Should I be mad at the NRA? {Vanity}

Question is should I be mad at the NRA? Traditionally the NRA has always been a one issue totally non-partisan outfit, and this is one of the things that I have always liked about them. Most of the time they are behind Republicans but that is because virtually all Democrats are lying anti gun wackos.

So what is making me wonder about the NRA? First they make an immoral backdoor deal with Nancy Pelosi, then they are throwing their full support in an attempt to get Harry Reid reelected and now.....

In this months American Rifleman magazine there is a giant fold out ad for Chevrolet trucks. Now they have the right to accept advertising from anyone they wish but "GM"? You know the government motors that are now run by Democrats.

So this now begs the question, has the NRA sold its soul to the Democrats? And for what?

Same here.

E-mail I sent to a few people:

Sheesh! This outfit is not getting one more red cent from me until I get resolved in my mind whose fugging side they’re on. Honestly, they cannot possibly mention Harry Reid in any kind of favorable manner and stay in good graces with their membership. After ZERO (0bama), Harry Reid is almost the next most despicable specimen of human life there is to be found on this planet. He is a communist and does not give a rat’s ass about the Second Amendment, or for that matter much anything else in the constitution.

Keep an eye on this... there may be more to come. For reference, the article is on page 36 of the NRA’s publication America’s 1st Freedom magazine June 2010 issue and the title is A real Home On The Range. It’s basically about pork barrel spending by Harry Reid to get a nice range in Nevada in the interest of prostituting for votes. I will save it. I am personally disappointed that the NRA lowered themselves in this manner.

God help us all.

“Here is what I think the NRA has missed, Liberty is not, cannot be, a “one issue” movement.”

Precisely why they cannot be trusted, nor any other “single issue” agitation group. They gladly sell out other ideals in order to fatten their own enterprise. Hence my skepticism about the “economic vs. social” conservative dichotomy. If you are one, you are the other. If you are not one, you are neither.

It’s like the phrase “courage of your convictions”: as if they could be separated.

You are totally wrong. They didn’t make any deal with Nancy Pelosi. The democrats exempted them from DISCLOSE. People on this board keep claiming that NRA made a deal, even though LaPierre denied it every time he was asked.

I was speaking to Allen West about the complaints from so called conservatives concerning DISCLOSE and NRA. He answered very simply.

“Have they ever heard of Saul Alinsky?”

Yes, they have. They think that Rules For Radicals was talking about someone other than them. They can’t even see that they got played.
