The 142nd National Rifle Association Annual Meeting is roaring into Houston for four days of seminars, rallies, prayer breakfasts and country music jam sessions, starting Thursday.
The speaker lineup would make any Fox News junkie's heart skip a beat with appearances by conservative politicos and pundits ranging from to Sarah Palin and Rick Santorum to Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Hell, even Oliver North of Iran-Contra fame will be on hand to sign copies of his new novel.
And yes, don't worry . . . The Nuge will be there in all his Cat Scratch Fever glory for a scheduled talk on Sunday. Additional celebrity appearances (including WWE legend Steve Austin) will take place throughout the weekend on the showroom floor, where convention organizers promise a full nine acres of guns and gear.
If speeches and celebs aren't your thing, there's always the family-friendly air rifle range or the famous NRA Wall of Guns. Here's a quick look at the highlights.

Expect the liberals, atheists, homos, and other 0 supporters to show up and protest. Have an army of undercover videographers taking footage to air on YouTube because you know the MSM won’t show it...
Bring this show to Massachusetts!
Hard to believe we live in the same country. I keep trying to convince my wife that the rest of the country isn’t like us.
It isn’t.
Take her to West Monroe, Louisiana for a vacation and she will figure it out really fast. But if you can’t make it, watch Duck Dynasty for just a flavor.
We already have one of those, the Houston Press.
This "culture map" thing must be a few rungs lower, as I've never heard of it.
This country is pockmarked with highly populated urban areas and mega-metropolitan conglomerations of entitlement minded people who also share the predeliction of liberals to control every aspect of others’ lives. Half the population of this country is there. No real morals, value for human life, or belief in individual freedom.
They are spotted in a vast sea of real Americans, with values. However, this ‘sea’ is getting smaller because this country is allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals in every year, allowing 3rd and 4th world dregs intent on reaping the entitlement bounty here, trying to entice even honest Americans to partake of the bounty (e.g., begging people to sign up for SNAP, etc.).
