Trump
Vs. China – Newt Gingrich – (Center Street)
Given the recent uneducated and often down right stupid
comments from NBA players, coaches and league officials – what better way to
explain China’s worldview than by using a sports analogy. China is the
equivalent of the New England Patriots; they will lie, cheat, steal or doing
pretty much anything to win or give themselves an unfair advantage.
For the clueless money grubbers in the NBA - this really
isn’t that hard – it’s as simple as understanding the difference between a
murderous, totalitarian dictatorship (China) and a system based on freedom and
free markets (the U.S.) Simple enough that even dopey libs like Steve Kerr and
Greg Popovich should be able to get it.
If that doesn’t quite get to the bottom-line then I
suggest picking up former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich’s new book Trump Vs. China, in which he lays out in
straight forward terms, why China is an existential threat to the future of our
country. Gingrich, as always, brings his insider’s depth of knowledge to this
examination and breaks down the multiple layers of the threat and offers a
detailed plan for facing it down. He keeps it simple enough that even a
shooting guard or LeBron James should be able to understand, if they had
someone read it to them.
There is a simple difference between those who are
willing to sacrifice principles (NBA) and intellectual property, in the pursuit
of money and those who are willing to stand up and push back against the tyranny
of Communist dictators. Gingrich makes it clear that this is a battle where one
side will win, and one side will lose; a true battle of good vs. evil.
No greater example exhibits this better than the
protestors in Hong Kong who fly the American flag and see the U.S. as a beacon
of hope. Are we perfect? No, but who is? As president Ronald Reagan famously
said, “America is a shinning city on a hill, whose beacon light guides freedom
loving people everywhere.” Put that in your bong and smoke Mr. Popovich.
