Oh, you were being serious?
Once I saw this I assumed you were making a joke:
First clue, no Purple .
But I can see you point.

I would have gone with a burning American flag, personally. Much more apt.I could have said the flag of the new caliphate.
I don't know that he has a pro or con outlook towards them. I would have to put him at neutral, really. He's doing much of what was done in years past, where they're concerned. Not much change. At least he isn't using them to promote wars, as his predecessor did.According to what I've read, this is because they wanted to recognize Palestine as a state.
Is he anti-U.N. otherwise? I can't find info much regarding his general stance on the U.N.
In a way there are parallels to what I am saying... candidates getting elected under a false banner and delivering statism.So, Rambone, if Newt is Fascism wrapped in an American flag, is Obama Communism wrapped in a..a what. a burning American flag, a peace flag?
I personally see Newt as a committed, driven patriot and an invaluable national resource. His standing in history will be on par with the founding fathers.

Obama got elected under the premise of less war, but has gone out of his way to start new wars and enhance the domestic Police State. Peace and civil rights was his false banner. He brought fascism.
Now we have Gingrich, with a track record that should appall most any of us. He's running on being a principled conservative, when his record shows the exact opposite. The complicit media perpetuates that myth. We have been deceived. We cannot be unwilling to let ourselves admit that we have a statist in our midst.
And the media mind control has been so effective that we have people saying stuff like this...
Ben Franklin: Those who would trade essential liberty for security deserve neither.
Newt Gingrich: Let government keep you safe and secure, or else we'll lose a city!
Are you just trying to pick a fight?
This is a thread about Gingrich's policies. If you don't want to discuss them, then...don't discuss them. I won't be offended.
But back on topic: these aren't discussions about someone's platforms. These are bait traps so the some can proselytize how superior they are to every one else for using a different standard to evaluate candidates.
In an unusual operation conceived by Speaker Newt Gingrich, the Central Intelligence Agency is to mount a $18 million covert action to change the nature of the Government of Iran. The operation has not started, but the counteroffensive has.The directive became public here and in Iran three months ago -- long before it became law. Now the C.I.A. finds itself required, against its better judgment, to plan a "secret" mission, with its cover already blown, in a region where American policy has suffered failures and fiascos.
The money for the mission was included in a secret bill passed on Dec. 31 that authorizes intelligence spending for this year. Iran reacted to its passage almost immediately: On Jan. 6, it proclaimed that three Iranians jailed on charges of spying for the United States would be sentenced to death.
On Tuesday, Iran's Parliament announced a $20 million operation "to counter the Great Satan" and combat the American plan.
The history of the C.I.A. in Iran includes sponsoring the 1953 coup that installed Shah Riza Pahlevi; the 1979 revolution, in which fundamentalists toppled the Shah, seized the American Embassy and the C.I.A. station for 444 days and painstakingly pieced together the agency's shredded files; and the secret arms deals of a decade ago, in which the C.I.A. helped ship missiles to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the Revolutionary Guards.
List updated:

Yeah, Newt, the big tough hawk. Skipping his turn to go to war but jumping at every chance to send others to die, meddling in the affairs of other countries and stirring up hatred and blowback for the U.S.And I can only assume you see this as a negative about Newt? Now I'm confused. You are a Dove with a bone to pick with Hawks?

No wonder Iran is bitter towards us. Imagine if some foreign country orchestrated multiple overthrows of the U.S. Government. Now Newt is clamoring for war with Iran once again.
Maybe we need Newt's Fairness Doctrine to mandate that the Iranian side of the story be told.
That portion of the world was nucking futs long before Newt was even a gleam in his Mamma's eye.
This circle jerk is tiring, good night.
Yeah but we did'nt draw thier attention untill Newt started his monkey business.That portion of the world was nucking futs long before Newt was even a gleam in his Mamma's eye.
This circle jerk is tiring, good night.
I think this is going to happen no matter who the top three are and it may involve outside parties.Newt has now passed Cain in at least one poll for second place. It looks like it may come down the Newt vs Romney. Or perhaps a brokered convention.

It is better than Socialism or civil unrest/war, which are both looming on the horizon.
