Yeah, Because the Last One Worked So Damn Well
Newt Gingrich can roll up here on the boots of ex-wives and kiss my big blue butt.
You know that thing about history repeating itself? Grab your hat!
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich proposed the creation of a new version of the controversial House Un-American Activities Committee to root out American citizens who plan to commit terrorist attacks in the U.S.
“We originally created the House Un-American Activities Committee to go after Nazis. We passed several laws in 1938 and 1939 to go after Nazis and we made it illegal to help the Nazis. We’re going to presently have to go take the similar steps here,” Gingrich said in a Monday appearance on “Fox and Friends.”
Oh, and Gingrich gets to play the role of Joe McCarthy in this version?
Y’all, he’s serious.
Can I be the first to turn in Newt Gingrich as one who might commit terrorism? Please, please, pretty please, let me be the first.
…and after your turn Newt in for un-American activities, I’ll be more than happy to turn in Trump.
1Yeah, bring it back, and let its first investigation be Gingrich. You know, how he tried to impeach a sitting president for the same behavior that he himself was guilty of.
2Newtie is obviously bucking hard to be Donnie’s VP choice. Maybe this shot of a Newtie family reunion from the good old days will persuade Donnie:

3Not Nazis, Commies. Better dead than red!
4If they were to go after the Nazis nowadays they’d have to start with the Repub nominee for President.
5You go for it, Sweetie!!
6Poor Newtie! Oblivion is really hard on someone who used to be the center of attention.
7I’ll flip you for the honor of turning him in, Juanita! Heads!
8If we were going to investigate Americans for unAmerican activities, then jail them, we’d have to clean the majority party out of the House of Representatives and Senate.
Oh. Wait. Yes, Newtie, yes! We support your plan!
9I like the “get on the offensive” attitude of the people who have replied. That approach is the only effective way to deal with evil people such as Newt. The first person to be reported to his HUAC clone should be himself, followed by George Bush and his SecDef and SecState and whomoever else is responsible for the turmoil and terror in Mesopatamia. I truly do hate those people, even though I understand it is not healthy to carry that kind of toxic emotion around for 20 plus years. When it comes time to separate the sheep from the goats, I hope to be healthy enough to be considered a goat.
BTY. did you know that in the 60s, the fathers and grandfathers of the current crop of Republican morons in the Texas Legislature tried to create a Texas version of the HUAC? It became known as THUAC, pronounced “thack”, the sound of a Republican club hitting the head of a liberal freedom lover.
Hang in there everyone. This is going to be a real fun ride.

11Check this out.
“We originally created the House Un-American Activities Committee to go after Nazis. We passed several laws in 1938 and 1939 to go after Nazis and we made it illegal to help the Nazis…”
Do these lunatics know any history at all?
Some of the FIRST Nazi assistants and fellow-travelers uncovered by that original HUAAC were PRESCOTT BUSH and his associates.
The father and grandfather of POTUS 41 and 43! And also in cahoots with the prominent Walker family too.

Union Banking Corporation
Bush was a founding member and one of seven directors (including W. Averell Harriman) of the Union Banking Corporation (holding a single share out of 4,000 as a director), an investment bank that operated as a clearing house for many assets and enterprises held by German steel magnate Fritz Thyssen.[6][7] In July 1942, the bank was suspected of holding gold on behalf of Nazi leaders.[8] A subsequent government investigation disproved those allegations but confirmed the Thyssens’ control, and in October 1942 the United States seized the bank under the Trading with the Enemy Act and held the assets for the duration of World War II.[6] Journalist Duncan Campbell pointed out documents showing that Prescott Bush was a director and shareholder of a number of companies involved with Thyssen.[6]
According to journalist Joe Conason, Prescott Bush’s involvement with UBC was purely commercial and he was not a Nazi sympathizer.[9] Historian Herbert Parmet agreed with that assessment.[7]
Riiiiggghhtt…
12PS, they all got their seized assets back after WWII ended.
If that had been you or I, would we ever recover anything? And now it may not even be the mighty Feds seizing your stuff, any little podunk police force or sheriff can do that too, just because.
‘Murikkka, land of the cowered, home of the fearful, prey of the 0.1%.
The word Nixon is superfluous.
13I thoroughly enjoyed that little ditty. Thanks for the link Rastybob. It was first rate. Now I feel better about newts. I mean the slimy, squirmy, 4 legged, gilled, crawling on their bellies critters. Not the other one.
14Don’t forget Teheran Tom Cotton
15Well that first HUAC worked out so well, didn’t Newtie?
Oh, I forgot. Which one of us a PhD in History? That dinky college in Georgia needs to rescind his.
16Newt, why don’t you crawl back under that nice wet rock where you’ve been living for the past eight years.
I really enjoyed missing you, so go away again.
17Way back in time, in West Texas, I had a teacher/coach that said this: “If you are an American, and it ain’t illegal, then it is an ‘American’ activity.”
He despised the terms “Un-American Activity.” I guess he taught me something, because I do too.
Hey Newt, I don’t think that those words mean what you think they do…
18Mrs. Gingrich #3 must be tired of him golfing and staying on the Internet. She must be pushing the Newtster into getting a “real” job other than the occasional Sunday morning talking gig. I remember what that (censored) did to the late Jim Wright (D-TX12).
19Right on, JJ…..and love the ditty of the am
20Newt has been on the terrorist list since he took out the Contract on America back in 1994.
21Waitaminnit…wasn’t Newtie Speaker of the House when Congress decided NOT to keep track of domestic terrorism? That the only terrorists who needed to be tracked were the ones from foreign shores? And so the whole separatist movements blossomed, and the BundyBunch kids got to grow up insane and entitled, and there were obvious domestic terrorists like Roof shooting people in bunches but that wasn’t *called* terrorism because it wasn’t allowable to study homegrown terrorism.
22And to think some “institute of higher learning” pays him $300K per year to teach… history (!!?).
God help us all.
23Oh dear.
