>>> In a radio interview on Tuesday, Gingrich blasted the left on oil, drawing upon some of the greater moments in American history to make his point.

"The Left has believed for at least forty years now in a concept called Peak Oil that says 'gee, we're about to run out.' Well, it turns out that our reserves in the U.S., because of new technology, which is something that the Left rejects (seems he was trying to work towards a point here but totally abandons it to make some kind of backhanded pandering smear)- they don't believe the Wright Brothers invented flying, they don't believe Edison invented electric light, and they don't believe we're about to invent the next generation of interesting things." <<<

OK, here's where it gets interesting ... it turns out that the Wright bros absolutely didn't "invent flying" & Edison also very surely didn't "invent electric lighting", which Newt, as a "historian" should obviously know very well. I could very credibly make the case that not only Tesla, at least theoretically, was much farther advanced at the time in both those endeavors (even though he was more concentrating on other fronts) than either 'inventor' Scamgrinch cites on both counts ... but that it also seems that actual thoughtful academic research & thought actually credits other individuals with being the 'actual' inventors of either (which Newt, if he actually is a true 'historian' should also know quite well too), plus he blasts these notions as more or less fantasy that only "the Left" believes.

Check out specifically #s 4 & 2:

& since it should be clear now to any gentle sentient how he's merrily minimized himself into some sort of mostly self-promotional spoiler/power broker thorn in the paw of the reptilican nominating process, just who or what entity is he pandering to with these clearly ironic comments?

Just which faction of $$$hadowy bankrolling back$$$tage manipulator$$$ exactly is he dogwhistling to specifically with these comments with such snarkily subtle malarkey? He's just basically promoting the ruling power$$$ who have basically sought to (re)write history through propaganda to basically suit & support their own $$$elfish interest$$$ ...
