Renewing American Civilization

Summary: One man's view on how to improve America.
Review: Gingrich's ideas are common sense. Americans have to take responsibility for themselves and stop playing the part of victim. As a victim, they ask the government for benefits because of their victimhood. If they take responsibility, they need to strive to improve themselves through education and other methods. That said, I don't know if I am in accord with all his principles. Government needs to help those who either cannot or will not help themselves. I think Gingrich equates that with the Big Brother concept of government. If it were up to Gingrich, many people who have relied on the government for their living would be thrown out on the streets. I don't think that is the answer either.
As a moderate Republican, I don't subscribe to all Gingrich beliefs. He is at the far right of the Republican Party and I was happy to see him replaced as the House Speaker. I think some of his views are common sense, and some are right wing. The tape was an average listen.

Review: Is one lifelong zealot going to destroy our Republican Party and bring shame to the whole democratic system of justice. Are these meanminded right wing hate mongers going to prevail. America will rise and say NO

Summary: An excellent source for teaching American history
Review: This in NOT a politically motivated work. This is definitely the best teaching reference on what it means to be a United States Citizen. With being a Citizen of this country comes great responsibilites to oneself, your community and to your country. This would go hand-in-hand very nicely with Hillary R. Clinton's book "It takes a Village".
