Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Wednesday said that “secular socialism” has “infiltrated” the nation’s courts, the Congress, academia, the bureaucracy, Hollywood and the news media and is “even more disturbing than the threats from foreign terrorists.”
Gingrich was plugging his new book “To Save America: Stopping Obama’s Secular Socialist Machine” in an article in Human Events…”The Left has thoroughly infiltrated nearly every cultural commanding height of our civilization,” he says. “That is, they hold power, influence and control of academia, the elite news media, Hollywood, union leaders, trial lawyers, the courts, the Congress, and the bureaucracy at all levels of government.”
