And so we're living a life of cowardice, and in that life of cowardice we're sleepwalking into a nightmare
Newt Gingrich speaks to the Jewish National Fund. Too much to quote and do it justice. Seriously: RTWT.
Just look at the movies. Why is it that the bad person is either a right-wing crazed billionaire, or the CIA as a government agency. Go look at the Bourne Ultimatum. Or a movie like the one that George Clooney made, which was an absolute lie, in which it implied that if you were a reformist Arab prince, that probably the CIA would kill you. It's a total lie. We actually have SEALs protecting people all over the world. We actually risk American lives protecting reformers all over the world, and yet Hollywood can't bring itself to tell the truth, (a) because it's ideologically so opposed to the American government and the American military, and (b), because it's terrified that if it said something really openly, honestly true about Muslim terrorists, they might show up in Hollywood. And you might have somebody killed as the Dutch producer was killed.
And so we're living a life of cowardice, and in that life of cowardice we're sleepwalking into a nightmare.
And so we're living a life of cowardice, and in that life of cowardice we're sleepwalking into a nightmare.
For this and so much else - and specifically Iran - Gingrich describes himself as so offended "it's hard for me to express it without sounding irrational." I know the feeling. Word for word. The main front is not in Afghanistan, is not in Iraq. It is here.
