FOr those of us who are conservatives keep the faith and keep fighting the good fight.

What's 'good' about "conservative" fight, given the fact that they are increasingly so irrational to the point of that they becoming quasi-fascist (fascism is an ideology premised on a discourse of anti-rationalism) and are so nihilistic, nowadays, they'd make the Bolsheviks proud

Isn't conservatism supposed to be rational in its thinking and pragmatic in its method?

Still peddling the communistic crap are we, Simpleton?

Any rationalist can can see that the president stands somewhere between modern liberalism, on the center-left (the original Third Way between socialism, on the left, and classical liberalism, on the right) and the "cult of neoliberalism", on the center-right - of course, you rightwing dogmatoids wouldn't know rationalism if it hit you on head with a sledgehammer

Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich: 'Every child' should use speech

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0909/26865.html

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich defended President Barack Obama’s speech to school children Tuesday, urging “every child” to read the remarks.

Some conservative critics have accused the president of trying to “indoctrinate” school children with a speech Tuesday welcoming students back to school, but Gingrich said during an interview on NBC’s “Today Show” that the attacks are without merit.

“President Reagan did it, President George H.W. Bush did it,” he said. “I read the speech yesterday when it was posted and I think the White House was smart to post it.”

“It’s a good speech,” Gingrich added. “I recommend it to everybody if you have any doubts. I would love to have every child in America read it, think about it, and learn that they should stay in school and they should study.” ...

Newt goes on to criticize the president's speech on Labor Day

“If he can give a speech tomorrow night in the tone of his speech to the students, this country would be much better off,” Gingrich said.
