The recent performance of Newt Gingrich in his global warming "debate" with John Kerry is emblematic of the phenomenon I've been trying to hammer home for several years now - that the folks many call "neocons," but are more correctly referred to as pseudocons are no more than stealth servants of the left. These "Establishment" Republicans can always be expected to stab true conservatives (the folks that elect them) in the back.

American patriots alarmed at the environmentalist assault on our institutions and prosperity (I learned today, for instance, that, in spite of Bush's apparently just-for-show refusal to sign onto the Kyoto accord that threatens to send our civilization back to the stone age, we're more in compliance than are the European nations that constantly scold us for not inking up - this from no less reliable a source than the Wall Street Journal's Steven Moore; but I digress), had some reason to delight at the prospect of a speaker as brilliant as Newt ostensibly defending our point of view.

After all, what with the recent devastating BBC special exposing the global warming hysteria as a purely political movement based on junk science, what with the past several weeks of frigid early spring weather throughout the country as Exhibit A, it would have seemed as though someone like Gingrich would find himself presented with the proverbial sitter at the net. We should have known better.

If the excerpts I've seen are any indication (and they don't even really have to be - they stand as super-significant, even in isolation), Mr. Gingrich essentially raised the white flag, become nothing more than a compliant echo of the loquacious "Lurch," and drawing applause from the apparently stacked audience in the disgusting process.

Kerry himself seemed taken aback in the clip I saw, expressing his sense of gratification that Gingrich had in essence conceded the issue. He then proceeded to nail down Newt's acquiescence to the notion that "urgent" measures needed to be taken in regards to this area of agreement, as his "opponent" nodded his assent. Thanks, Newt.

Will somebody please start paying attention to what I've been saying for so long about major GOP figures simply working for the other side? Like the old sappy song says, "there are such things..."

Like a Nixon, bugging the office of an opponent he's leading by 40 points in the polls, and in the long run destroying the American socialism-resistance movement for a decade, like a GHBW and his needless "yes, new taxes" cave-in that gave us the Clinton years, like GWB refusing to play the 500 declassified WMD-find card (and others similar), the Oklahoma City bombing-qua Iraqi operation card, etc, these faux right wingers delight in gratuitously offering up hanging curves to the Marxist opposition, all to the detriment of those of us who sincerely want to preserve what's left of this once great republic.

They're simply fall guys for the left. They don't have their own "imperialist war for oil" aims. They want us to think they do, just as do the internationalist socialist bosses from whom they take their orders. Then the Pelosis and Reids can step in, by default, and ram us with grassroots lobbying bans, "fairness" doctrines to destroy talk radio, McCain-Feingold augmentations to gut freedom of speech in the Internet (plus UN hegemony over the same), thought crimes laws, ever more open floodgates at the borders (w/ W's approval), and all manner of other tyrannical measures.

Any administration that sends the message (to invader and protector alike) this one has sent in jailing border agents and sheriffs for doing their jobs, refusing to grant pardons, exposing them to beatings at the hands of invader-inmates, and treating them like mass murderers in placing them in solitary with no privileges and only one phone call a month is certainly not working in the interests of those that elected it, don't you agree?

How many uninspected, rickety trucks packed with illegals as stowaways and driven by drunken unlicensed drivers who haven't slept in days do we need gallivanting all over the country, killing innocent drivers, and passengers, and pedestrians with impunity do we need before we start questioning the motives of those that can be laughingly said to govern us?

A couple of unrelated notes:

1 Just wanted to note that John McCain, who of late - in a desperate attempt to gain our primary votes by whatever deceit necessary - has been trying to masquerade as a conservative, joined the Democrat majority in voting to use your tax dollars to bribe pregnant women to murder their babies and hand their corpses over to the "embryonic stem cell" junk medicine mafia. Just thought you oughta be made duly aware.

2. Didn't think I'd be moved to comment on the Imus affair in this space, as I consider the issue an intentional diversion - an engineered vulgar distraction on the order of the long running Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears soap operas, designed to give commentators an excuse to avoid talking about the border sellout, the handover of our education system to our animalistic enemies at the UN, the coming mandatory "mental health" screening of us all, the outlawing of Christian expression, and so on. But I do have one thing to say:

That's what you get when you're enough of an extreme couch potato to watch women's basketball.

Sorry, like the proverbial nitwit at the edge of a cliff, I couldn't resist.

And with that, all you nappy headed hos, infidels, and other politically incorrect ne'er-do-wells, ah's outta heah...
