While Newtie is attempting to cuddle with the Jews and Israel, he's demonized and dehumanized an entire populace...Muslims. He seems silly and out of touch now, but I would imagine that's what a lot of people thought about Hitler in the early stages of his "career". Do I really think he could pull off the illegalization of an entire people? Not really. But, he could do a lot of damage and drag us into another, possibly the final, war. This doesn't even cover what he thinks of "poor" people or the undereducated. While he whines about "class warfare" now, as President, he would encourage it. It would give him the excuse to tighten the bonds further.
I spend a lot of time laughing and making jokes about the clowns that are competing for the GOP nomination, but there are times when I stop and really think about it. There isn't one of them that doesn't worry me. It's Newt & Co. that should be closing our ranks. It's up to us to prevent another Auschwitz.
Poop. Now I feel bad about ruining a lighthearted comment. I've had it done to me and it irritates me. I promise, I really do have a sense of humor and I'm far from using tinfoil for headwear!
