What an excellent piece by Jeffrey Lord! Yes, unlike liberals who willingly give public platforms to modern-day incarnations of Adolf Hitler, conservative intellectuals like Newt Gingrich understand that ideas really do have consequences.

And speaking of Newt: I wish him all the best as he writes his books and gives his speeches on the failures of liberalism, and the superiority of conservatism in both thought and practice. After several years of runaway spending from a GOP president and Congress (not to mention other shortcomings), conservatives are disheartened, and in need of fresh ideas and energy. Newt has always been good at providing them.
