Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 30, 2011

Newt Gingrich, lapsed adulterer and impenitent warmonger,http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/27/gingrich-wouldnt-vote-for-ron-paul/?iref=allsearch has presumed to excommunicate Ron Paul and his supporters from the ranks of human decency.

"I think Ron Paul's views are totally outside the mainstream of virtually every decent American," insisted Gingrich in a CNN interview. Although Gingrich alluded to the manufactured controversy over decades-old newsletters published by Dr. Paul that contained supposedly offensive material dealing with matters of political correctness, Gingrich?s genuine complaint ? which he has reiterated on many occasions ? is that Dr. Paul seeks to end America?s interventionist foreign policy and avoid needless foreign wars.

Gingrich has also dismissed Dr. Paul?s constituency as being limited to ?people who want to legalize drugs.? [Unlike Gingrich ? who used narcotics as a young adult ? Ron Paul has never used them nor condoned their use, while understanding that no government has the moral right or constitutional authority to prohibit their use. In 1988 ? at a time when, according to Gingrich and his other detractors, Paul was peddling racist propaganda ? Dr. Paul was denouncing the racist roots of the so-called War on Drugs.]

Gingrich, on the other hand, has endorsed the execution of first-time drug offenders who possess trivial amounts of narcotics.

For Gingrich and other proto-totalitarians, decency is supposedly measured by one?s desire to kill and oppress other human beings.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
