Are the dry bones coming back to life?

Political pundits are taking notice of a recent bump former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is getting in the polls.

I keep on hearing the talking heads say that Newt is the smartest candidate, but he has baggage. I remember what they are referring to, but I wonder how many others remember or even care in these times.

Is history repeating?

Winston Churchill sat as a non-paid "backbencher" in Parliament for years warning from the fringes of power about the rising Nazi threat. Nobody wanted to hear his pessimism and negativity.

When Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 and WW2 started, Winston, then an old man, was pulled from the ashes and was given his old post from WW1 as First Lord of the Admiralty.

Then, the very day that Nazi tanks stormed into France in 1940, the King named Winston Churchill Prime Minister. It has been said that the only man Hitler feared in England was Winston Churchill.

When a building is burning and you know a man with a fire hose, you don't worry if he has "baggage" from the past.

Recent polls tell us that Americans most are very scared. The world economy is crashing and our enemies are growing in power. The wolves are at the door and the knees of our "so called" leaders are shaking.

Are more Americans waking up? When they watch and listen to the Republican debates, do they see a man who can stop wolves? Is that man Newt Gingrich?

I think so.
