A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Newt: America At Risk

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is a man of ideas.  He has spent the last decade since leaving congress pursuing answers to the nation's most pressing (and long-term) problems.

Speaker Gingrich recently spoke at The American Enterprise Institute in Washington D.C. on the topic of "America at Risk."  Below is a brief clip from his speech at AEI, which was described as follows:

Almost nine years after the 9/11 attacks, the United States has yet to confront the threat posed by the extremist and irreconcilable wing of Islam. Newt Gingrich warns that now is the time to awaken from self-deception about the nature of our enemies and rebuild a bipartisan commitment, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, to defend America. Drawing on the lessons of Camus and Orwell, Gingrich will describes the dangers of a wartime government that uses language and misleading labels to obscure reality.

Newt in 2012, people. Get ready for it.
