QUOTES The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.- Newt Gingrich [O]ur government, at all levels, must be modernized to successfully partner, let alone compete, with the private sector. Newt Gingrich, A Contract with the Earth (p.196) The U.S. government operates endowments for the humanities and the artsPerhaps, it is time we consider a new endowment for conservation and the environment. Newt Gingrich, A Contract with the Earth (pp. 115-116) We agree that there is plenty of evidence that global climate change is occurringWhile humanity is certainly causing its fair share of the change, scientists are still not able to precisely pinpoint the extent of the change, or the margin of error in their estimates. Newt Gingrich,A Contract with the Earth (p. 200) In spite of the demonstrated liberal leanings in academia, we have nothing but respect for the nations scientists. They represent Americas best hope to protect the environment. We support a dramatic increase in science and technology research and development because we desperately need to understand global climate change and other environmental phenomena. Newt Gingrich, A Contract with the Earth (p. 201) If you import a commercial quantity of illegal drugs, it is because you have made the personal decision that you are prepared to get rich by destroying our children. I have made the decision that I love our children enough that we will kill you if you do this. Newt Gingrich (source) What were being told is that free trade with Mexico would devastate the U.S. economy. With its low wages, Mexico would unleash a flood of cheap imports into our markets. There would be a mass exodus of U.S. factory jobs, as hordes of American companies fled across the border. All this is scare talk. Newt Gingrich, on the House floor 9/22/1993. (source) Q: Will you rally the troops for GATT and the World Trade Organization? A: Yes. In the first place, the Administration has accepted amendments of Senator Dole and myself giving Congress dramatically more oversight of the WTO, including the right to bring up a vote on withdrawal every five years in perpetuity, so at any point that we think it is out of control or inappropriate, we can simply withdraw. Newt Gingrich, 11/11/1994 (source) The American challenge in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution. Under our [constitutional system] either were going to have to rethink our Constitution, or were going to have to rethink our process of decision-making. He went on to profess an oxymoronic belief invery strong but limited federal government, and pledged, I am for the United Nations. Newt Gingrich, July 1995, speech at the Center for Strategic & International Affairs (source) I think were seeing around the world an emerging Third World War from North Korea to Pakistan to India to Afghanistan to Iraq and Iran to the increasing alliance between Venezuela

and Iran to the British terrorists who are getting trained in Pakistan. Newt Gingrich, 2006, interview with Greta Van Sustren In March 1993, I got an assistance program I could support: $1.6 billion in direct aid to help Russia stabilize. Although a public poll said that 75% of the American people were opposed to giving Russia more money, and we were already in a hard fight for the economic plan, I felt we had no choice but to press ahead. American had spent trillions of dollars in defense to win the Cold War; we couldnt risk reversal over less that $2 billion and a bad poll. To the surprise of my staff, the congressional leaders, including the Republicans, agreed with me. At a meeting I convened to push the plan, Senator Joe Biden, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, strongly endorsed the aid package. Newt Gingrich was passionately in favor of helping Russia, saying it was a great defining moment for American and we had to do the right thing. Bill Clinton, 2004 (My Life, p. 506-507). Professor Gingrich hopefully will never be called upon to teach a course in the proper role of our federal government. His rare votes against bloated big government usually have been prompted by the partisan wrangling of the moment, not by any great respect for, or understanding of, the Constitution.
