NEWT GINGRICH: The Real War II: Defining success

I argued in my column earlier this week that we are engaged in a real war that will almost certainly be a long war as well. The war is worldwide and its center of gravity is the internet and other forms of communication. "A third world war" is how King Abdullah of Jordan described it.

NEWT GINGRICH: The collapse of the Democratic Party

At least since the election of Barack Obama in 2008, Republicans have been hearing that their party is on the verge of extinction. The only thing the media pundits haven't seemed able to agree on is what will be the cause of death.
