Words to Live By

[RainDog]

I don't think I can fit all of this quote into a sig line, so I think I'll just have to post this every few days or kick this thread until I have every word memorized. This is probably the most insightful and profound observation about America today that I have read.

From Candice Gingrich to her brother, Newt:

...The truth is that you're living in a world that no longer exists. I, along with millions of Americans, clearly see the world the way it as -- and we embrace what it can be. You, on the other hand, seem incapable of looking for new ideas or moving beyond what worked in the past.

Welcome to the 21st century, big bro. I can understand why you're so afraid of the energy that has been unleashed after gay and lesbian couples had their rights stripped away from them by a hateful campaign. I can see why you're sounding the alarm against the activists who use all the latest tech tools to build these rallies from the ground up in cities across the country...

...What really worries me is that you are always willing to use LGBT Americans as political weapons to further your ambitions. That's really so '90s, Newt. In this day and age, it's embarrassing to watch you talk like that. You should be more afraid of the new political climate in America, because, there is no place for you in it.

(and yes, I'm sure this has been posted and linked back to Huffpo sometime during the last day or whatever. that's why this is not in lbn.)

1. Forgive my ignorance

but I take it that Newt's sis is a lesbian?

3. seems this is the case

but, to me, her words speak about an entire world view that is dead - the only problem is that the corpses are still walking around like zombies saying the same ole shit.

2. I just saw her the other night on Rachel Maddow's show (I think.)

and I thought she was terrific!
