997. Since 9/11 Gingrich has risen like a Phoenix, literally, from the ashes of the World Trade Center. He makes up to $50k per speech, giving about 60 per year, peddling his aphorisms. http://tinyurl.com/2rgg4s He has authored and co authored several books. Speaker Gingrich, like others before him, has gotten very rich by exploiting our fears. Fear sells better than telling people everything is fine.

Never having served in the military, Newt rides on the coat tails of his dad, who did serve, implying being an army brat is the same as serving. He thought his motivational speeches and serving as an army brat would actual propel him to the White House.

I agree with Newt that the world is in trouble. It seems like it was always so. From the time Adam and Eve tarnished the Garden of Eden, (they could not be content) the world has been in trouble.

Long after Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden to start an empire, Peter the Hermit, a radical, started the crusades, and the world was still in trouble.

Since our country was founded there have been troubles brewing; sin from drinking led to prohibition, there were the blacks that were trouble, the "redskins", the Spaniards, the "Limeys".

The more modern troubles were the; "Huns", "Gooks", "Reds", and now the Islamist fascists.

I agree there are dangerous radicals afoot. I think there are many Muslims who would like one world of Islam. They will not succeed. How we deal with foreign threats from Muslims and others is open for debate.

I am not sympathetic to Muslim zealots. However, I believe there are more cost effective ways to deal with the threats. We certainly need to be cost effective to put some sound financial management back into our federal government.

Fortunately we can debate among ourselves about our policies. Those who are invaded and occupied probably do not want to debate us. Ask a young Muslim man to debate with his conqueror? Forget it. He would rather die an honorable death and get 72 virgins!

Another Orwell quote,- "Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear".

Islam will not take over the world. Women and their cats will rule the world.:-)
