The correct endorsement for this race can be found at the link for Oregon Firearms Federation.

Here is the letter I send back everytime the NRA asked for money.

The NRA has become disconnected from the concept of a country where the Second Amendment can retain a viable existence. Instead the is an organization which will make any compromise necessary to retain an appearance of power within the cohort of Washington’s elite. Your support for the son of McCain-Feingold, Harry Reid, and John McCain are just the most recent examples of your character. I could develop this subject in many areas, but I will limit your absence of correct analysis to McCain.

No conservative, no thinking person, and especially not the NRA, should ever have supported John McCain. I could give you expositions similiar to that below concerning your unfathomable support for Harry Reid, and legislation damaging free speech, which should always have priority over some misquided focus on single issue politics.

Besides his problems of granting amnesty to illegal aliens and restricting freedom of speech, he has proven himself severely deficient in the areas of national security and integrity.

John McCain lacks leadership for the War on Terror. His leadership codified the Army interrogation manual fabricating legal combatants from terrorists. His leadership granted terrorists American citizenship rights under Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. He thereby ensures information vital to defeat terrorists always remains sacred and unobtainable. Terrorists are unresponsive to direct questioning and psychological gambits. Therefore, interrogators need all stress and coercion techniques our military encounters in survival schools. McCain embraces liberal orthodoxy considering those methods torture, but his searing experiences call forth contrary insights he must suppress.

McCain understands the impossibility of fabricating an association of terrorists with Common Article Three of the Geneva Conventions, when they do participate in international armed conflict, lack pacific character in regard to hostilities, and do not meet any definition of legitimate armed forces. Instead he understands that Article 13 of the First and Second Geneva Conventions and Article Three of the Fourth Convention must be consulted. McCain knows terrorists are not insurgents or freedom fighters; when captured, certainly not prisoners of war. They are not armed forces, militias, or volunteer corps of any country or authority. These killers are not members of organized resistance movements carrying arms openly. They have no distinctive identifier. Terrorists cannot even qualify as spies or saboteurs destroying infrastructure required to support military operations.

McCain understands Geneva Conventions intended to isolate such forces, provide them few protections, and allow destruction with any overwhelming furies needed to crush their abominations. Knowing these factors he promised to close Guantanamo Bay, inviting terrorists into our legal system. He decided to accommodate their extraordinarily savage behavior within our country, and thereby checkmate national laws intended to manage simple murder and kidnapping, and render Posse Comitatus a crumbling deception.

McCain especially appreciates from our Constitution that laws guaranteeing civil liberties presuppose operation within an invincible society. He understands Alexander Hamilton’s words that the reality of devastating, unforeseeable perils must lead deliberations about national security. The primary responsibility of the Federal government’s three branches is to pursue Hamilton’s admonition that powers exist without limitation; providing capabilities thwarting looming dangers as well as responding to attacks. McCain understands powerful warfare capabilities require potent intelligence acquisition and exploitation before and throughout military campaigns.

The framers of our Constitution and the Geneva Conventions held powerful positions throughout the darkest times of our country and the world. They were our Founding Fathers, and parents and grandparents of the Greatest Generation. Their words expressed durable morality earned in our fight for freedom, and against the ultimate bloody deluges of the 20th century. These first generations expressed principles derived from confronting shattering tragedies, and earning peace through victory.

John McCain’s actions are particularly reprehensible because he turns a blind eye to the council of these people. McCain continually sought popular advancement on national security issues by actions which placated those coveting luxurious, asymmetrical morality requiring shelter from perilous choices and awareness of danger. His crime is the repudiating military and intelligence professionals facing hard choices when confronting shrewd, ruthless enemies obscured behind frightening uncertainties.

McCain in his reelection campaign again displayed a boundless absence of integrity as he followed the success of Bill Clinton, who cemented in politics for both parties the idea that character did not matter. There are no principles, but only ideas that secure possession of an office. John McCain has proven the most prominent Republican example of this new direction towards possession of political power through careful exploitation of perceived expediency.

Politics is the art of compromise and leadership is the art of principle. Abraham Lincoln used superb political skills to implement some of the most cogent and insightful principles to guide this nation. John McCain has used political skills to implement compromises consistent with increasing his personal acclaim among liberal media and politicians, and has now adapted his political skills to showcase an aura of conservative enlightenment to Arizona voters. Lincoln is now dead and McCain is alive, but dead to principles unrelated to his immediate personal advancement. He used this aspect of his character to proclaim profound revelations concerning the value of conservative principles. The charade convincing Arizona voters about the irrelevancy of his political history is just the most recent example of his habitual, reprehensible behavior.

John McCain has succumbed to the terrible addiction of political power. The same addiction expressed itself differently in fellow Navy officer Randy Cunningham, who was the Navy’s first Vietnam ace. Over the decades the honor and moral authority of both were gradually traded away for influence in the political arena. There is a vast, immeasurable gulf separating John McCain from the genuine people who dealt with the issues sponsoring the Geneva Conventions and our Constitution. He much more equates with the parasites now feeding upon the prosperity and security so painfully forged for their benefit. We now suffer imposters like him with such extraordinary mental athletic prowess as to scale unheard of heights of arrogance and studied ignorance and achieve unparalleled duplicity.

To me McCain is like a cadaver prepared for viewing. The removal of blood and organs equates to the trading away of honor and moral authority. The reputation that remains is like the cosmetics applied for viewing a corpse at the funeral. It is easy for anyone to get onto the same sort of gently downward sloping path. The final result is tragic, but we should not suffer such pathetic and contemptible modern day Macbeths or Hamlets as Republicans in the Senate or any other public office.

I could give you similar expositions to that concerning your unfathomable support for Harry Reid, and legislation damaging free speech, which should always have priority over some misquided focus on single issue politics. I am disgusted that people who should have a clear understanding of Constitutional principles and ethics could engage in such myopic, degraded Washington politics. Be assured you will never receive any help from me beyond the gun club membership payment I am compelled to make.

P.S.

I have saved this letter in a Word file titled “NRA Treason” and will return a copy of every request you send me for support.

Its time for the gorillas to quick beating their chests and jumping around about this - I’m a NRA Life Member and they are right 99% of the time on the issues and the people they support. Don’t you or I wish we could be right 99% of the time on just about anything?

Quit whining about cutting up your NRA card over the 1% wrong and see if you can agree with the 99% right that they do in protecting our 2nd Amendment freedoms and supporting conservative candidates for public office.

Our 2nd Amendment freedoms would have probably been lost long ago without the NRA fighting in the trenches for us and future generations of Americans.

You will never be happy with any group or any person if you only expect 100% perfection all the time - the only exception is Almighty God.

Yes. I know I created some wording problems in this posting and I fixed them. Darn.

I am mailing a revised letter to Ted Nugent.

I don’t expect 100% agreement. Nor do I expect them to be spending my money to help keep Nancy Pelosi in power. If you like her, that’s your business. I don’t. This is a pretty important election for a lot of reasons, in case you hadn’t noticed. It looks to me like the NRA is actively working AGAINST what I believe. If I can’t count on them at times like this, when can I count on them?

I’m sorry you are blinded by your allegiance. There are other rights organizations that do good work and don’t stab me in the back when I’m not looking.

Every DemonRatwill vote to confirm Supreme court Justices like Bryer, Ginsberg, Sotomayor, and Kagan WHO WILL VOTE AGAINST THE SECOND AMENDMENT!!!

What happened to the NRA?????? When Heston was there, they scared the hell out of the DemonRats. In the 90s they were awesome. Looks like we need another organization to look after gun rights.

You have said what needs to be said. Thank you for such a great insight into the truth. God bless our troops!

Thank you. I will keep trying on this issue.
