Gingrich blasts Democratic establishment at annual summit

www.cnn.com...

"We are at a point where our establishment is sliding into policies of such disastrous impact that they will in fact fundamentally challenge the survival of America as we know it," Gingrich said during his speech to the fifth annual Values Voter Summit in Washington.

Yes, but why not acknowledge the serious crippling damage that has been caused by the policies of the GOP?

"On the one front we have a secular socialist machine led by (President) Obama, (House Speaker Nancy) Pelosi, and (Senate Majority Leader Harry) Reid, and on the other front we have radical Islamists who would fundamentally change this country into a system none of us in this room would recognize," he continued to thunderous applause.

I don't see how Obama either Socialist or Secular. If he means by Secular that he does not wish for the government to be involved in stopping the construction of the NYC Mosque then yes. And if he means by Socialist that he support Keynesian Economics and Social Liberalism then yes.

Perhaps the former House Speaker's loudest applause came when he weighed in on the controversial Islamic center and mosque proposed to be built near ground zero, declaring, "We as Americans don't have to tolerate people who are supportive of violence against us, building something at the sight of the violence."

Actually it is not at the sight of the violence it is roughly 3 blocks away and I did not know that all Muslims caused violence against America. Stereotyping is not right, especially not from such a high ranking political figure.

"This is not about religious liberty, they want to build that mosque in the South Bronx, frankly they need the jobs," he said. "But I am totally opposed to any effort to impose Sharia on the United States, and we should have a federal law that says under no circumstance, in any jurisdiction in the United States, will Sharia be used in any court to apply to any judgment made about American law."

So if they want to build it in South Bronx that's okay because that would appease to Fundamentalists such as Newt. I didn't know anyone had to have a reason to build a religious center, so now everyone who wants to build a religious center must go to the government and tell them why they are building it and let the government decide? No thank you.

I didn't know that building an Islamic community center was pushing Sharia Law. I agree Newt, America should not go by Sharia Law but this Islamic center has nothing to do with Sharia.

No one cares what he has to say.

This is why so many establishment douchebags are getting canned.

God, this windbag will never shut up. He's just every other GOP troll and he wouldn't do a damn thing to help this country if elected.
