Journalism is not journalism unless it includes left-wing activism. “All the lies fit to print”

Fox, I’ve found that the most efficient way to break the Left is to stop arguing things the way they want it and do things in the opposite fashion. That’s the only real way to break the back of their power to begin with.

Neo:
This is the way……one wing of the attack on Gingrich will go: he may seem to be an articulate intellectual, but he’s really a stupidhead.And now that Gingrich is officially the Republican frontrunner du jour, Joan Walsh chimes in right on schedule.

It would be Joanie Walsh. You remember Joanie, who was so chagrined that her SATs were the same as that stupidhead of stupidheads: Dubya himself.

Until someone releases evidence that Gingrich drove his car off a bridge and let his mistress drown over 5 hours, because he feared for his political career… I’ll try not to get too worked up over it

“weaponised through their Orwellian hijacking of the language of the centre ground”

This, actually the whole quote, is one of Limbaugh’s central points. He who frames the debate wins. Gingrich is excellent at breaking the frame.

Professor Jacobsen makes a case for Newt:
“Faced with the apparently overwhelming power of the left-wing media and intelligentsia, weaponised through their Orwellian hijacking of the language of the centre ground and their career-ending bullying and intimidation of all who dare to disagree, many conservatives have succumbed to the cultural mind-bending without even realising they have been in effect captured by the enemy.

The reason why Newt Gingrich is striking such a chord is principally because he does realise all this very well, and so delivers a very clear message and the hope of a return to reality. He gives expression, in other words, to an authentic conservative voice. Gingrich is very smart, a serious thinker and a good communicator. He is also extremely tough and resilient. He is without doubt a Big Beast in the political jungle – beside whom Mitt Romney, his chief rival, seems a diminished figure….”

He makes some good points about Newt’s strong and weak points. I’m not totally on board yet. Still watching and evaluating.

Gingrich may not be more trustworthy than Romney, but he is far more entertaining.

Some of y’all would object to thinking of government as reality TV. But if it won’t leave me alone, it should at least amuse me.

“cargo cult politics for cargo cult people”

That’s as good of a description as any for the present state of our society.
