Gingrich: The Left Is A Bigger Threat To America Than Foreign Terrorists

In his new book, To Save America, Newt Gingrich argues that President Obama and Democrats are building a "secular-socialist machine" that threatens the American way of life.  The book is "laced with" comparisons to Nazi Germany, which the former House Speaker views as a similar menace.  Today, Gingrich went even further in a new column at Human Events, claiming that "The Left" poses a greater danger than foreign terrorists:

In the 20th Century, America fought and defeated Nazism, Fascism, Imperialism and Communism -- four existential threats to our survival. 

In this century, America is facing two different kinds of threats, though no less grave.  This time, the threat does not come from nation-state superpowers, but from non-state networks, each pursuing an agenda based upon radical ideologies.  The first motivates non-state terrorist networks to kill Americans both here and abroad.  But even more disturbing than the threats from foreign terrorists is a second threat that is right here at home.  It is an ideology so fundamentally at odds with historic American values that it threatens to undo the cultural ethics that have made our country great.  I call it "secular-socialism."

The Left has thoroughly infiltrated nearly every cultural commanding height of our civilization.
