Agree on Grover Norquist. I’ve seen enough on him to convince me he’s a two-faced weasel and no conservative.
Why does the NRA allow this skunk to sit on the Board of Directors?
Thanks for the ping!

Wish I had an answer for you—I don’t. Best I can do is speculate. In the past, the NRA Washington lobbyists have gained a reputation for supporting certain candidates and legislation that some (perhaps many) conservative NRA members oppose. The NRA is notorious for being narrowly focused on the Second Amendment, hunting and guns to the extent of overlooking or ignoring just about everything else. Because Norquist has a conservative reputation (or did) and has always been a strong Second Amendment advocate, I would guess that has been good enough for the NRA brass.
Thanks for your input.
I think the NRA of which I am a life-long member, should widen their scope and look at the big picture. That being a Muslim takeover of our country where nobody will have a gun except the muzzies (0bama’s brown shirts).
I do not mean to defend Norquist, I am always glad that Gaffney is constantly calling him out, but I disagree with your interpretation of the quote:
“I started out as a right-winger, and when I retire I want to be a squishy middle-of-the-roader,” he jokes, chortling at the thought.
I interpret that to mean that he will not change his views, but that the center of the political spectrum will move to accommodate his views. I would be curious as to when he made this quote, though.
