Newt Gingrich recently spoke to the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce and put today’s politics in a historical perspective with George Washington. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, the former Speaker of the House had words of wisdom for us all. Speaker Gingrich is a historian by nature and recently came out with a book To Try Men’s Souls. Attached is a picture of Speaker Gingrich oblivious to Alexander Chandler hanging out in the background.
Speaker Gingrich spoke of our war in Afghanistan as “the long war” and called it a “struggle against those that want to destroy us”. He commented that three things that are needed to improve the progress and in our struggle and the lives of Afghanis is improved communications, roads, and the assemblage of an organized Afghan army.
George Washington, according to Gingrich, is our greatest President and provides lessons that citizens and politicians should live by. Speaker Gingrich commented that it is a Presidents responsibility to “tell the truth, not appease the ignorant” and that “there is not enough oil in the world to justify an American President to bow to a Saudi Prince”.
Other topics addressed by Speaker Gingrich was that of health care where he said, “None of the bills proposed by Congress have anything to do with health care. They have everything to do with power”. This statement generally applies to both parties with varied vested interests.
Discipline was another topic and Gingrich spoke of George Washington’s extraordinary discipline. George Washington is a favorite topic of Alexander Chandler. Alexander is a direct descendant of George Washington’s sister and Colonel Fielding who was a field commander during the revolutionary war. This makes George Washington Alexander’s ancestral uncle.
