Newt Gingrich Declares: "I Am Not A Citizen Of The World!"

Newt Gingrich Declares: "I Am Not A Citizen Of The World!"

This evening at a Washington DC fundraiser, in a statement that can best be described as regressive American exceptionalism, former Republican Speaker Newt Gingrich said of himself:
"I am not a citizen of the world. I think the entire concept is intellectual nonsense and stunningly dangerous!"

Clearly Gingrich's "I'm not a citizen of the world" is a slam on Obama after the President's recent Mid-East & Europe tour. But undermining Obama's global popularity won't alter the fact that Gingrich could never achieve such acceptance. In the ever blending global arena, Gingrich is consistently bland.

Mr. Gingrich, if you are NOT a citizen of this world, then stay the eff out of it. Go back where you were ten years ago when you were forced from the House in disgrace.

BRAVO!

The Rs are a bunch of little babies throwing a tantrum. "If we can't run the world then we're not a part of it!" hmpph

Apparently Gingrich tried to pass the death penalty for cannabis smokers in the 90s. Hopefully he'll run in 2012 preferably with Palin as his veep candidate.

I can't get over how the Repubes are so unforgiving with Newter and his discretions.

Perhaps I should research it and put up a gentle reminder. :)
