"I don't think right-wing social engineering is any more desirable than left-wing social engineering," Gingrich said on "Meet the Press" Sunday morning. "I don't think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for a free society to operate."

The more authorities pore through records confiscated during the Navy SEALs' raid on Osama bin Laden's compound, the more we discover what was going on in his obsessed, full-of-hatred-for-Americans mind.
The latest discovery, says ABC News, was that, in his writings, the al-Quaida leader constantly urged his followers to kill President Barack Obama and do everything they could to disrupt the 2012 elections.
