Newt Gingrich Calls on Pres. Bush to Declare World War III

The Republicans are scared to death of losing control of Congress and therefore bringing that old-fashioned idea of checks and balances back to the American political system. With a right wing ideologue in the White House and right wing ideologues controlling Congress and the court system populated with right wing ideologues appointed by Pres. Bush and confirmed by the GOP Congress the plain simple truth is that there hasn’t been any checks and balances in America for the past five years or so. Knowing that Bush will still be in the White House for the next two years regardless of who controls Congress, the neocons realize that they may be in danger of losing that precious hold on all those checks and balances come November. Well, of course, that’s what you get for acting as a rubber stamp for such things as going to war for no reason, trying to outlaw civil rights, and taking money from Jack Abramoff. With no actual issue with which to present themselves to the voters in November as being competent lawmakers, you better be prepared for the three words that your Republican candidates will be spouting throughout the campaign season this year.

World War III.

Newt Gingrich recently declared that we are at the beginning of World War III. Israel’s psychotic overreaction to having two of their soldiers kidnapped, and Hezbollah’s equally psychotic reaction to having Israel shoot their wad at them is a sign that World War III has arrived, you see. Newt Gingrich likes to call himself a historian, but frankly I think his history book here is the Book of Revelation. I’m sure he’s trying to tie together the whole apocalypse thing to this ten millionth round of violence between Jews and Muslims. But according to Newt Gingrich this time it is serious. It’s World War III.
