- Michael I suggest you read my initial response a little closer; I pointed out at least three or four examples of where Gutzman was misplaced.
<sigh>
- Kevin Gutzman's facts are completely wrong and off base.
- I've read several of Gingrich's books, and his praise for FDR is somewhat truthful, but so is his criticisms
Nothing above disproves that.
Most liberty minded persons recognize FDR as the third WORST president America has endured.
- .....Gingrich would have been all of 20 years of age during the Goldwater run for the Presidency; so I don't necessarily think he could be faulted for supporting Rockefeller; especially today when Gingrich uses the "Rockefellerian/North-East Corridor/Blue-Bloods" synonymously with the "Pseudo-Intellectual Georgetown Bar Crowd"; and neither term is flattering or endearing.
Nothing above contrary to that.
- Gingrich is a Tea Party conservative, has been and still continues to be a "Washington Outsider". Gingrich has supported the flat tax; and was a Reagan conservative.
Again we see that Tampa Keith's RECOLLECTION is not rooted in REALITY.
NOWHERE did he demonstrate that Gutzman was "misplaced".

"Gingrich has never been a conservative," according to an appraisal in May 2011 by The American Conservative magazine. "Gingrich has rarely, if ever, been for smaller government. He simply believes Republicans can preside over big government more effectively."
“The intellectual level of debate in the Senate and the House is very low, and it’s in that context that Gingrich comes off as more profound than he really is,” Siegel said. “He is the tallest building in Wichita.”
"Some years ago, I was invited to speak at a National Review conference in the government capital. In my talk, I praised our predecessors in the Old Right, who came together in opposition to FDR's domestic fascism and drive to war. Afterwards, in the question period, up pops a furious Newt Gingrich to say, at length, that conservatives must love Roosevelt -- he was Reagan's hero, after all -- and to criticize Franklin or his policies was to risk being written out of the conservative movement. I responded that this is what's wrong with contemporary conservatism: its corporatism and militarism. I never saw Newt again, and I was not invited back.
"Newt is a neocon, i.e., a champion of the corporate state and perpetual war, and a corrupt DC lobbyist of the worst sort. He may talk a good game, once in a while, with Obama in power, but it is all just a partisan trick." -- LHR, Jr.
