PROUD to be American!

This is worth every minute!

Trailer for the movie he mentions in the NRA speech.

Netflix doesn’t have the movie. You can buy the DVD at http://www.cityuponahill.com/ but it’s not clear to me if it’s been released yet or if these are pre-orders.

Wow! Newt has authored 24 books, including 13 fiction and non-fiction New York Times bestsellers!

The books he mentions in this speech are:

To Try Men’s Souls: A Novel of George Washington and the Fight for American Freedom By Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen (2009)

A Nation Like No Other: Why American Exceptionalism Matters By Newt Gingrich (2011)

Sweet Land of Liberty by Callista Gingrich (Author) and Susan Arciero (Illustrator) – Picture book: “In Sweet Land of Liberty, Ellis the Elephant sets off on a quest to find out. Through an amazing afternoon at the library, Ellis travels through time and discovers the pivotal moments that have shaped our nation’s unique history.”

I’m going to look for these in my on-line library data bank. I recently discovered I can get books at no charge from ANY of the MANY libraries that belong to the Finger Lakes Library System. I put a hold on them via the FLLS web-site and when they come in, I get an email. Dearest does the pick-up and delivery for me.

The only thing I can’t do is browse the shelves, so I’m paying a lot more attention to title suggestions, like Newt gave in this speech. I think I’ll also look for Lynne Cheney’s picture books. They popped up when I searched Callista Gingrich’s picture book and they look wonderful!

    You can listen to and/or download, save and listen to the Constitution read aloud here:

    It took my puter about 3 minutes to download and the reader is really good.

      And yes, I did catch the irony in the source 🙂

        At least Obama is not reading it!

        Newt is the only candidate who has the same passion as Reagan. I just am not sure it is genuine. But I hope he stays in the race til the end. He is the only one saying things we want to hear, and he is keeping the rest of them on their toes.
