Speaking on The O’Reilly Factor, Newt Gingrich said he wants Singapore-style drug tests for Americans. But that’s not the half of it. Here is the exchange.
Bill: “Now, they have no drug problem in Singapore at all, number one, because they hang drug dealers — they execute them. And number two, the market is very thin, because when they catch you using, you go away with a mandatory rehab. You go to some rehab center, which they have, which the government has built. The United States does not have the stomach for that. We don’t have the stomach for that, Mr. Speaker.”
Newt: “Well, I think it’s time we get the stomach for that, Bill. And I think we need a program — I would dramatically expand testing. I think we have — and I agree with you. I would try to use rehabilitation, I’d make it mandatory. And I think we have every right as a country to demand of our citizens that they quit doing illegal things which are funding, both in Afghanistan and in Mexico and in Colombia, people who are destroying civilization.”
And people wonder why I pick on Republicans so much. The Republican Party is not the lesser of two evils; it is pure evil.
