There was a time when I thought Newt Gingrich might be better than a thrice married, cheating douche who divorced his wife when she was diagnosed with cancer, but clearly I was delusional. Apparently, Newt and Dinesh D'Souza, who makes me feel shame as an Indian, have decided Obama holds "a Kenyan, anti-colonial worldview" and cannot be trusted. I guess the "Kenyan" reference just means Newt and D'Souza don't like non-white people. A strange sentiment for D'Souza given that he is not white. He could simply be a self-loather?
The "anti-colonial worldview" is what I find most strange. As a former history professor, Newt should know that the United States of America was founded by anti-colonialists. George Washington, the first president and one of the founding fathers, was an anti-colonialist. Apparently he skipped that class. Note to self, do not let friends go to Newt's alma mater.
Their are sure to take on a life of their own now that Glenn Beck has managed to equate anti-colonialism with socialism. One more apt would pair anti-colonialism with freedom. As the Tea Partiers rally, I hope they realize the oppressive federal government which they claim does not heed the will of the people has a lot in common with anti-colonialists desire for freedom from an oppressive government that regards them as less than equal. Although what is worse, the hypocrisy of the Tea Party or the ignorance?
