If we'd had government on [today's] scale in the 1840s, the stagecoaches would have hired lobbyists to get a bill passed that railroads could not travel faster than a horse because it would be an unfair competitive advantage.
Newt GingrichIf we really care about safety we would close down WikiLeaks. We would treat the people at WikiLeaks as enemy combatants. We would declare that the kind of thing this private did is treason. WikiLeaks is not a fun and games event. WikiLeaks undermines profoundly the ability of the United States to work around the world. Why would you, if you were a foreigner thinking about helping the United States, why would you confide anything to an American when you know that it could end up in The New York Times based on some leak?
Newt GingrichThereโs a large part of me thatโs four years old. I wake up in the morning and I know that somewhere thereโs a cookie. I donโt know where it is but I know itโs mine and I have to go find it. Thatโs how I live my life. My life is amazingly filled with fun.
