Newt’s Vet Day Message Overshadows RINO Support

I was a bit miffed with Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich’s support of RINO Dede Scozzafava over Conservative Party Doug Hoffman in the New York State House race in District 23. Gingrich attempted to salvage his stand for Party loyalty over Conservative loyalty when Scozzafava dropped out. At that time Gingrich endorsed Hoffman.

Apart of all the Republican Party at all costs mentality, Gingrich has written an awesome Veteran’s Day message. Gingrich praises civilian police officer Sgt. Kimberly Munley for not waiting for back-up taking down fifth column Muslim terrorist Major Nidal Hasan after being wounded.

Newt proceeds to praise other incidence of American heroism stretching from the fall of the Berlin Wall to roughly 1776.

It is this phrase that I found to ring sadly true with the present American government:

“Hero” is not a word we use a lot these days. We have a media dedicated to destroying, not showcasing, greatness. We have popular culture determined to celebrate victimhood rather than heroism. And we have a regime in Washington that seems more at home with international autocrats and dictators than America and its heroes.

But the inescapable fact of America is this: Ours is a country founded and defended, not by conciliation and sophisticated diplomatic gestures, but by honor, bravery and sacrifice.

Our heroes are not incidental to our nationhood but an essential part of it. Why? Because America is not, contrary to what our President believes, merely a nation among nations. We are, on our best days, closer to what Ronald Reagan believed: A shining city on a hill.


“A shining city on a hill” is an honorable way to view America rather than as a nation at fault for all the world’s woes in the 20th and 21st century. Do you not think so as well?
