I will not try and hide my loathing of, or disgust with, Newton Leroy McPherson, who later took the adopted family name of Gingrich. I believe him to be a deeply disturbed Sociopath. If that bias is beyond what you can withstand, do not read the rest of this Post. I am being upfront and honest in my position, however, and my reasons for making this Post should be obvious before you are done reading it.
Newt is running in 2012 as a Candidate for the Office of President of the United States, and as a Member of the Republican Party. Unless you live in a Cave in China, and possibly even then, you have likely seen him making the Conservative version of Quixotic Statements across the Media. And, much like the delusional character Don Quixote, his reality rarely matches the Reality that the rest of us experience.
Many consider Newt to be an extremely gifted Rhetorician. I am not certain that I agree with that assessment, as it is based on the Theory that he actually says things of substance. What he does do very well is hurl insults, and spout Racist and Classist jingoisms. Most of the time when one fact-checks his utterances, one finds that he appears to be experiencing a disconnect from Objective Reality - read in here that he is lying and/or distorting Reality very frequently.
Lest someone begin to get the idea that I am solely opposed to Gingrich based on his Political Party Affiliation, let me ease your Mind by letting you know that I consider Barack Hussein Obama to be a Sociopath as well. Hopefully that will sufficiently annoy everyone enough to establish that I am not basing my dislike of Gingrich on any bias of mine towards the Democratic Party. I loath all Political Parties equally.
What stands out about Newt though, is how emboldened he is to making the most vile and offensive statements one could imagine, without any seeming acknowledgement that he is doing so. One could only imagine that he would be an expert at passing Lie Detector Interviews, as he seems so clearly at ease with Lies, Distortions, Racism, and Classism.
Furthermore, he is a Master of the Indignant Rejoinder. Newt seems to have no problem accusing others of the very things he routinely does. He attacks Mitt Romney with a series of ad hominem statements, then gets indignant when Romney replies in a similar fashion. That is something that one might expect from the immature Mind of an Elementary School Student, but not so much from someone who supposedly has a Doctorate in History, and is asking to become the Supreme Diplomatic Voice for the United States of America.
Newt's disconnect from Reality seems to permeate every area of his Public Service. His Political Platform is a collection of Ideas and Programs that are loosely reminiscent of ideas presented by Adolf Hitler, during his rise to power.
Pay close attention to the section entitled "Hitler's Political Views." The section contains excerpted statements by Hitler himself.
If you are lonely and isolated enough to have time to go through the various Platform Items on Newt's Website, you might be shocked by the number of close similarities between his ideas and those of Adolf Hitler. While he may claim that the differences are substantive, the language he employs is hauntingly familiar. And for a Historian like Gingrich to be using such language, it is downright disturbing.
Now, even if I were inclined to take Newt's use of such language under the Good Faith Assumption that it is meant in most humane and constructive manner possible, which I do not, I would still find it discomforting that he chooses to focus so strongly on clearly divisive issues.
Many many years ago, a young Political Apparatchik in Italy, named Niccolo Machiavelli, wrote a Book that would later become famous as a work of Political Theory: The Prince. To distill down much of what the Book suggests, Machiavelli engages in a rather diabolical treatise about the reasons that Sovereigns (Political Leaders or Rulers) should consider themselves to be "Above the Law" if they are to be effective.
This is clearly the Mindset employed by Newt. If he does not come outright and say this, which he more or less actually does, he implies it in almost every area of his Public Presence.
His actions clearly demonstrate that he is not always interested in how the Letter of the Law reads. Newt has been the subject of Ethics Investigations in the past.
So, for some of us [myself obviously included], the real question we should asking ourselves is: Why is Newton Gingrich actually running for President? Gingrich was forced in the 1990's to admit that he had violated House Ethics Rules. [Go to the Washington Post Story link above for references] Should such violations not exclude him from contention faster than the much touted [and patently false] questionable citizenship of Barack Obama? Are Gingrich and his Supporters employing an Ethical Double-Standard here?
Take note that I have personally avoided the charges of Gingrich cheating on Wives here. Quite honestly, while such information would make for much popular and exploitative mockery of Reality on low-brow Television Shows like Maury Povich or Jerry Springer, it really has little bearing on Newt's ability to perform as President. As much as I dislike the Man, those are Private Issues that should have remained between him, and the Women that he plagued with his presence. If these charges are mentioned in any of the Links above, I can assure you the Reader that the Links were not chosen to highlight those charges.
It is my sincere hope that in making this Post today, that I might at least give those of you considering voting for Newt something new to think about. For those of you who already loathed him, I hope I have given you new information to present to the Morons considering voting for him. Though I personally put little, if any, faith in the Political System of the United States of America, I can honestly say that I believe that electing Newt Gingrich as President could only serve to make the World a far worse place than it already is. He is that horrible.
For those stubborn individuals who believe that I am being unfair to Newt, I invite you to PLEASE do some research on him and his History at your Public Libraries [before he de-funds all of them], and on the Internet. Do not rely solely on your Fox News Resources. [If you like him you MUST be a Fox News watcher - so then why are you reading my Blog?] Find as many different types of sources for information on him as your limited mental capacities can muster. And yes, I am being as insulting and condescending as I possibly can - because you deserve it. If you still like him at that point, PLEASE report to the closest Psychiatric Hospital and demand that they place you on a 24 hour evaluative hold. You are clearly a danger to self and others.
Peace and Compassion to you.
Jeffrey
