    I say his latest blast, comparing his lobbying with Mitt's capitalism, is abhorrent and illustrative of where his progressive heart really lies.

    Three words:

    WE. TOLD. YOU.

    (Not you, Les. "You" being generic in its usage here.)

    Gingrich is a Big Government statist. When will people freaking wake-up?

    The Blaze misrepresents Gingrich on more than few occasions in that first video. For instance, in those last remarks in that video, Newt is referring to big changes, quite divergent from FDR's New Deal.

    Gingrich's appreciation for FDR doesn't come from agreement with FDR's policies, but rather with FDR's effectiveness, his "Presidency." "FDR was the most effective president of the 20th century," said Newt in that piece, and what he meant was that FDR "got things done." Whether Newt would agree with those "things" is another matter. Gingrich, in his own weird way, is an academic/politician at heart, he appreciates the work of one of history's most successful presidencies, whether you like it or not.

    FDR's administration made us the most powerful nation the world has ever seen. How anyone can't appreciate that is beyond me. The guy's like a modern Augustus, for cryin' out loud.

    As for Gingrich on foreign policy, he's always been for a massive MIC, he hates the commies, drugs, terrorists, whatever. There will always be excuses for hawks to maintain a massive military empire. Heck, it's gone way beyond just the hawks. The MIC is right up there with the banks and big biz when it comes to who's pimping our government these days.

    Newt Gingrich has no great appreciation for the New Deal beyond the great political expertise that went into making it happen. What Newt really appreciates about FDR was his role in WWII.

    The terrible legacy of FDR has nothing to do with the New Deal. Most of the New Deal was inevitable, and FDR was smart enough to expend inevitable things, rather than rigidly holding political stances. It was the establishment of a permanent standing military empire that is the terrible legacy of FDR.

    Perhaps if FDR had lived through his fourth term, things may be very different today, but that great military power he built has now become a multi-trillion dollar albatross that just won't stop flying all over the place.

    We've been fighting the Second World War for 70 years now.

    At what point do we stand down???

    Gingrich wants us to stand there forever. He's an idiot.

    Jersey said: "There will always be excuses for hawks to maintain a massive military empire"

    You are entirely incorrect. There is no empire.

    "... It was the establishment of a permanent standing military empire that is the terrible legacy of FDR."

    The opposite is true. Almost all of the instances of the US being an empire are prior to FDR. Not after.

    Jersey: By that standard, Hitler "got things done" as well.

    What is it with progressives' wet-their-pants admiration for strong men?

    I have a video that analyzes the voting record and actions of former Congressman Newt Gingrich, revealing that Newt is not the conservative he portrays himself to be.

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail. This has been done purposefully following the rancorous 2016 election, and because its Christmas Time, soon to be a New Year.  This posting f...

Is President Obama Really a War Hawk?...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va) Is it reasonable to argue that the President is, in fact a war hawk? Given his significant increase in drone attacks and his unwavering position he does not need Congresses blessing to wake war against ISIS it is reasonable to answer yes to the foregoing question. Senator Tim Kaine, an early supporter of the President thinks he overreaching his authority. ORANGE, Va. — In June, after he had written a scorching opinion article seeking to constrain the president’s unilateral power to make war, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, one of Barack Obama ’s earliest supporters, buttonholed the commander in chief at the White House for what he called “a spirited discussion.” The militants of the Islamic State were pouring across the Syrian border into Iraq, and seizing cities where so much American blood and treasure had been spilled. But Mr. Kaine said he told the president in no uncertain terms that if h...

Are We Americans Capable of Entering Into Rational, Honest, and Productive Discusion Over Sensitive Matters?...

  Rape -  The crime of rape generally refers to non-consensual sexual intercourse that is committed by physical force , threat of injury, or other duress. Common law defined rape as unlawful intercourse by a man against a woman who is not his wife by force or threat and against her will. A sexual predator is a person seen as obtaining or trying to obtain sexual contact with another person in a metaphorically predatory or abusive manner. Pedophilia is considered a paraphilia, an "abnormal or unnatural attraction." Pedophilia is defined as the fantasy or act of sexual activity with prepubescent children.

A Proper Ethical and Moral Code, Has America Lost its Bearings?...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the election draws ever closer it is becoming quite evident We the People are destined to get another screwing no matter which candidate prevails. I find myself just shaking my head and acknowledging the battle for liberties lost and ever again realizing the full natural rights of man is now but a fading and ever more distant dream of what once was. We have slowly and willingly allowed the forces that propelled us to achieve greatness as a people and nation to be turned into a force that will ultimately destroy us. Witnessing the forces at work that have torn, and continue to tear at the philosophical principles this nation was founded on I no longer have the stamina or desire to describe that which should be clear to all. So I will allow another to say it. And say it with clarity, accuracy, and boldness... Man's Rights - If one wishes to advocate a free society-that is, capitalism-one must realize that its...

May PEOTUS Trump Reap That Which He Has Sowed...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth This weblog shares the sentiments of the author of the following open letter to PEOTUS Donald J. Trump. Bob Weidman expresses what nearly 63% of the American people are thinking tonight to one degree or another. Mr. Weidman’s open letter was published in The Huffington Post earlier this evening. Dear Mr. Trump: On the eve of your inauguration, and with all due respect to the office of the Presidency you are soon to hold, the deference you have earned, and the essential decency of the American people: Fuck you, you fucking fuck. I wish there were other words, but these are trying times, and trying times call for honesty, a concept with which you are clearly unacquainted. And I have to say what’s in my heart. So fuck you, you fucking fuck. I am not going to pretend there is anything normal about your presidency. I am not going to pretend that you are entitled to respect. You are entitled to nothing. Not a chance to prove yourself,...

Checking In With Bob Woodward of Watergate Fame...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Bob Woodward, the very same investigative reporter that along with Carl Bernstein was ultimately responsible for bringing down President Richard M. Nixon in the early seventies is reporting the White House is responsible for the looming sequestration. Hm, anybody else hear the scrambling of liberals ardently and strenuously denying Woodward's allegations? What Woodward is reporting is very plausible, in fact it is more likely than not in the world of dirty political gamesmanship. And for those who believe the democrat party is above dirty politics one only needs to harken back to the days of LBJ and Mayor Daley to realize the democrats are primo at dirty politics in the furtherance of their agenda. The Washington Post - Misunderstanding, misstatements and all the classic contortions of partisan message management surround the sequester, the term for the $85 billion in ugly and largely irrational federal spending ...

His True Colors...

Image
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The mark of a desperate campaign and it's candidate. Some might even call it despicable. CINCINNATI — A seemingly offhand utterance from President Obama has turned into a major point of contention between the two campaigns, as Team Obama tries to explain what the president meant when he told a crowd of supporters that “Voting is the best revenge.” It happened in Springfield, Ohio Friday as Obama was discussing the economic policies of the 1990s. When Obama referred to “a Senate candidate by the name of Mitt Romney,” the crowd booed his opponent’s name — certainly not unusual reaction at political rallies of both parties. Then Obama said, “No, no, no — don’t boo, vote. Vote. Voting is the best revenge.” It was an ugly and small-minded moment, especially for the end of a campaign when candidates usually try to stress larger, optimistic themes. Romney incorporated the “revenge” line in his speech in Ohio Fri...
