GINGRICH HELPED DEFEAT COMMUNISM, TERRORISM, AND EVERY OTHER ISM IN THE WORLD
December 1 2011
Washington, D.C. – When you’re hot, you’re hot and there is no one hotter right now in American politics than Newt Gingrich. The former Speaker of the House is the biggest ticket in town right, surging in Republican polling and drawing a whole lot of water, both politically and culturally.
That new found fame may end up being fleeting, it often is, but for now Newt has the crown and he is making sure that everyone knows it, especially the voters.
This is of course the best time for such action, just weeks away from the first primary, and should the good will continue for Gingrich it may very well vault him to the top of the Republican Party for a real shot at becoming President. To further foster that good will Gingrich has been calling on his past, reminding them of his long life in politics and helping to better the world, especially that time that he basically defeated Communism all by himself, something he vows to do with all other ism’s if he is elected President.
“I helped Ronald Reagan and Jack Kemp develop supply side economics. I helped lead the effort to defeat communism in the Congress,” Gingrich told Sean Hannity on Fox News.
Gingrich did work on supply side economics with Reagan, as a member of Congress, as did all other Republican members of Congress at the time. 
He has also apparently been telling supporters that when he is elected he will fight all forms of ism in the world, except for Capitalism, he likes that one.
“This is delicate but potentially very exciting stage for Gingrich because he has the public’s ear but if he goes too far with boasting or fudges the truth a little it could easily backfire on him. He is surging at a good time, but there have been a lot of surges already and there is no guarantee that it will stick for him better than it has anyone else,” said Scrape TV Political analyst Gabriel Kinsey. “The big issue with this particular claim is the mere fact that Communism still exists, is flourishing actually. Cuba has remained one of the most viable countries in the Caribbean, Vietnam is surging in its area, China is a monster, and North Korea, despite their lack of food, is a major player in the region. Communism has really never been better.”
As for the other ism’s Gingrich vows to battle, the details are a little sketchy.
“I would imagine that this is just the kind of campaign promises that will never be made good on. Those types of things are necessary. I mean getting rid of some ism’s, like terrorism for example, would be a good thing, but there are so many that trying to get rid of them all would just be silly and too costly,” continued Kinsey. “Ism’s are always going to exist and no one, not even the President of the United States, will be able to rid the world of them. It’s just not practical, people like ism’s and they will continue to be a part of cultures across the world for a long time to come. No matter how many he’s defeated in the past, I think he will ultimately fail if he keeps going in this direction.”
Of particular disgust for Gingrich is apparently zootheism, which is the attribution of divine qualities to animals, something Gingrich thought he had defeated in the 1970’s.
