Ann Coulter on Newt Gingrich — He’s Not What We Want

Posted on by

I am troubled by Newt Gingrich. It seems the more that I learn about him, the more I don’t like him for the GOP Nomination.

I think a lot of it has to do with the flip-flopping and the people he hangs out with. He really is quite the insider when it comes to Washington, and I don’t really hear him wanting less government and more freedoms. He seems to be sold out on the idea that the government is just the right size, and that seems to say that he is not a true conservative.

Then there is this article by Ann Coulter, that shows small government is definitely not what Newt is about. Apparently he has been following Alvin and Heidi Toffler who are a couple of New-Age gurus opposed to technology and the way America has become with the advancement of technology in our lives. The Toffler’s, according to Coulter, are just too perplexed by the complexities of the VCR and have been preaching their New Age dogma against it ever since. Sad to say, Newt has become a Toffler acolyte.

The Tofflers were a couple of old folks who couldn’t figure out how to program their VCRs, so they began writing about the “shock” of technology and how we needed government planning to deal with technological overload.

Their big idea was that the world was about to change faster than it ever had before, creating a technological explosion that would frighten and baffle the masses — much like the bewildering VCR clock. The government would have to have advisers and committees in order to ease the transition.

The facts are nearly the exact opposite. In the first half of the 20th century, we got widespread use of the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, electricity, radio and television, indoor plumbing, air conditioning and refrigeration, the computer, nuclear power and rockets.

All we got in the second half of the 20th century were some improvements on one of those inventions — the computer — with the personal computer, the Internet and the iPhone. (Boomers were more focused on acid trips than space trips and dropped the ball on the hard work of pushing scientific progress forward.)

Far from needing government agencies to help us “cope” with these advances — “Scientific Futurists,” a “Technology Ombudsman” and a “Council of Social Advisers,” as proposed by the Tofflers — the masses have taken to these improvements like fish to water.

The Tofflers’ recommendation that children be eased into the coming technological revolution with adult mentors sounds like the proposal of Clinton’s surgeon general, Joycelyn Elders, that schools teach teenagers to masturbate. In both subject areas, the children can teach their elders a few tricks.

Not only was it completely crazy, but Newt’s grand schemes didn’t quite fit the Republican model of a small, unintrusive federal government.

This is not the Newt that is put forth by the MSM.

Pakistan was Blind to What They Didn’t Want to See!

It really is hard to say that Pakistan is our ally. They were not trying very hard to find Osama bin Laden, even though he was right under their noses. My guess is that they were laughing at us the entire time OBL was living there, all six years of it. It was probably the inside joke for many in their intelligence department.

“Ha ha! Those stupid Americans. They couldn’t find OBL even if we told them! Ha ha!”

So now they scream about sovereignty and all. It would probably do Pakistani some good to remember it’s better to tell the truth than to lie. They could have just said: “We are not your allies! We like OBL. He’s living here as a faithful, Pakistani citizen. Now leave us alone.”

But I guess that national sovereignty would have quickly vanished in another way, shortly after our F-16s started raining down the continual Thousand Points of Light started by Bush 41 in the first wave against terrorism.

Also, allow me to give a portion of Ann Coulter’s view of things. Always worth a chuckle when it’s not so obviously true and painful:

The CIA stepped up the search for Osama bin Laden last week after becoming as sick of royal wedding coverage as the rest of us.

American intelligence operations located Osama by following his trusted couriers, whose names were given up by al-Qaida members during harsh interrogations at CIA black sites under President Bush.

Yes, the same interrogations endlessly denounced by the entire Democratic Party (save Joe Lieberman), the mainstream media, and an especially indignant Jane Mayer in The New Yorker.

The most-wanted terrorist in the world was living in a moldy, million-dollar mansion in a gated community just outside of Islamabad. It took the CIA five years to figure out the four-digit code to get in.

One important missed clue was that Osama was living at 72 Virgins Way. He might still be alive today if only he hadn’t borrowed his neighbor’s shoulder-mounted rocket launcher and never returned it.

Our mighty Navy SEALs not only put a bullet through Osama’s head, but carried off his computers, disks and hard drives. So far, all they’ve revealed is that Osama had multiple Netflix rentals of “Rendition,” “In the Valley of Elah,” “Fahrenheit 9/11″ and “Love Actually.”

Hillbuzz, Ann Coulter and Neil’s Persistent Use of Their Site

Confusing title? Yes, me too… confused… like you. Neil, over at Eternity Matters, continually cites the Hillbuzz, which is a site run by a bunch of gay guys out of Chicago who are… well, turning conservative except for their gayness. In fact, they state on their latest post about Coulter’s latest column that they may just turn straight, except, they would like to know if Coulter has a younger brother.

The gentlemen at Hillbuzz have been reading Coulter for so long that they are now conservative in their politics and know that that the Democratic party has sold them up the river, and has been doing so for years. They are just coming around like many of us have when it comes to politics and policies that effect our nation and protect our nation. The Dems and their strategies for the nation are bankrupt and have always been. Just look at Greece. That is a model, socialist country and they are now bankrupt, financially speaking, and the riots are spreading forth like the change Obama wants. Greece is the end result of the policies that are put forth as the “answer” yet fail so miserably.

Case in point: the storms that hit Tennessee and killed 31 people in Nashville, TN. Hardly any mention in the press. Why? Because there were no riots, no way the left could use the storm to advance their pet causes, no people being taken advantage of. It was one of the worst storms in Tennessee in 75 years, but hardly any press on it. This is simply because there was no way the Left could exploit it for their advantage. Hockey writer Patten Fuqua steps away from his coverage of hockey to write about it in an article entitled: We are Nashville.

A large part of the reason that we are being ignored is because of who we are. Think about that for just a second. Did you hear about looting? Did you hear about crime sprees? No…you didn’t. You heard about people pulling their neighbors off of rooftops. You saw a group of people trying to move two horses to higher ground. No…we didn’t loot. Our biggest warning was, “Don’t play in the floodwater.” When you think about it…that speaks a lot for our city. A large portion of why we were being ignored was that we weren’t doing anything to draw attention to ourselves. We were handling it on our own.

Some will be quick to find fault in the way rescue operations were handled, but the fact of the matter is that the catastrophe could not have been prevented and it is simply ignorant beyond all reason to suggest otherwise. It is a flood. It was caused by rain. You can try to find a face to stick this tragedy to, but you’ll be wrong.

Parts of Nashville that could never even conceivably be underwater were underwater. Some of them still are. Opry Mills and the Opryland Hotel are, for all intents and purposes, destroyed. People died sitting in standstill traffic on the Interstate. We saw boats going down West End. And, of course, we all saw the surreal image of the portable building from Lighthouse Christian floating into traffic and being destroyed when cars were knocked into it. I’m still having trouble comprehending all of it.

And yet…life will go on. We’ll go back to work, to school, to our lives…and we’ll carry on. In a little over a month, I’ll be on this website talking about the draft. In October, we’ll be discussing the new Predators’ season with nary a thought of these past few days. But in a way, they changed everyone in this town. We now know that that it can happen to us…but also know that we can handle it.

Because we are Nashville.

The problem is that Dems only give attention to something they can exploit, as the guys/gays over at Hillbuzz have discovered. Gay people are only important to the Dems as long as the Dems can exploit them for their own purposes. Once they are in the fold, they are no longer important. The important things for Dems is to keep the country divided and use those divides and issues to garner more power. I like what Coulter writes about Obama and the attempted bombing in Times Square:

It took Faisal Shahzad trying to set a car bomb in Times Square to get President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to finally use the word “terrorism.” (And not referring to Tea Party activists!)

This is a major policy shift for a president who spent a month telling Americans not to “jump to conclusions” after Army doctor Nidal Malik Hasan reportedly jumped on a desk, shouted “Allahu Akbar!” and began shooting up Fort Hood.

After last weekend, now Obama is even threatening to pronounce it “Pack-i-stan” instead of “Pock-i-stahn.” We know Obama is taking terrorism seriously because he took a break from his “Hope, Change & Chuckles” tour on the comedy circuit to denounce terrorists.

In a bit of macho posturing this week, Obama declared that — contrary to the terrorists’ wishes — Americans “will not be terrorized, we will not cower in fear, we will not be intimidated.”

But please note, Obama is all that interested in keeping America safe. His policies are empty, otherwise, he would actually have those who come from Islamic nations screened when they enter an airport. That did not happen with the Times Square suspect. In fact, he made it on the plane to head to the United Emirates even though his name is on a “no-fly” list. Do you feel safe with the Dems in power? The guys as the Hillbuzz don’t, and neither should you. All the more reason to becoming a conservative. Thanks Neil, for your use of their blog. It has been helpful.

Ann Coulter Threatened by the Left and Denied Right to Speak

I know, redundant title. The Left is never truly about free speech. They only want free speech when it allows some perverted artist to display his perverted affections in public. But when someone coehertly refutes their easily refutable arguments, as Ann Coulter does, they have to resort to violence to do so. She was to speak at the University of Ottawa, but students there, in a show of open mindedness, decided to protest and threaten here well being.
Here is what was posted on Foxnews on Wednesday:

“It would be physically dangerous for Ann Coulter to proceed with this event,” said conservative political activist Ezra Levant inside the hall. “This is an embarrassing day for the University of Ottawa and their student body . . . who chose to silence her through threats and intimidation.”

A protest organizer, international studies student Mike Fancie, said he was pleased they were able to stop Coulter from speaking.

“What Ann Coulter is practicing is not free speech, it’s hate speech,” he said. “She’s targeted the Jews, she’s targeted the Muslims, she’s targeted Canadians, homosexuals, women, almost everybody you could imagine.”

None of these accusations against her are true. But let’s not let the facts get in the way of real and true hate speech, that which targets conservatives and seeks to silence through intimidation. Anyone who is a conservative has faced this before. I did just the other day on Facebook. I was discussing the jobs bill that Obama signed with some liberals and the next thing I know, I was being called names and told I was completely ignorant. My adversaries were not interested in the merits of my arguments and could not refute them or answer my questions. So they simply attacked me.
That is all that is happening with Coulter. The Left does a terrible job explaining their positions and so they have to silence Coulter because she a threat to their foolishness. I found the below clip at Wintery Knight. There are about six more posted there if you would like to listen to them all. But the entire show gave Coulter a chance to refute all the claims the left makes against her about being anti women, anti Muslim, etc.

Round Up!

Just a few things around the web worth looking at.

Rush Limbaugh – The first is part one and two of Sean Hannity’s interview with Rush Limbaugh. I challenge any liberal that comes to this page, I only know of one, to watch both videos in their entirety.

Part One

Part Two

Ann Coulter — Nails the left and their outcries about the death of late-term abortionist George Tiller. In her article, 49 million to 5, she writes the following:

So in a country that is more than 50 percent pro-life — and 80 percent opposed to the late-term abortions of the sort performed by Tiller — only five abortionists have been killed. And in a country that is less than 0.5 percent Muslim, several dozen Muslims have killed thousands of Americans.

But the killing of about one abortionist per decade leads liberals to condemn the entire pro-life movement as “domestic terrorists.” At least liberals have finally found some terrorists they’d like to send to Guantanamo.

Tiller bragged about performing 60,000 abortions, including abortions of viable babies, able to survive outside the mother’s womb. He made millions of dollars performing late-term abortions so gruesome that only two other abortionists — not a squeamish bunch — in the entire country would perform them.

Kansas law allows late-term abortions only to save the mother’s life or to prevent “irreversible physical damage” to the mother. But Tiller was more than happy to kill viable babies, provided the mothers: (1) forked over $5,000; and (2) mentioned “substantial and irreversible conditions,” which, in Tiller’s view, apparently included not being able to go to concerts or rodeos or being “temporarily depressed” on account of their pregnancies.

In return for blood money from Tiller’s profitable abattoir, Democrats ran a political protection racket for the late-term abortionist.

This is the point of the post where I don’t comment on what should have happened to Tiller. The unjust death he imposed on thousands and the death he suffered are not equal. His killer was far more gracious towards him, than he was towards the thousands of children he brutalized.

NOT that I’m for vigilantism, but alas… God’s will was done.

Nukes for Iran, but Not for Us — IBD had an excellent editorial on the irony of the administration’s policy to allow Iran to be nuked, but not us.

We prattle on about nuclear power being costly and nuclear waste being a danger without a safe place to store it even as we shut down Yucca Mountain, a perfectly safe place to store it. We place all sorts of regulatory and environmental impediments in its way.

Why is nuclear power a viable energy source for Iran but not for America?

The DNA of Liberals

I know that Ann Coulter is quite controversial, but she does have a way of putting things into perspective. In her latest column, Let’s All Surrender Our Weapons — You First!, she makes a wonderful observation about liberals and their constant calls to remove our Second Amendment rights, by taking our guns. She writes:
It’s something in liberals’ DNA: They think they can pass a law eliminating guns and nuclear weapons, but teenagers having sex is completely beyond our control.

I found the quote humorous. It shows the utter inconsistency of the lefts thinking that in one area in our lives, we can have laws that would eliminate guns and weapons, but for our teenagers, we can’t have any laws against immoral sex, because they are just dogs anyway.

The real inconsistency in the thinking of many is that more laws will actually change our society at all. Only turning back to God as a whole will ultimately change our society. As long as the true gospel is ignored… well, I’ve said this before. It starts in our pulpits and in our own hearts.

Coulter: Pit Bull. Matt Lauer: Poodle!

I just love this. I found this over at Rivka’s site and had to post it. It’s Ann Coulter being interviewed by Matt Lauer. It had to be the longest 9 minutes of Lauer’s life. She was all over him like a pit bull on a poodle. This is what I love about Coulter. She does to the MSM what we all want to do to them, actually be hard them and not let them get away with their puffery.

BTW, I couldn’t resist posting this excerpt from her book that I found on Townhall.com. It’s priceless.

When the Obama family materialized, the media was seized by a mass psychosis that hadn’t been witnessed since Beatlemania. OK! magazine raved that the Obamas “are such an all-American family that they almost make the Brady Bunch look dysfunctional.” Yes, who can forget the madcap episode when the Bradys’ wacky preacher tells them the government created AIDS to kill blacks!

Still gushing, OK! magazine’s crack journalists reported: “Mom goes to bake sales, dad balances the checkbook, and the girls love Harry Potter” — and then the whole family goes to a racist huckster who shouts, “God damn America!”

Months before network anchors were interrogating vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on the intricacies of foreign policy, here is how NBC’s Brian Williams mercilessly grilled presidential candidate Barack Obama: “What was it like for you last night, the part we couldn’t see, the flight to St. Paul with your wife, knowing what was awaiting?”

Twisting the knife he had just plunged into Obama, Williams followed up with what has come to be known as a “gotcha” question: “And you had to be thinking of your mother and your father.” Sarah Palin was memorizing the last six kings of Swaziland for her media interviews, but Obama only needed to say something nice about his parents to be considered presidential material.

Another Take on the Bailout!
I haven’t been writing a lot on the bailout, or politics, or other things just because there has been so much to write about, I can’t decide what part of the elephantine pie to jump off into. One such subject that has been really overwhelming is the bailout of Wall Street. I trust so little of what I read on the subject. But one recent editorial on it, from Investors Business Daily, did catch my eye. They ARE supporting the bail out, even though it is ugly. This really surprised me when I saw it. I wanted to share it with you because they DO have a point.

From IBDeditorials:

It’s clear that rescue by committee isn’t, as President Bush described it, very “pretty.” The plan emerging from Congress looks needlessly complex, like a Rube Goldberg device. And yet, the clock is ticking; every day a rescue is put off is a day we edge closer to the financial abyss.

That’s why we again call on Congress to move quickly to pass this legislation. Sure, the stuff they’ve hung on this Christmas tree is unsightly. But the basic rescue bill is needed, even vital.

And no, it’s not a “bailout for Wall Street,” as popularly repeated. Average Americans have yet to feel the full force of what a credit crisis means. Once they do, they won’t like it a bit. A credit crisis doesn’t just mean banks stop lending to one another, or call in loans from Wall Street “fat cats.” It means you might not get the credit you need to pay for a car, a home or a child’s education.

It means many medium to large companies will not be able to go into the money market to finance their daily operations. Those that can’t will be forced to pull back on expansion, slash investments across the board, reduce their purchases, maybe shut down marginal businesses and lay off workers.

All this could cascade into a deep economic downturn that will last years. The victims, however, won’t be gazillionaires on Wall Street. It’ll be you. That’s why, despite IBD’s impeccable free-market credentials, we support the rescue plan. Time for taking effective action is running short .

It may be good if this bill fails to pass, simply because we are far too dependent upon credit. It would be good in the long run. But if it doesn’t pass, we need to expect difficult times ahead. Again, I’m not saying I want that. Yet, we must concede that we have grown very soft over the past several decades. We have grown accustomed to demanding our goodies now! This is far different than our grandparent’s generation. They saved up if they wanted something. We don’t save anything. We go into debt if we want something. That cannot be good. That means eventually, we are owned by those whom we are in debt.

Passing this bill will be good if we want the status quo. But I’m not sure that is what is best for us. Read the rest of the IBD editorial here.

Ann Coulter’s Take
Ann Coulter has an excellent take on the treatment Sarah Palin receives from the press, versus the pass that Biden has been receiving. Had Sarah made these mistakes, the press would have “potatoed” her like they did Dan Quale. She writes:

While Gov. Sarah Palin is being grilled on her position on mark-to-market accounting rules, the press can’t bother to ask Joe Biden if he could give us a ballpark estimate on when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president — or maybe take a stab at guessing the decade when televisions were first available to the public.

Being interviewed by Katie Couric on the “CBS Evening News,” Biden said: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.’”

For those of you who aren’t hard-core history buffs, Biden not only named the wrong president during the 1929 stock market crash, he also claimed a president who wasn’t president during the stock market crash went on TV before Americans had TVs.

Other than that, the statement holds up pretty well. At least Biden managed to avoid mentioning any “clean” Negroes he had met.

Piper on Abortion!
As Deanna, from Reviving Mothers, suggested, I looked at Piper’s clip on abortion. Here it is.

Again, I wish that he would stress the imago Dei more clearly, because it not only speaks of the child, but all mankind. We are made in the image of God, this is why each person has value, and why taking the life of that person unjustly is murder. Even the person who wrongly believes in abortion, has value. When they lose their value is when they take the life of the innocent, which is what the abortionist does. At that point, they have violated the Sixth Commandment of God, Thou Shall Not Murder, and because the child has worth and value, being made in the image of God, the abortionist needs to be put to death: Genesis 9:5-7.

But the state needs to bring that about. Please don’t think I’m advocating vigilante forces to rise up and deal with the abortionist. We don’t act where the states doesn’t on this issue. Our weapons are not swords, flesh and blood, but the Spirit of God, and His word. Let us use the weapons He has given us in this battle because these weapons have the power to convert the abortionist. This is far better than the guillotine.
