So Newt Gingrich is trying to rebuild the GOP and he ponders, “First we must find out what went wrong” (“Party chair may turn to Steele,” Nov. 17).

OK, Newt, permit me the honor of telling you. Simply put, for the past eight years the national GOP under the leadership of George W. Bush has put the interests of globalism ahead of the interests of the USA. Bush was more concerned with his father’s cuckoo ideas of a New World Order than with the interests of the average American. This explains why he allowed millions of illegal immigrants to invade the country unopposed, why he signed off on a North American union with Canada and Mexico and why he invaded Iraq when Iraq did nothing to us.
