I get the idea he has that we need to do something to the little jihadi moonbats that are encouraging violence against the US, but I think he misses the point.<br /><br />It falls to us to deal with those little nuts by exercising our own speech to drown them out, and it's upt the federal government to nail these little b*stards who aren't citizens calling for that violence.<br /><br />Time for their butts to go home, and it's time to teach those who are citizens that there are limits to speech.<br /><br />We like Newt. Don't get us wrong. But I think that if you ask the government to curtail it, what will happen with the government doesn't want to give it back to us?<br /><br />I don't think the idea of curtailing speech is the right approach. Enforcement of the law is, and active engagement in the realm of speech is. As bloggers, we do that, and our voices--our free speech--can drown these clowns out. It just takes getting as many people on the same page as possible.<br /><br />But I can't, in good conscience, support such a move, as described by Newt.<br /><br />Thomas<br />http://sydandvaughn.blogspot.com/2006/11/gingrich-said-what-this-morning-i-woke.htmlSyd And Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461825782496517901noreply@blogger.com
