WHAT DO NORTH KOREA, CUBA, CHINA, IRAN, AND SOON THE UNITED STATES HAVE IN COMMON? AND GINGRICH IS BITCHING AGAIN

They don’t allow their citizens free access to the internet.

Simple as that, there is no mincing of words on this issue. Totalitarian regimes have found out that the worst opposition they could possibly have is a well informed, well educated population. It functions much in the same way religions work…keeping their adherents immersed so deeply in their religion that they can’t access any other idea or information outside of their hermetically sealed environment. It works.

It is no secret that both government tyrannies and religious absolutists will repress with cruel brutality any kind of dissent…that is what makes these tyrannies so ruthless. They know that the only way they can survive is by keeping the public ignorant and disengaged.

We see how the Republicans embrace both the concept of religiosity as a virtue because the more extreme brand of religious fanaticism keeps women ignorant, barefoot and pregnant and the men unable to think for themselves. The Republicans are more than elated to have America watching “Dancing With the Stars” or “American Idol” or even entertaining them with a circus like atmosphere as the Republican Presidential primaries have been.

You see, while people are watching these shows their attention is not on how voters are being disenfranchised, how the horrible inequality in the distribution of wealth and power, how corporations can dictate who gets elected and are elevated to the status of personhood.

We are not just endangering the democratic process by this Citizen’s United Supreme Court abominable decision but now we are being threatened with the possibility of internet censorship. That is what it comes down to and it is not going to work because most Americans are too aware of the Republican tactics and how they resemble those of countries like North Korea, Cuba and Iran.

FORMER SPEAKER GINGRICH PUT ON AN ACT INDICATING HE WAS INDIGNANT ABOUT A QUESTION ABOUT HIS ADULTEROUS AFFAIR.

How dare you a journalist of your stature ask such a question from me?

How could you possible ask such an outrageous question from me, “I’m appalled that you would begin a Presidential debate with a question like that” “vicious, negative” the former Speaker of the House answer to the journalist, the defender of family values, condemnation of homosexuality and the role model for all American men? I am beyond reproach, well above the scrutiny you low life reporters are hurling at me? It is an insult, an outrage…after all; he was part of the condemnation of President Clinton’s impeachment attempt for his adulterous blow job.

We should bring it to the attention that Speaker Gingrich was forced out of the House of Representatives Speakership for his unethical dealings and it culminated in an official House vote to reprimand Gingrich and a $300,000 bill to reimburse the committee's investigation, are a matter of public record.

"One of the issues that was raised last night by Rick Santorum was the fact that he was pushed out of the House by his fellow members. I think over 80 percent of Republican congressmen voted to reprimand the speaker of the House -- first time in history," Romney said in Gilbert, S.C. "Nancy Pelosi has the full record of that ethics investigation. You know it’s going to get out before the general election."

Somebody ought to remind Newt that it is the American people who are indignant to see such hypocrisy coming from a Presidential contender.
