Sunday Loon Watch: Newt says Dems as dangerous as Nazis

Newt Gingrich is a one-man comedy act, and he doesn't even realize it. Here he is yesterday on Fox News Sunday, exploring new frontiers in Godwin's Law:

Transcript:

   WALLACE: You say President Obama and the Democrats are trying to impose a s secular socialist machine on this country. ... You also write this, and let’s put it up on the screen. "The secular-socialist machine represents as great a threat to America as Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union once did." Mr. Speaker, respectfully, isn’t that wildly over the top?

   GINGRICH: No, not if by America you mean the historic contract we’ve had which says your rights come from your creator, they’re unalienable, you’re allowed to pursue happiness. I mean, just listen to President Obama’s language. He gets to decide who earns how much. ... He has said publicly, generically, "You know, some Americans earn too much," so he’s now going to decide that? ... So you want a politician to become the arbiter of your dreams. A politician gets to say, "We’re going to raise — we’re going to — we’re going to have a tax —" and they proposed this at one point — "We’re going to have a punitive tax on those we don’t like. We’re going to decide that you have too much money so we’re going to take it from you." ... As a threat to our way of life, the degree to which the secular- socialist left represents a fundamental replacement of America, a very different world view, a very different outcome, I think is a very serious threat to our way of life.

Alright, I'll just come out and say it: I pray that Newt Gingrich runs for President in 2012. I pray that he wins the GOP nomination. I cannot wait to hear him tell President Obama to his face that the Obama Administration represents as big a threat to America as the Nazi Germans. That will be some serious popcorn time.
