Waging War on the Trifecta of Tyranny

Dallas, TX - -(Ammoland.com)- As a six-time undefeated middleweight world karate champion, I have a pretty good idea what makes a warrior.

And there’s presently one particular presidential candidate in the political ring who wears those gloves better than the others.

It’s one thing to enter a ring with a single opponent, but what if you had to enter with three — one candidate with unlimited money and two titans of political swing to back him? That is exactly what former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is facing right now.

Staggering Wealth
People see Newt’s primary GOP opponent as former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, but I don’t. I think the battle is with Romney’s and his cronies’ staggering wealth. Last week, The Washington Post exposed that there are 41 mega-rich individuals who bankroll Romney’s campaign and his purchase of the seat in the Oval Office: “Nearly a dozen of the donors have contributed $1 million or more. … Some of Romney’s biggest supporters include executives at Bain Capital, his former firm; bankers at Goldman Sachs; and a hedge fund mogul who made billions betting on the housing crash.”

In Florida, for example, they collectively spent $15.4 million to run about 13,000 negative ads against Newt (not Obama). Compare that with the 200 ads that Gingrich’s campaign ran. Romney’s campaign spent more on ads in Florida alone than John McCain spent during his entire presidential run.

Given that monstrous media assault, I was actually pleasantly surprised Newt received more than 500,000 votes, compared with Romney’s 700,000.

Mainstream Media
Newt’s second major opponent is the mainstream media, or MSM. All it takes is a quick flip through the major network channels to hear the pro-Romney accolades and defenses being offered via a variety of news anchors.

For example, after Newt spanked (with great audience fanfare) CNN anchorman John King at the South Carolina presidential debate for asking Newt to defend himself against his ex-wife’s accusations on ABC, CNN sent in its veteran bulldog, Wolf Blitzer, to host the Florida debate.

The next day, after his full-court press against Newt before a national audience, Wolf was on CNN gloating over his victory over Newt. Wolf said, “I was ready for him. … I wasn’t going to let Newt get away with that again” — “that” being Newt’s ability to shut down the power grid of the MSM.

So much for unbiased hosting and objective media!

And it’s no coincidence that radically left progressive globalist and billionaire George Soros, according to Fox News, wields his finances and pulls the strings in more than 30 major puppet outlets, including The New York Times, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, NBC and ABC. It’s also no coincidence that Soros likes Romney just as much as he does Obama. During a recorded television interview, Soros said, “Between Obama and Romney, there isn’t all that much difference.”

The MSM would have us believe that the GOP contest is over and Romney is the winner. But the battle has just begun. Newt was absolutely correct when he stated before the Nevada caucuses, “This race is not anywhere near over.

There are 46 states to go.” As Joseph Farah — CEO of WorldNetDaily, one of the few sources I trust for news — said on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel show last week, “nobody has 100 delegates yet. We are not even one-tenth of the way to the end of the GOP election.”

Perhaps a word about the power of the MSM from Thomas Jefferson is apropos here: “The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”

GOP Establishment
The third enemy of Newt’s is the entrenched GOP establishment — a part of what Newt calls the Washington elite. Those in the establishment loathe Newt not because of what he’s done, but because he is a lethal threat to their way of life and existence, namely their political control and sway over your money and tax dollars.

When the establishment types saw Newt’s colossal win in the South Carolina primary, they scurried to bring forth a few of their kingpins, such as Bob Dole and John McCain, to try to convince us Newt is a danger to us, too. The Boston Globe even ran an article titled “GOP insiders rise up to cut Gingrich down to size.”

Newt retorted at a tea party gathering in central Florida by stating categorically, “The Republican establishment is just as much an establishment as the Democratic establishment, and they are just as determined to stop us.”
Dan Schnur, a former GOP campaign strategist who teaches politics at the University of Southern California, put it straight: “The Republican establishment might not be wild about Mitt Romney, but they’re terrified by Newt Gingrich.”
Rush Limbaugh reacted to the frightened squirms of the GOP establishment by saying: “Newt doesn’t act like he’s got any fear. … Finally, somebody’s telling the bad guys who they are, what to do and that we’re not going to take it anymore (just as Reagan did). … Newt has thrown this thing into a tizzy.”

While Romney decries that he is not a Washington insider, it is amazing to me that he gloats over the roughly 72 Washington elites who endorsed him, compared with Newt’s 11. Rather than a badge of honor, that’s a thorn of shame. How do they say it, birds of a feather flock together? I have only to remind you of the tea party’s initial receptivity in Washington, which was not exactly like an actual tea party.

I’m reminded of the wisdom of Samuel Adams: “If ever the Time should come, when vain & aspiring Men shall possess the highest Seats in Government, our Country will stand in Need of its experienced Patriots to prevent its Ruin.”

If it’s true that you always can tell one’s positions by the enemies he has — and I believe it is — then Newt is exactly where he needs to be, battling the trifecta of tyranny: Mitt’s treasuries, the MSM and the GOP elite.

One cannot, in any way, underestimate the grisly enormity of this triple-headed monstrosity. It is a goliath of ginormous proportions. And let there be no doubt: Only heaven and earth combining their forces will overcome this gargantuan foe.

Thomas Paine was correct: “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered.”

Proof Voters Are Smarter Than Media & Washington Elite

Dallas, TX - -(Ammoland.com)- I think the mainstream media and Washington elite think the majority of voters just fell off the turnip truck.

But the South Carolina primary and other current voting trends show otherwise.

The MSM’s are working double time to get us to forget about the unprecedented results of the South Carolina primary, but they are a sign of what could be in Florida, Nevada and beyond. They are also proof that American citizens will not be outwitted by the political shenanigans of the powers that be.

Let me give you a few examples.
Despite the fact that ABC paraded Newt Gingrich’s bitter ex-wife across its airwaves two nights before the South Carolina primary, Newt won women’s votes 36-30 percent over Mitt Romney. And married women and evangelical women both backed Gingrich with 40 percent support.

Despite (or maybe on account of) Mitt’s creation of Romneycare in Massachusetts and promises for Social Security’s perpetuity, Newt gained 47 percent of the vote (to Mitt’s 36 percent) among those 65 or older.

Despite the MSM’s attempt to convey Newt as old and outdated, he received 27 percent of votes from those between 18 and 29 years old, only being beaten by Ron Paul’s 32 percent.

Despite the MSM and Washington elite’s campaign to convey that Newt would be dangerous to the country and world, 39 percent of U.S. veterans voted for Newt, compared with 32 percent for Romney.

Despite Romney’s spending millions on ads in South Carolina to convince voters that Newt is an ethically compromised Washington insider, Newt won 45 percent of the votes from very conservative voters, while Rick Santorum and Romney trailed with 23 and 20 percent, respectively.

Despite the MSM’s pro-Romney coverage and six years of Romney’s campaigning, Newt stole 31 percent of moderates’ votes from the Massachusetts moderate.

Despite Romney’s often-flaunted business credentials, 8 in 10 voters who said they were very worried about the direction of the economy also voted for Newt.

Despite the fact that 120 evangelical leaders met recently in Texas and claimed to have come to a consensus backing Santorum, the initial vote of those leaders split almost evenly between Santorum and Newt, 57-48, according to CBN News’ chief political correspondent. I don’t think it’s coincidental that a similar amount, 45 percent, of evangelicals also voted for Newt in his landslide South Carolina victory. Forty-five percent of pro-lifers also voted for Newt, compared with just 21 percent for Romney.

Even in Florida, Newt’s popularity is evident by the sizes of his audiences. Despite the fact that Washington heavyweights John McCain and Bob Dole have come out to endorse Romney — in a drive that The Boston Globe described as “GOP insiders (rising) up to cut Gingrich down to size” — the Los Angeles Times reported this past week that “Newt Gingrich (is) winning the crowd contest in Florida.”

And despite the fact that Romney and his cronies have and will spend millions more dollars in Florida and Nevada to perforate Newt’s character and record again — according to Newsmax, in Florida 20 times more money has been spent for Romney than has been spent there in support of any other Republican candidate — I believe that voters will be neither bought by his money nor directed by his political spin and rhetoric, just as those in South Carolina didn’t fall for the fool’s gold.

More proof came this past week via the triple-gang of the MSM, Romney and Washington elite.

They all pounced again on Newt, claiming he is not a Reagan conservative. But they were discounted again, as former President Ronald Reagan’s eldest son, Mike, who also has endorsed Newt, joined radio talk show legend Rush Limbaugh by lambasting Newt’s critics.

Mike said, “I am deeply disturbed that supporters of Mitt Romney are claiming that Newt Gingrich is not a true Reaganite and are even claiming that Newt was a strong critic of my father.” And Limbaugh added, “That kind of stuff is why people hate Romney so much.”

Newsmax reported that in a 1995 speech at a dinner honoring Reagan, former first lady Nancy Reagan said:

“The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century. Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive.”

There’s a reason 34 percent of those who voted for Newt in South Carolina said they “strongly supported” the tea party, dispelling another MSM myth (or is that a wish?) that the tea party’s influence has dwindled. Thirty-one percent of independents also voted for Newt.

To the naysayers of Newt, these words from Theodore Roosevelt are appropriate:

“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause, who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

I think it’s time again that “we the people” showed the media and Washington elite exactly who is in charge.

South Carolinians were not duped by the titans of political swing. Floridian and Nevadan patriots, don’t you let them manipulate and muscle your votes, either.
