Newt vs. Mitt - who's worse?

November 23, 2011
 Wilson

Writer

It's looking more and more like either Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney will end up being the GOP Presidential nominee. Both aren't exactly the ideal conservative, but since we're apparently stuck with them - which one is worse? Glenn, Pat & Stu run down the positives and negatives of each...It isn't pretty.

Immigration:

Glenn: "If you do amnesty and you still ‑‑ people are still going to come over and so then you're going to repeat what we did in the 1980s."

Pat: "Everybody keeps bringing up what Reagan did. Reagan screwed up. That was a mistake to grant amnesty to three million people. He did it under certain conditions. He thought that they were all going to ‑‑ all of them were going to get, you know, cards. They didn't. And he thought that we'd close the border or seal it off better. We didn't."

Stu: "An American citizen that breaks a law every year for 25 years likely winds up in prison. There's no opportunity for an American citizen's family to go with them to prison. With an illegal immigrant, we're saying that you're not allowed to be here anymore, at least your family's allowed to go with you where you're going."

Stu: "Remember politically, yeah, the DREAM Act is good politics. You can win votes by supporting giving away free things and free passes to large groups of people. Yes, we all know you can win votes that way. That's not what we're looking for, is it?"

Healthcare:

Stu: "I think they have eliminated everyone else in their mind outside of Romney, and a lot of them don't want Romney. But it's like, if you don't want Romney, why? Because he supported the individual mandate for healthcare? So did Newt this year."

Stu: "Mitt actually enacted the healthcare and Newt didn't. He just supported it."

Glenn: "But let's remember that Mitt is saying things like, 'That was only for Massachusetts. That was only for Massachusetts.'"

Stu: "Newt Gingrich not only supported (universal healthcare) on a national level, he supported it in 1993 and 2011. He's got a 20‑year record of support on that."

Glenn: "I'm not going to sit here and defend Mitt Romney and RomneyCare because RomneyCare is a nightmare. He doesn't ‑‑ I don't think he sees it as a nightmare. He sees it as something the state wanted to do. He tried to do his best. I think that's a sellout of your values, quite honestly, on small government. You don't do it even if the rest of the, rest of the state wants you to do it, you don't do it. Sorry, I'm not going to do it. You stand on principles. So I'm not going to defend him on this. However there is a difference between ‑‑ I've never, ever had a problem with Massachusetts wanting to do their own state‑run healthcare. That's the states' rights to do. If that's what they want to do, they have a right to do that."

Global Warming

Stu: "Newt Gingrich has been worse on global warming than Mitt Romney." "Mitt said a lot of stupid things about it but he wasn't ever on a couch with Nancy Pelosi advocating what she wants. I mean, there's a ‑‑ at the very least they're equal on these issues."

Later in the show, a listener called in to say he was much more concerned about Mitt Romney than he was Newt Gingrich. Watch the conversation below:

WATCH: BLM-linked organization removes webpage after Glenn Beck reveals VIOLENT terrorist origins

Image source: video screenshot

On last week's Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck revealed where the Black Lives Matter organization really gets its funding, and the dark money trail leading to a cast of familiar characters. Shortly after the program aired, one of BLM's fiscal sponsors, Thousand Currents, took down its board of directors page, which featured one of these shady characters:

Ex-Marxist professor and author of "Beyond Woke," Michael Rectenwald, joined Glenn Beck on the TV show to fill us in on the suspicious change he discovered on the Thousand Currents webpage and the Communist terrorists who is now helping run the organization. (Fortunately, the internet is forever, so it is still possible to view the board of directors page by looking at a web archive from the WayBack Machine.)

Rectenwald revealed the shocking life history of Thousand Currents' vice chair of the board, Susan Rosenberg, who spent 16 years in federal prison for her part in a series of increasingly violent acts of terrorism, including bombing the U.S. Capitol building, bombing an FBI building, and targeting police for assassination.

"Their whole campaign was one of unbelievably vicious, murderous cop killings, assassinations, and bombings," explained Rectenwald of Rosenberg's terror group known as the May 19th Communist Organization or M19.

​Facebook BOYCOTT: Major corporations demand MORE social media censorship

A Facebook anti-hate campaign called "Stop Hate for Profit" is gaining momentum, leading large companies like Patagonia, North Face, REI, and Ben & Jerry's to pull advertising revenue if Facebook doesn't do more to "stop the spread of hateful lies and dangerous propaganda on its platform."

But, what is considered "hateful"? It's anything that goes against the mob, and they won't stop with Facebook. Any voices that speak out against the progressive narrative will soon be censored and silenced. The more this campaign grows, the more our freedom of speech diminishes.

On his TV show Wednesday night, Glenn revealed where Black Lives Matter gets its considerable funding, and the dark money trail leading to a cast of familiar progressive characters.

Shortly after this program aired, one of the organizations, Thousand Currents, took down their board of directors page, which featured one of these characters.

Michael Rectenwald, a guest on Glenn's show, pointed out the suspicious change on Twitter.

GLENN'S BOOKSHELF: These are 12 books you need to read RIGHT NOW

Do you recognize your country anymore?

Me neither.

Not only is history being made, it's being rewritten and our history is being lost to Marxist revolutionaries as statues are toppled and Merriam-Webster changes our language. Does this passage from George Orwell's 1984 seem eerily similar to our day?:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." 1984, George Orwell

In the digital age, book burning is unnecessary. "Inappropriate" material just evaporates into the ether with a simple keystroke. The days I've been warning about for years are finally upon us and we need to be able to call on the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and other brilliant patriots and if you are relying on digital copies, you could find yourself out of luck.

Knowledge truly is power and we are now in the time where we need all the resources we can get, so I put together this list of the books you HAVE to have in your personal libraries. Along with these selections, I earnestly advise that you keep a journal. Your personal history is powerful and being able to preserve your thoughts and feelings for your posterity to learn from is an invaluable addition to any library.

I'd also suggest you look into Mercury One's "Leadership Training Program," the tools learned will be invaluable as you are able to inspect and learn from original sources as well as being taught by passionate historians. Stay tuned on this front, we have some exciting announcements coming soon.

You ARE the audience that will save the Republic and you have been prepared over the years for the role you need to play. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the people that Alexis de Tocqueville wrote about. America is good because it's people are good.

Keep up the good fight and God bless!
