Gingrich: Fear Islamic dictatorship -- themorningcall.com
Former House speaker and possible presidential contender Newt Gingrich, speaking Thursday night at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, conjured up images of an Islamic dictatorship in the United States as the consequence of failure in Iraq.

''It isn't about Israel. It isn't about us being in Iraq,'' Gingrich told about 500 people gathered at the Impact '07 leadership conference at Stabler Arena. ''They want to impose their dictatorship on us.''

In grim terms, Gingrich described the most severe consequences for women, who he said would not have been allowed to attend the Lehigh conference.

''If you want to be able to drive, to have a job, to have a checkbook; if you don't want to have to wear a veil; if you want to be able to appear in public without a man, you'd better hope our team wins,'' Gingrich said


He'd better hope by "our team," he means "America" and not "Republicans," although we all know the subtext. Seriously though, there is a zero percent chance that any of the regimes that exist in the Middle East, or threaten to come to power in that region, could conceivably generate enough of a foothold in North America to "impose their dictatorship on us." Frankly, I'd be more concerned about having another eight years of illegitimate Republican rule imposing their "for our own good" dictatorship on us.
