Quote of the Day: The Crisis

December 23, 1776

THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Newt’s 21st Century Contract For America is a fine start, and presents an outline in much greater specificity than any other candidate, including Obama. So what’s not to like?

It turns out, that like Romney, Gingrich is a self-proclaimed progressive, and thinks that FDR was the greatest President in US history.
