Friend of Western Civ: Newt Gingrich

One of the most surprising development of recent time is the voice and courage of former speaker of the house, Newt Gingrich. While I've never been a fan of Gingrich, I've become increasingly impressed with his rhetoric concerning the the threat of radical Islam. Here is a blurb I found at Newsmax.com: Newt Gingrich: Iran Eyes 'Second Holocaust'

Excerpt:

"Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Israel is facing the greatest threat to its survival since the Six-Day War in 1967 – and warned that a nuclear-armed Iran would lead to a 'second Holocaust.”

Addressing a security conference in Herzliya, Israel, via a video hookup, Gingrich declared: 'We have enemies who are quite explicit in their desire to destroy us. They say it publicly, on television, on Web sites. We are sleepwalking through this as though it is all a problem of communications, and that somehow diplomacy will enable us to come together and have a wonderful fiesta in which we will all learn to love one another.'"

Amazingly, he is the ONLY political leader I know of, either Democrat or Republican, who is speaking intelligently and urgently about these matters.

Yes, Newt Gingrich is a FRIEND of Western Civilization!
