Newt nails it again

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. . . . As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves."

It is a must read and I find it terribly sad that one of the most critical thinkers in our political arena has been brought to a point where his brilliance will not be given the deference it deserves. It is also sad that our current President is no Abraham Lincoln. Read the entire essay here.
