Newt Gingrich - Conservative or Wolf-in-sheep's-clothing?

I wanted to post a link to this blog post, since it has some very interesting information. I started leaning away from the Democrat party towards the Republican party right around the mid-1990's when Newt was Speaker of the House. (Bill Clinton and the press reaction to Monica Lewinsky and related issues was, to me, so disgusting I couldn't stomach being a Democrat any more.) I did notice with Mr. Gingrich that the actions didn't quite match the rhetoric.

Here are a couple of paragraphs from the article, but it's definitely worth reading the whole thing.

Newt Gingrich wrote in many of his official bio’s for conservative causes that his degree was in “history.” In actuality, it was in the New Age full employment program of “Environmental Studies.” In the mid 1980s, Mark Satin, author of NEW AGE POLITICS and NEW OPTIONS newsletter gave “Internationalist” rankings for Congressmen. Heading the list with the best “internationalist” voting records in Congress were Newt Gingrich and Marci Kapteyn, a Congresswoman from Toledo, Ohio.

Another interesting analysis of Newt Gingrich appeared in a 1986 edition of the Los Angeles Times. It noted how he was most likely a left leaner, but learned that the right got the votes. Ergo, he suddenly veered course to the right. That analysis troubles me more than the Alvin Toffler, Heidi Toffler, Environmental Studies analyses which are a red flag of New Age danger in and of themselves.. It suggests a man who is more amoral than immoral. Such a person to my way of thinking is most dangerous of all – he does nothing from conviction or reason, but does all from a analysis of personal advantage.
