Michael Hughes: Gingrich Centers Campaign on Fundamentalist Myth
The last thing this country needs at this (or any) juncture is a narcissist at the helm whose decisions will be influenced by eschatological interpretations of scripture. Based on America’s damaged global standing due to financial mismanagement, unrivaled inequality and destabilizing military excursions, now is not the time for arrogance and hubris from a U.S. president. In sum, Gingrich’s platform of belligerent nationalism, dogmatic theism and reckless foreign policy is not only entirely self-defeating — it is exceptionally stupid.
