A while back, the local tea party group leader sent out a message to all of the members...

[Tod]

It hasn't been 24 hours yet, but here are the responses:

a few of the addys bounced, either because they have been closed or because the inbox was "full".

I got one out-of-office autoreply

One person said: I do not know how I got on your mailing list.... but you can remove me.

A second person said: Newt is the man! ( I think I'll write him back asking him what policies Newt has that he likes )

And that is it so far....

Just got one more, from the outdoors writer at the local paper: We have already lost the best candidate, Sarah Palin. As for the rest, Ron Paul would have to be near the bottom of the list. His foreign policy rantings has done him in. Obama would bury Paul in a debate. We must defeat Obama, but Ron Paul dosn't stand a chance. I suggest you look at the next best candidate after Palin, Newt Gingrich.
Newt has some personal failings, but he is obviously the smartest man on that debate stage.

It looks like we had better be gearing up our information on Newt. I don't know too much about him. Anyone care to list some of his downfalls? Thanks!

Here you go. I can't see anyone with a IQ above 50 that could ignore this.

Newt Gingrich former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, strongly endorsed the book, Creating a New Civilization, by Alvin and Heidi Toffler. That notorious book, in turn, parrots the scheme of the Illuminati to destroy the Constitution of the United States and set up a Fascist World Order. Significantly, Newt Gingrich is a member of the CFR and also the World Future Society. As shown on one of their publications, the logo of the World Future Society appears strikingly similar to a circular, 6-6-6 configuration.

If he thought Palin was the "best candidate", I'd venture that he's a lost cause.

Paul's "foreign policy rantings" are his best quality

There IS a bit of truth in there. The book contained a lot of anti-constitutional, pro-globalist material and called for the end of American values, to be replaced with something new. And yep, Gingrich is a big fan of it. This is definitely something we want to push.

risk < reward on that one. the word "illuminati" says to a reasonable person that the person they are talking to is an idiot and whatever they say should be taken with a grain of salt. to promote such nonsense does nothing but reinforce the idea that ron paul is a tin-foil hat lunatic. it certainly doesn't do anything at all to convince anyone without an alex jones signed poster of anything. just makes us all look nuts...

stick to the substantive issues. newt has plenty to go after, no need to dredge up conspiracy nonsense.

When did I talk about the conspiracy? I'm not talking about the Illumanati. I'm talking about Gingrich's militant anti-constiutionalism and support for a lot of progressive ideas. It has nothing to do with the illumanati or some sort of conspiracy. Just questioning exactly how 'conservative' the guy is.

That.

If you NEED to use that, stick with:

The book contained a lot of anti-constitutional, pro-globalist material and called for the end of American values

... and then stop. abruptly.

Summary of book:

Toffler is Newt Gingrich's "guru" and obviously has had a profound effect on the new Speaker of the House. This subject is interesting and should be dealt with as a seperate issue though.

Back to the Fourth Wave. Before Maynard and Mehrtens came along, one only had to extrapolate one's imagination about social evolution to come up with the fact that if Toffler's wave theory is truly accurate (read Powershift and you begin to get a sense that Toffler has some keen insight here) and if each wave is behaving as a tighter and shorter bell curve relative to time, then the third wave might very well be cresting NOW. And one would logivcally ask, just what might be taking its place in the same fashion that the industrial age has given way to the knowledge wave?

Contemporary writers such as Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Jeremy Rifkin, Robert Heilbroner and Peter Drucker to mention a few, use terms such as "post-market era", "post-capitalist society" or "new world order" to describe the way they see society functioning today; they all speak to major changes in the global village based upon some of the very same rationale Toffler uses. They all speak essentially to many of the same concepts that Maynard and Mehrtens portray will be shaped in the fourth wave as it emerges. These include:

A respiritualization of society
consuming will be replaced by increasing aspects of GAIA
Materialism and scientism will continue to decline
Institutions will move toward a real responsiveness of global stewardship
Wealth will be redefined, especially as measured in accounting systems
Seamless boundaries will emerge between corporate and personal life.
Self-forgetful service will become not only a theological watchword, but an emerging paradigm for the common man.
Religions will "catch up" with science
