Yep, it's pretty clear that Newt is going to run for President.
Not nearly as overly-dramatic as most of the things that Newt and other conservatives have produced over the last 18 months. But the basics are all there: there's only three people that run government and craft policy - Pelosi, Reid, and Obama, unions are bad but conservatives want to protect the right to form one - the false "card check" narrative, only the Tea Baggers are "real" Americans, and everything the Obama administration has done is "radical" - despite the fact that he has governed more from a center-right position than the center-left position he campaigned on.
But what struck me as completely misplaced what Newt's claim that at no point, so far as he can think of, have Americans been in such danger. I mean, after all, WWII, the Great Depression, the threat of nuclear attacks on the US in the 60s, and getting attacked on Sept. 11th were dealt with so easily weren't they.
So here's my challenge to Newt or any other conservative that cares to respond: what freedoms or liberties have you lost since Obama took office?
A Blog Version Of The Inside Of My Head. The place where politics, film, the media, music, pop culture, and random topics collide in an orgy of neo-philisophical randomness that would make your mother scream.
