'''Newt Gingrich''' (born June 17, 1943) is a [[conservative]] politician. Gingrich served as Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1995 to 1999. Widely considered a mastermind of the Republican revolution that swept [[Congress]] in the 1994 elections, the well-known architect of the “[[Contract with America]]” <ref>http://www.newt.org/backpage.asp?art=59</ref> that led the Republican Party to victory in 1994 by capturing the majority in the U.S. House for the first time in forty years.

Gingrich remains very popular among many conservatives. He has repeatedly placed near the top of Republican presidential polls recently, even though he has not formed a campaign committee.

Under his leadership, Congress passed [[welfare reform]], passed the first balanced budget in a generation, and passed the first tax cut in sixteen years. In additi LOL you're getting sloppy, come on, ban me on, the Congress restored funding to strengthen our defense and intelligence capabilities, an action later lauded by the bipartisan [[9/11 Commission]].

Gingrich's congressional career ended in 1998 when he abruptly resigned from Congress after poor showings from Republicans in elections and after being reprimanded by the House ethics panel over charges that he used tax-exempt funding to advance his political goals. He was later cleared of any wrongdoing.<ref>http://www.salon.com/news/letters/2006/01/11/gingrich/index.html</ref>
Newt Gingrich has publicly admitted to having been engaged in an extra-marital sexual relationship during the period he was pushing for Clinton's impeachment. ""The honest answer is yes," Gingrich, a potential 2008 Republican presidential candidate, said in an interview with Focus on the Family founder [[James Dobson]]. "There are times that I have fallen short of my own standards. There's certainly times when I've fallen short of God's standards." Gingrich argued in the interview, however, that he should not be viewed as a hypocrite for pursuing Clinton's infidelity. "''The President of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge''," the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton's 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. "I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials." <ref>http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1597666,00.html?cnn=yes</ref>

== Speakership ==
*All ten items in the Contract With America were brought to a vote in the U.S. House in the first 100 days (the promise was to bring them to a vote). Nine of the ten items passed the House. The sole exception was term limits which received a plurality but required a two-thirds majority as a Constitutional Amendment.
*Committee Chairmen were term-limited as was the Speakership.
*The Legislative branch was cut including the Speaker's office. Also reduced were committee sizes. Unnecessary perks like the House barbershop, shoeshine and ice service were eliminated.
*The Congress was forced to live under the same laws as the rest of the land - OSHA, disabilities, workplace laws, members, staff etc.
*A big six accounting firm audited the U.S. House's finances for the first time in history.
*The Budget was balanced for the first time in a generation. When Time Magazine named Gingrich their Man of the Year in 1995, they said that because of Newt a balanced budget was no longer a question of if, but when.
*Taxes were cut for the first time in 17 years. Included were a cut in the capital gains tax, a $500 per child tax credit and new tax credits for tuition to college and voc-tech schools. The cap gains tax actually ended being scored as a revenue increase, a shift in tax policy debate due to Gingrich's success.
*Military spending increased for the first time in over 10 years including funding for a national missile defense.
*The line-item veto passed and was signed into law.
*Six of the bills were signed into law by the President. (In 1996, [[Bill Clinton| President Clinton]] pointed to 13 separate reforms that were contained within the Contract with America at the Democratic National Convention.)<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/acceptance-speech-to-1996-democratic-convention</ref>
*More women were appointed to leadership positions in the House than anytime in history.
*Increased funding for the Violence Against Women Act by 700%.
*[[Megan's Law]] was passed. <ref>http://www.registeredoffenderslist.org/national-alert/?engine=adwords!3475&keyword=%2Amegan%27s+law%2A&match_type=&gclid=CKC_9fSEi4sCFSMhYQodWTGRHQ</ref><ref>http://www.klaaskids.org/pg-legmeg.htm</ref>
<ref>http://www.newt.org/backpage.asp?art=31</ref>

== Post Congressional Activities ==
*Started the Center for Health Transformation, January 2003. <ref>http://www.healthtransformation.net/about/History/</ref>

== Quotes ==
*“It is impossible to maintain civilization with 12-year-olds having babies, with 15-year-olds killing each other, with 17-year-olds dying of AIDS and with 18-year-olds getting diplomas they can't read”
*If Thomas Edison invented electric light today, Dan Rather would report it on CBS News as "candle making industry threatened".”
*“The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.”
*“All free people stand on Reagan's shoulders. His principled policies proved that free markets create wealth, that the rule of law sustains freedom, and that all people everywhere deserve the right to dream, to pursue their dreams, and to govern themselves.”
*“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”<ref>http://thinkexist.com/quotes/newt_gingrich/</ref>
== Writings ==

As an author, Gingrich has published nine books including the best sellers, ''Contract with America'' and ''To Renew America'' and his most recent book, ''Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America''. In June 2005, ''Never Call Retreat'' concluded Newt's series of active history studies in the lessons of warfare based on a fictional account of the [[Battle of Gettysburg]] and its aftermath. And in ''Saving Lives & Saving Money'', Gingrich demonstrates how to transform health and healthcare into a 21st century system.<ref>http://www.newt.org/backpage.asp?art=71][http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=blended&field-keywords=newt%20gingrich%20books&results-process=default&dispatch=search/ref=pd_sl_aw_tops-1_blended_28026792_1&results-process=default</ref>
== Personal Life ==

*In 1962, Gingrich married Jackie Battley, his former high school geometry teacher, when he was 19 years old; she was seven years his senior at 26 years old. They had two daughters together. Gingrich divorced Jackie Battley in 1980.
*Gingrich married Marianne Ginther in late 1981. Gingrich, who frequently campaigned on family values issues, divorced his second wife, Marianne, in 2000 after his attorneys acknowledged Gingrich's relationship with his current wife, Callista Bisek, a former congressional aide more than 20 years younger than he is.
*By August 2000, Gingrich married Bisek.
*The Gingrich family includes two daughters, two sons-in-law, and two grandchildren.
*Gingrich's half-sister, Candice, is a lesbian and gay rights activist.<ref>http://www.amazon.ca/gp/reader/0684836556/ref=sib_dp_pt/701-6663250-4643543#reader-page</ref>

==vandals==

Here's my question - some people are creating articles that have offensive titles, but benign content. In these situations, I can delete the content, but the offensive title still exists on a site. I know the Sysops can delete these entirely, but is there anything I can do to erase that material? All I know to do is alert Sysops of the problem, but if nobody is available to delete it immediately, the articles can sit on the site and look bad for the site. Any ideas? --[[User:Thammersmith|Thammersmith]] 13:27, 20 April 2007 (EDT)

I just wanted to ask why the Ted Stevens got reverted out of the "internet" article. The series of tubes statement is getting passed around a lot and I think people need to know where it came from.1

== Beaver ? ==

''"Jeremiah, after seeing your edits to Biscuit and Beaver, I don't know why I haven't blocked you yet."''

I really don't know what you're talking about here; my [[Beaver]] article is '''entirely factual'''.

Lots of animals are classified as fish by the Catholic Church for Lenten dietary purposes; I thought that was an interesting beaver-related fact. I will get you a citation for it... Here [http://anvil.unl.edu/agnes/RecreatingLent.htm]

Had I wished to create a properly satirical article about ''Beavers'' it would surely have been rather different, just run the implications of the word through your mind...

(My biscuit article was entirely factual too, that sort of thing really does go on - again I can get you a reference if you like.) If you considered the material to be irrelevent or inappropriate, you were free to remove it. Defining it as vandalism (and blocking me for it) was a most unfair and disproportionate reaction in my opinion.

You've blocked me unjustly once, and now you're persecuting me about the content of a completely authentic article. Please stop doing this. --[[User:Jeremiah4-22|Jeremiah4-22]] 20:27, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

Well, I can't say I agree with your assessment of the "edit war" at Fargo. The source was eventually added, btw, so I think I was right. [[User:Flippin|Flippin]] 09:34, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

== NAMBLA ==

I certainly don't advocate for NAMBLA or the inclusion of the link, but for the sake of knowledge, NAMBLA has never explicitly supported man-boy love; they promote the legalization of such activity.

Take another look at my contributions the past few days since the reversal of my block. Take a look at what icewedge has contributed to the site in the last few days. Then ask whether a post by icewedge with a vague cryptic remark on my wikipedia talk page tips the scales relative to my contributions to put me under investigation. If you are curious about why I post that message on various talk pages, feel free to ask me directly. [[User:Tmtoulouse|Tmtoulouse]] 18:21, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

No harm, no foul. I am only pressing this point because I am a member of this community, there is WAY to much of this SYSOPS vs. Editors war floating around. Lets work towards breaking down that wall. We are both humanbeings, whatever usergroup we are in shouldn't force use to talk past or around each other.

As to why I post that message, take a look at the users I post it too. They are not vandals, they are not people that are bad. They are people that have a political, scientific, and cultural view much like my own. They also share a common interest in wiki editing and have decided to try conservapedia out. Much like myself. This is a group of people with a lot in common. We like to talk to each other about a range of things. Its off-topic to CP and doesn't belong here. So when I see someone that I think would be interested in our group I invite them to contact me and we talk about it. Nothing nefarious there. [[User:Tmtoulouse|Tmtoulouse]] 18:26, 27 April 2007 (EDT)

Could you please delete a page for me. I'm an idiot and was working while watching tv. I accidentally mistyped the page I wanted as "Deviance Behaviour" instead of "Deviant Behaviour". I can't figure out how to undo it, so it must mean I can't. Thanks --[[User:TrueGrit|TrueGrit]] 00:01, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

==Bohdan==
I see you're still having trouble with Icewedge. His post on Bohdan's userpage looks like they're working together. Do you think a block of Bohdan is necessary? [[User:Reaganomist|Reaganomist]] 14:18, 28 April 2007 (EDT)

== Simpsons are really liberal ==

Homer punched out George Bush and called president Bush Commander Kookoobananas. Not to mention that he supported Republican parodys Mr. Burns as governor and sideshow Bob. Somebody should show how liberal they really are!!!

Chancroid

2007-04-29T21:14:27Z

Alfa Papa:

'''Chancroid''' is a sexually transmitted [[disease]] (''STD'') caused by [[bacteria]]. It is common in [[tropical]] countries but rare in other parts of the world. Chancroid is spread by sexual contact with an infected individual. The bacteria are more likely to invade the sexual [[organ]]s at the point of an injury, such as a small cut or scratch. The likelihood of transmission is greater if a person is very active sexually and does not practice personal hygiene. Any sexually active person can be infected with chancroid. It is more commonly seen in men than in women, particularly [[circumcision|uncircumcised]] males.

==Symptoms==
The first sign of infection is usually the appearance of one or more sores or raised bumps on the genital organs. Sores are surrounded by a narrow red border which soon becomes filled with pus and eventually ruptures, leaving a painful open sore. In half of untreated cases, the chancroid bacteria infect the [[lymph]] glands in the groin. Within five to 10 days of the appearance of primary sores, the glands on one or both sides of the groin become enlarged, hard and painful. A rounded painful swelling results which may eventually rupture. Symptoms usually appear four to seven days after exposure. Chancroid is contagious as long as the infected person has any open sores. The open sores contain bacteria and any contact with these sores can result in infection. Untreated chancroid often results in ulcers occurring on the genitals. Sometimes the ulcers persist for weeks or months.

==Treatment==
Chancroid may be successfully treated with certain [[antibiotic]]s. [[Lesion]]s and [[ulcer]]s can be expected to heal within two weeks. Stopping the spread of chancroid is easiest if you:
* Limit the number of your sex partners.
* Use a [[condom]]. <-- how the fuck is that treatment lol?
* Carefully wash genitals after coitus.
* If you think you are infected, avoid any sexual contact and visit your local clinic, a hospital or your doctor.

Alfa Papa: Undo revision 135217 by Special:Contributions/DanH (User talk:DanH)

<big><center>'''Conservapedia History'''</center></big>

This page is intended to give newcomers to the site a glossary of terms & moments in Conservapedia history that they may hear about. It should be absolutely neutral, with a simple description of the event, and no spin whatsoever.

== Users ==
'''Richard:''' [[user:Richard|Richard]] was a Conservapedia administrator, until it was discovered that he was actually a liberal blog writer, using his administrator as a persona to mock Conservapedia, and gather material for his blog.

'''Icewedge:''' Icewedge is a recurring vandal on Conservapedia. Although his user name has appeared - and been blocked - in many forms (e.g., "Ic3w3dg3"), it is suspected that the persona of Icewedge has been adopted by more than one vandal. Icewedge is no longer one user but is now a rallying cry for those brave enough to stand against the corrupt Conservapedian admins, such as [[User:Conservative|Conservative]]. Either way, the Icewedge character is a vandal of unequaled awesomeness.

== Defining Moments ==
'''The [[Evolution]] War''': a conflict between many editors and administrators, all with different points of view, on the content of the [[evolution]] article page. The edit conflict was eventually solved by submission to the "Panel," which has only spoken on this one issue. The article's content - largely anti-Darwin invective - was deemed appropriate, locked, and kept in stasis.

'''The Great Donut War''': a make-believe edit war, where several users engaged in purposeful reversions and mock ideological conflict on the article [[donut]]. The goal was to make light of the many ideological conflicts on Conservapedia. The conflict ended when one user was banned (to be lifted within the hour), the [[donut]] article was locked, the banning editor locked his talk page, and submitted the article to the Panel. All the "damage" was later undone.
