(topic dedicato agli appassionati di politica americana come me)
In seguito a ciò, sono andato a ricercare informazioni su codesto omen, che potrebbe essere il futuro Presidente della Casa Bianca.
Political positions of Newt Gingrich.
Child labor laws
Gingrich has said that children should be able to work at an earlier age. He said: "You say to somebody, you shouldn't go to work before you're what, 14, 16 years of age, fine. [..] but rather was "talking about working 20 hours a week and being empowered to succeed"
Education
Gingrich favors rigorous mathematics and science instruction in public schools, introducing competition between schools and between teachers, and permitting public school prayer.
Taxes
Gingrich favors keeping federal and state taxes as low as possible in order to encourage economic growth. He has stated that he believes the corporate tax rate in the United States is too high and inhibits economic growth and job creation. Pointing to emerging competitors such as India and China, which offer lower corporate tax rates than the United States, Gingrich has recommended the U.S. adopt something similar to Ireland's 12.5% corporate income tax. Gingrich opposes efforts by some Democrats to increase taxes on capital gains. Instead he proposes eliminating the capital gains tax entirely, for both individuals and businesses, to increase incentives for entrepreneurship. Gingrich is an opponent of inheritance taxes, referring to current policy as the "death tax", and argues that abolishing the inheritance tax will create "hundreds of thousands" of new jobs. Gingrich also views the estate tax as a form of double taxation.
Immigration
Gingrich has advanced "a nuanced position" on immigration reform that emphasizes border security and enforcement of immigration laws, as well as expanded immigration and visa programs for law-abiding workers. In a 2006 article in National Review, he called for the formation of "an intelligent center-Right coalition" that "would be for both security and immigration, for accuracy in identity (including a voter card with id and a biometric worker visa card) and patriotic integration of those who want to become American." In January 2011, Gingrich held a forum on Latino issues where he announced a goal to overhaul the country's immigration system so that every worker in the United States is legal within a decade.
Foreign policy
Gingrich has called for a stronger foreign policy, along the lines of the "Reagan model" of toughness", having been critical of the "weakness" of recent administrations' policies. In 2006 Gingrich criticized George W. Bush's stance toward North Korea and Iran, stating that it was "a form of appeasement". He said, "We have accepted the lawyer-diplomatic fantasy that talking while North Korea builds bombs and missiles while the Iranians build bombs and missiles is progress." He has also severely criticized the foreign policy of President Obama for being too weak. Gingrich singled out Obama's responses to terrorism, North Korea, and Iran as particularly problematic. On North Korea he said, "There was amazing symbolism in North Korea deciding to launch a missile the very day President Obama was speaking to Europeans about his fantasy of nuclear disarmament. The West has talked with North Korea for over 15 years and they just keep building nuclear weapons and missiles. We have been talking with the Iranians for a decade and they continue to build nuclear capability and missiles
Israel
As an informal adviser to the Pentagon in June 2003, Gingrich prepared a six-page memo for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. In the document, he outlined "Seven Strategic Necessities" for U.S. policy in the Middle East following the invasion of Iraq. His suggestions included advice on how to approach ongoing conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians, noting that "America does not have a doctrine for total war against an enemy who is hiding behind a civilian population." According to The Washington Post, Rumsfeld "put a small check next to that paragraph". In a 2009 speech to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee Gingrich called for the withdrawal of funds from Durban II, suspending Iran's right to vote at the United Nations, cutting off supplies of gasoline to Iran in order to force regime change, and creating an alternative to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In a December 2011 interview Gingrich referred to the Palestinians as "an invented people" and called the Israeli-Palestinian peace process a "delusional" undertaking.
Islamic issues
Gingrich supports the creation of federal legislation that would ban the application of Islamic law (Sharia) in courts in any jurisdiction in the United States. In November 2010, voters in Oklahoma considered a ballot measure banning Sharia from state courts. In a speech on July 29, 2010, at the American Enterprise Institute, he stated: "The fight against sharia and the maddrassas and mosques which teach hatred and fanaticism is the heart of the enemy movement from which the terrorists spring forth. ... One of the things I am going to suggest today is a federal law which says no court anywhere in the United States under any circumstance is allowed to consider Sharia as a replacement for American law." GRANDE!
In response to the Park51 controversy, Gingrich opposed the center and stated, "There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us while they demand our weakness and submission is over." He also said, "We as Americans don't have to tolerate people who are supportive of violence against us, building something at the site of the violence." His comment comparing the construction of the Islamic center with "putting a Nazi sign next to the Holocaust Museum", was criticized by conservative commentator Pat Buchanan GRANDISSIMO!
Torture
Gingrich has stated he is "totally opposed to the United States using any form of torture to obtain information as a matter of public policy", except in cases of grave threats to national security.
