What Lurks over the Horizon? Redux

I wrote “What Lurks over the Horizon?” November 2008 just before the General Election. At that time, several “conservative” outlets were routinely publishing my commentaries, but none of them wanted to publish this piece. Go figure. A few months later I started my own blog, The Millstone Diaries. It was my first blog post, and I posted it for posterity’ sake March 2009. Read it if you dare. Peace.

What Lurks over the Horizon?

America stands poised at the edge of a precipice; her next step could send her plummeting headlong to an untimely death. Yet, to even suggest such a possibility opens the door to charges of alarmism or hyperbolic fear-mongering. The chattering classes preach that a dictatorship can’t happen here; America will survive even with one-party rule and a radical socialist in the White House. The radio talk-show host, whose persistent pipes of “Let not your heart be troubled,” has done little to allay my fears for what is likely to happen to my country if the Democrats gain a super majority in Congress and Barack Obama wins the presidency.

It seems that conservative and libertarian pundits and commentators have not connected the dots to see the picture that I see, for they would be sounding the alarm and warning Americans of the radicalism that is about to bring down their nation. Then again, perhaps some have captured the image through their rose-colored glasses but are so attached to their celebrity status that they dare not point it out for fear of being ostracized and labeled a “kook” by their more “sensible” colleagues.

Call me a kook and detest me, but name-calling and rejection will not stop this watchman from warning our fence-sitting Americans of what lurks over the horizon. Facts are stubborn things; they are not opinions subject to debate, and for that reason, two plus two always equal four, not five, contrary to the slogans in Stalin’s Soviet Union or the announcements from the Party of Big Brother in George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. Orwell’s protagonist, Winston Smith, who works in the media and creates the Party’s deceptive propaganda, doesn’t know for sure if two plus two equal five, as the Party claims, “If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable—what then?”

Here we stand a divided country on the brink of entering a nightmare world, unprecedented in American politics, with an undecided electorate who are unsure for whom they will vote in this election. They see Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum, six of one, half-dozen of the other, without a dime’s difference between them. Like Winston Smith, they don’t know if two plus two equal four or two and two make five.

Unlike Smith, our undecideds don’t live in an Orwellian society under a totalitarian government, at least not yet, so why don’t they know a radical socialist when they see one? Perhaps they can’t distinguish a radical socialist from a moderate conservative because they have absorbed so much conflicting information from the media making it impossible to sort out.

Conservative pundits and commentators have made a critical error in judgment by depicting Obama as the most liberal member of the Senate. Obama is anything but liberal; he is a radical socialist ideologue whose worldview and personality traits align him more with the revolutionary demagogues Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez than they do George McGovern and Jimmy Carter. This is why Castro writes in a column that Obama is “the most progressive candidate for the U.S. presidency.”

Add the word progressive to the word Democrat and you get activists demanding a socialist agenda; i.e., massive income redistribution from corporations and the wealthy to low income workers and the poor; massive reductions in military spending; an increase in social welfare spending; universal healthcare; living wage laws; the right of all workers to organize into labor unions and to engage in strikes and collective bargaining; the abolition of significant portions of the Patriot Act; the legalization of gay marriage; strict campaign finance reform laws; a complete pullout from the war in Iraq; a crackdown on free trade and corporate welfare; and the Freedom of Choice Act, which would cancel every state, federal, and local regulation on abortion, abolish all state restrictions on government funding for abortions, and if Obama is elected, use income taxes to fund abortions.

In other words, you get the issues and causes championed by both the House Progressive Caucus (HPC), which is now the single largest partisan caucus in the United States House of Representatives, and the country’s most radical socialist presidential candidate. HPC, a group made up of the most radical social democrats in Congress, is involved in symbiotic relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which is the largest socialist organization in the United States.is the principal affiliate of the Socialist International, which claims to be the successor to Karl Marx’s “First International,” founded in London in 1864.

During his commencement address at Harvard, Alexander Solzhenitsyn said, “socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death.” Eric Hoffer correctly analyzed that socialist movements attract the misfits who are dissatisfied with themselves and their lives, who blame their own condition on outside forces, and think that a change in the world around them will suddenly transform their identities and magically cure their problems. The people caught up in socialist movements are searching for meaning in their lives; therefore, they often hate the present and passionately seek a perfect tomorrow.

Hoffer understood that America had a vigorous and healthy society because of the quality of its common people. Until recently, most Americans have been comfortable in their own skin and satisfied with their own lives, which explains why they have not been mesmerized by socialist movements such as Nazism, fascism, and communism. But now, far too many Americans are mesmerized by Obama’s words and image, not for what he’s accomplished, but for what they hope he will become.

Never before has a politician had such a captivating effect on so many Americans. Such a grandiose claim “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for” by the charismatic leader of change about himself and the ruling clique of radical socialists in Congress is reason enough to give pause. Mark Levin says his greatest concern is whether the majority of voters will prove “susceptible to the appeal of a charismatic demagogue.”

It’s regrettable when any nation’s people surrender their hearts and minds over to a despot; but when the electorate of the freest people in the greatest nation on earth do it, “[t]his prospect frightens me much more than bombs.” What happened in Germany with Hitler, happened again in Cuba with Castro, and can happen here in the United States with Obama. It was the ordinary people who carried out the leader’s heinous crimes and murders believing in the glorious tomorrow promised them. “Of all tyrannies,” writes C.S. Lewis, “a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.”

The Germans had enormous war debts and a terrible economy, so they believed the charismatic leader who personified hope and went on to elect the National Socialist Workers Party (Nazis) that promised change. The Cubans also supported a young, charismatic leader who promised change, and they openly embraced his idea without asking what kind of change or knowing the price they would have to pay. The upshot for our undecided electorate to ponder is that freedom is not free and “is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

HOUSE REPUBLICANS THREATEN GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN IF PP IS NOT DEFUNDED

House Republicans Threaten Government Shut Down if PP Is not Defunded

By Jerry A. Kane

The Republican-controlled Senate will go through the motions and conduct a sham vote tomorrow evening on a stand-alone bill to de-fund Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.

The sham legislation is designed to deceive low-information conservatives and knee-jerk pro-lifers into believing Senate Republicans actually want to defund PP. Had Senate Republicans really wanted to defund PP, they would have done it by including an amendment to the Highway Bill where the Republican majority in the Senate could have easily passed it with 50 votes. But Senate Majority Leader and chief Obama enabler Mitch McConnell opted instead to adopt Harry Reid’s underhanded “fill-the-tree” trick to stop Republican Senator Mike Lee from offering the amendment to defund PP.

And now the pseudo-conservative/pro-life McConnell is sending up this sham legislation which of course will be filibustered by Senate Democrats and resoundingly defeated because he won’t get the 60 votes he needs to pass it. Then he and the Republican Senators can stand boldly before the party faithful and say they tried to defund PP, but those abortion-loving Democrats filibustered the bill and kept it from happening.

McConnell and Senate Republican can get away with this con because they know “conservative” voices on Fox News such as Charles Krauthammer and George Will and “pro-life” voices on talk radio like Bill Bennett and Jay Sekulow will downplay or ignore McConnell’s trick with the Highway Bill and blame the filibuster for defeating Republican efforts to de-fund PP.

So now there’s a group of 18 House Republicans issuing idle threats to hold up any spending bill to fund the federal government that does not contain language to de-fund PP. This ploy, too is outright laughable.

“We must act to fully defund Planned Parenthood. Please know that we cannot and will not support any funding resolution — an appropriations bill, an omnibus package, a continuing resolution, or otherwise — that contains any funding for Planned Parenthood, including mandatory funding streams,” wrote the 18 Republicans in a letter to House leaders

As he has done before, House Speaker John “Tammy Faye” Boehner will seek out the necessary Democrat support to pass any future spending bills.

And when that happens, the gang of 18 will collectively sigh, “We tried!” to Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, et al. Then Levin will go back to hawking his book, while Hannity summarily ring his hands, and Michael Savage belly aches about the excessive grease in the stir fry at Two Wong’s Don’t Make-A-White.

Eighteen I get confused every day

Eighteen I just don’t know what to say

Eighteen I gotta get away

Do you ever wonder whether or not the smoke McConnell is trying to blow up you ass is carcinogenic?

BEN CARSON IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL

Ben Carson Is not Presidential Material

By Jerry A. Kane

Potential 2016 presidential candidate Ben Carson apologized Wednesday for saying homosexuality was a lifestyle choice.

Wednesday morning on CNN’s “New Day” show with Chris Cuomo, Ben Carson said:

“A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they’re gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question.”

Wednesday afternoon in a post on his Facebook page Ben Carson wrote:

“I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended.”

Later Wednesday afternoon Ben Carson appeared on Sean Hannity’s radio show and said:

“I simply have decided I’m not going to really talk about that issue anymore, because every time I gain momentum, the liberal press says, ‘let’s talk about gay rights.’ I’m just not going to fall for that anymore.”

During a January 22, 2015, interview with YouTube personality GloZell Green, Hussein (peace be upon him) said:

“I think people know that treating folks unfairly, even if you disagree with their lifestyle choice… Let them live their lives and under the law they should be treated equally”

So both Hussein and Carson violated the gaystapo’s edict that all Americans must believe there’s no choice in sexual orientation. Both black men said that homosexuality is a “lifestyle choice,” yet Carson felt compelled to apologize for violating the gaystapo’s diktat, while Hussein remains unapologetic to this day.

The homofascists have had their way with Carson and have completely discredited him. His anti-2nd amendment stance on gun control took the wind out of his sails, and now this latest mea culpa to the gaystapo leaves him dead in the water. It’s obvious that Carson lacks the backbone to respond with moral conviction and courage against those who promote such a disease ridden, dysfunctional lifestyle.

Clearly, Carson is not presidential material; and were he white, the political pundits would not be talking about him or be paying him any mind.

To quote Homer Simpson, “Let’s file this under R, for arrivederci.”

VATICAN PRAISES LIBERATION THEOLOGY FOUNDER

The founder of liberation theology, the Rev. Gustavo Gutierrez of Peru, received a hero’s welcome at the Vatican as Pope Francis continues his rehabilitation campaign to restore the once-criticized movement to prominence.

Liberation Theology is based on Marxist doctrine that interprets Scripture through the plight of the poor. In the 1950s when Marxism was making strides among the poor in South America, Gutierrez taught the gospel of wealth redistribution and social justice in Catholic communities.

In the 1980s Pope John Paul II and the Catholic hierarchy criticized Liberation Theology as a false, humanist doctrine dressed up in theological terms, and they chided the bishops and priests who proselytized it for misinterpreting Jesus’ preference for the poor as a Marxist call for armed rebellion.

Unlike Pope Benedict XVI, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who spent much of his tenure at Mueller’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith battling liberation theology and disciplining some of its most famous defenders, the view toward Liberation Theology has changed now with the election of a Jesuit pope.

Pope Francis embraces the theology of Gutierrez and his backers as being perfectly in line with the church’s social teaching about the poor. And for 20 years, Barack Obama was a member of a church headed by his mentor the Reverend Jeremiah Wright who preached and taught Black Liberation Theology, which is the same Marxist, revolutionary, humanistic philosophy found in Gutierrez’s Liberation Theology.

Obama and Francis are scheduled to meet next month. Knowing that both share a Liberation Theology background, it’s a safe bet that social justice and global wealth redistribution will be a focal point of the discussion.

MEDIA MANIPULATION PARTS 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5

America’s media distort critical facts, omit vital information, and work to promote the progressive elites’ socialist agenda. They are no longer the Constitution’s watchdog protecting the democratic process, but are vicious attack dogs commanded by the ruling elite. And it’s not just the mainstream alphabet networks that are controlled, it’s Fox News and talk radio, also.

Skilled in the art of deceit and masters of propaganda, the media are cast as protectors and keepers of truth. They are a privileged priesthood with the ability to psychologically manipulate the masses through their message and the power to slander their enemies with impunity.

In 1976 historian and researcher Antony Sutton warned, “To eliminate freedom, one must first eliminate widespread knowledge of the truth.” For Americans to stay free, they must be aware, stay awake, and seek truth; then embrace it, protect it, and defend it wherever it’s found.

[Media manipulation] “has to be conscious, or it would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it also has to be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and hence of guilt…. To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – all this is indispensably necessary.”—George Orwell

Media Manipulation Part 1 Trayvon Martin, Clarence Thomas, and Rodney King

The mainstream media refuse to report the facts. They are a Democrat Party organ that promotes propaganda. When the media push a particular narrative over and over again, they can change the minds of up to twenty percent of the people.

The Trayvon Martin shooting, the Clarence Thomas hearings, and the Rodney King beatdown prove the media’s power to shackle black minds to a herd mentality and a leftist view of the world.

MEDIA MANIPULATION PART 2 Black-on-White Crime and Talk Radio, Obama Tape and Rashid Khalidi

There have been far too many unprovoked attacks by blacks on whites happening in America; and the nation’s top radio talk show hosts refuse to tell their listeners about them because talk radio is a controlled medium, and its hosts are constrained from discussing certain issues by the syndicates they work for.

So the truth of black-on-white assaults and murders doesn’t get out because the major media and syndicated talk radio either downplays it or ignores it.

MEDIA MANIPULATION PART 3 Obama’s Ties to Khalidi and LA Times Suppresses Khalidi Tape

The Los Angeles Times refuses to release a videotape of Rashid Khalidi’s 2003 farewell party in Chicago where Illinois state senator Barack Obama praised Khalidi, the former adviser to PLO terrorist leader Yasser Arafat.

Khalidi was leaving the University of Chicago to head Columbia University’s Middle East-studies program and “assume the professorship endowed in honor of Edward Sayyid.”

In April 2008, Times reporter Peter Wallsten did a puff piece on the party but failed to mention that Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Ayers’s wife and fellow Weatherman terrorist, were in attendance.

In 2008, Obama said he didn’t know Ayers very well or his political views, even though he and Ayers were on the Woods Fund board that dished out a $75,000 grant to Khalidi’s Arab American Action Network (AAAN).

AAAN, which sponsored the farewell party, doesn’t recognize Israel’s right to exist and justifies Palestinian terrorism.

Wallsten also failed to mention that Ayers and Khalidi were “best friends” and that the Obamas were extremely close to the Khalidis, who babysat Obama’s kids.

MEDIA MANIPULATION PART 4 Genocide Against White South Africans

WARNING! The video contained in this clip is graphic.

Brutal violence directed at white South Africans, especially farmers, or Boers, has been increasing since 1994. Thousands of South African whites, who make up less than 10 percent of the population, have been barbarously slaughtered, including babies.

The brutal murders of Boers and other whites are being carried out by fringe communist groups who want to drive white people from South Africa, nationalize farms and mines, and implement a totalitarian state ruled similar to the Marxist dictatorship of neighboring Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe’s Marxist dictator, Robert Mugabe, tortured, murdered, and evicted white farmers; he then seized their land and redistributed it to his supporters who knew nothing about farming.

Once known as “the breadbasket of Africa,” Zimbabwe is now a nation plagued by mass-starvation and dependent on international food aid.

The South Africa-based group “Blaq Soul Afrika,” which is affiliated with the New Black Panther Party in the United States, said, “We are not fighiting [sic] a faceless oppressor, the oppressor is not just a system of white supremacy, the oppressor is the white race … We ought to wipe out the white face, ending our suffering as a people! Black power!”

Residents in many areas have taken up singing the traditional “struggle songs,” which are not just about liberating blacks, but contain lyrics such as “kill the Boer, kill the farmer,” “bring me my machine gun” and other genocidal themes.

According to Dr. Gregory Stanton, head of Genocide Watch, the forces stirring up the racial hatred and unrest want to impose communist tyranny on South Africa.

MEDIA MANIPULATION PART 5 Limbaugh and Hannity Won‘t Back Up Fired Talk Show Hosts

Neither Rush Limbaugh nor Sean Hannity would defend Michael Graham or Fred Grandy when ABC Radio affiliate WMAL capitulated to the demands of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group with connections to Islamic terrorist organizations, and dumped the talk hosts for linking Islam and terrorism.

Graham was fired for characterizing Islam as a terrorist organization by drawing an analogy between the “religion of peace” and the Boy Scouts.

“If the Boy Scouts of America had 1,000 scout troops, and 10 of them practiced suicide bombings, then the BSA would be considered a terrorist organization. If the BSA refused to kick out those 10 troops, that would make the case even stronger. If people defending terror repeatedly turned to the Boy Scout handbook and found language that justified and defended murder – and the scoutmasters in charge simply said ‘Could be’ – the Boy Scouts would have been driven out of America long ago,” Graham said.

WMAL forced Grandy to resign for refusing to nix a Friday segment of his show that featured his wife, Catherine Mann, aka Mrs. Fred, and reports from experts in law enforcement and Middle Eastern politics about radical Islam in the US.

During the segment, the Grandys also pointed out that CAIR had been designated as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 federal Holy Land Foundation terror finance trial, and that people connected to Muslim Brotherhood front groups hold positions of authority in the Obama administration.

Both Limbaugh’s and Hannity’s show was being broadcast at the time by the ABC affiliate, but neither host would remove his muzzle to breach the subject.

As Graham and Grandy twisted in the wind, only crickets from the nation’s two top conservative commentators on talk radio.

JOHN MCCAIN WAS A POW, NOT A WAR HERO PARTS 1, 2, & 3

US Senator John McCain (R-AZ) is in the wrong party. He’s not a conservative, or a libertarian, or anything in the middle. He doesn’t fight for truth, justice, or the American way. And what’s more, he isn’t a hero either.

As a POW, McCain was given special treatment and tended by Soviet surgeons at a hospital reserved for the North Vietnamese military, which was a far cry from the way other American POWs were treated.

Even worse, many POWs who were with him at the Hanoi Hilton said he sang like a canary.

No American POW crumbled with such ease or zeal as McCain in collaborating with the enemy and making dozens of propaganda tapes for the North Vietnamese.

Yet most Americans view McCain as a hero because the major media have refused to report the truth about his sordid military service.

TELL LEVIN AND HANNITY TO BACK ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT SENATE CANDIDATES

Tell Levin and Hannity to Back anti-Establishment Senate Candidates

By Jerry A. Kane

If Mark Levin and Sean Hannity weren’t establishment tools, they’d be working tirelessly to promote the anti-establishment senate candidates in the upcoming GOP primaries, but they’re not.

Look, I’m not talking about a casual mention of a particular senate race here and there, or an occasional rant against one of the establishment’s candidates. I’m talking about interviewing these largely unknown candidates and dropping their names with increased frequency as each primary approaches. Name recognition is paramount for these unknown candidates to have a fighting chance against the better-known establishment incumbents and their well-financed campaigns.

If Levin and Hannity had an ounce of integrity and the courage of their professed convictions, they would be repentant for their wholehearted endorsement of Orin Hatch, a card-carrying member of the permanent political class and more RINO (Republican in name only) than Bob Bennett, who lost Utah’s 2010 primary to Mike Lee.

To jog your memory, Hatch was headed for defeat in 2012, but Mark Levin and Sean Hannity intervened to save his bacon. They endorsed Hatch, interviewed and promoted him on their shows as a stalwart conservative; then they relentlessly attacked Dan Liljenquist, Hatch’s challenger, who in truth was an actual conservative tough on fiscal issues, illegal immigration, and the GOP establishment.

Levin was the more ruthless of the two. He mercilessly attacked Liljenquist backer Freedom Works and its head Dick Armey for prompting a radical, open-borders, pro-amnesty position, and viciously smeared Liljenquist even though Hatch had been a supporter of amnesty and had sponsored the open-borders DREAM Act.

Levin endorsed Hatch without reservation knowing Hatch had been in DC since 1976; had promoted SCHIP (Obamacare for Children), TARP, the Law of the Sea Treaty, and Medicare Part D; and had voted to confirm leftists Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Eric Holder, and Cass Sunstein.

“I endorsed Orrin Hatch a year ago and will continue to do so,” proclaimed Levin on Facebook.

Hatch’s voting record called into question whether he would uphold the Constitution and defend liberty and freedom, but Levin was undeterred. He doubled down his support for the big-spending, Beltway-entrenched incumbents’ mascot who routinely crossed the aisle to promote and pass the Democrats’ destructive agenda.

Hatch reflected the antithesis of the spirit behind the Tea Party movement. Following his vote in support of Eric Holder as Attorney General, he said, “I like Barack Obama and I want to help him if I can.” Hatch was actually part of the overall problem. He epitomized everything Levin said he opposed on his radio talk show; yet, Levin gave Hatch his unwavering support.

Levin has a reputation for being a constitutional scholar and a solid Reagan conservative and his endorsement of the six-term senator with a big-government voting record and nearly four decades of costly progressive partnerships carried a lot of clout with the tea party faithful and the conservative grassroots. His endorsement helped Hatch gain credibility and trust among Utah Republicans in one of the nation’s reddest states.

Hatch, of course, went on to win the primary and was reelected. About eight months later during his radio talk show, Mark Levin read the names of the 14 GOP Senators who voted for amnesty; and of course, sticking out like a sore thumb was the name Orin Hatch. Levin made a half-hearted attempt at an apology for backing Hatch, saying, “I could never endorse him again.” The horse is gone, so what’s the point in locking the gate now, Mark?

Primaries are where the fight for the soul of the GOP take place. Primaries are where the GOP’s RINO establishment should be ousted. Primaries are where the grass roots lets the party know that they’re mad as hell and not gonna to take it anymore.

Unfortunately Mark Levin’s and Sean Hannity’s endorsements wield enormous credibility among the tea party faithful and conservative Republicans, but too often they put their shows’ ratings and personal interests ahead of their professed beliefs. The truth is what they say and do adheres more to management, advertising, and FCC guidelines than it does to principles of liberty and freedom. That’s the true nature of the beast, and it’s naive to think otherwise.

Looking to talk radio for heroes and champions is like looking for love in all the wrong places. People who do it are setting themselves up for a major letdown.

But don’t take my word for it; use the available social media and ask the dynamic duo if they’ll go all out to help these anti-establishment senate candidates get the name recognition and raise the money to rid the GOP of its RINOs.

Those with the convictions to take me up on my challenge should prepare for disappointment when the bloom falls off the rose.

NRA ENDORSES DEMOCRATS OVER REPUBLICANS IN CENTER-RIGHT DISTRICTS

NRA Supports Dems’ Bid to Keep Congress

By Jerry A. Kane

The headline is not a transposed “R” in place of an “E.” Yes, it’s the National Rifle Association and not the National Education Association that is supporting Democrat candidates to keep Republicans from retaking the House. The NRA has endorsed 39 House Democrat candidates even though their Republican challengers champion the Second Amendment. To add insult to injury, the organization is endorsing them in center-right House districts that Republicans could win. The NRA endorsement gives the so-called “Blue Dog” Democrats credibility that they wouldn’t have otherwise.

“[A]s long as the conservative rhetoric is coming from the Democrat candidates themselves, the voters aren’t buying it.  However, when the NRA … endorses that Democrat for reelection over their 2nd amendment champion Republican opponents … [it] give[s] credence to their claims of being born again conservatives.  The sad thing is that the NRA is endorsing Democrats in the very districts that we must win in order to obtain 39 seats.”—Daniel Horowitz 

Right-to-life groups have three criteria candidates must meet to get their endorsement, Americans for Tax for Reform have candidates sign a pledge, but the NRA doesn’t require candidates to meet certain criteria or a sign pledge to uphold the Second Amendment for its endorsement; it’s a purely subjective judgment call.  

For example, in last year’s special election for New York’s 23rd Congressional District, the NRA supported leftist Republican Dede Scozzafava over Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman. Scozzafava eventually dropped from the race and endorsed Democrat Bill Owens over Hoffman. Now, the NRA endorses Owens over Republican Matt Doheny in November. 

Even though the NRA supports Republicans and has given 71 percent of its political action committee’s contributions to GOP candidates, that percentage is down compared to previous election cycles. The Democrat Party is the problem plaguing America and ignoring that problem is a fatal mistake. 

A lot of so-called conservatives avoid discussing how the NRA is undermining the conservative movement and Republican efforts to oust George Soros’ Shadow Party Democrats from power. “Great Americans” Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, et al either won’t mention the NRA’s undermining activities or they dance around them when they’re pointed out and never openly criticize the organization.  

Major on-line conservative gatekeeper publications aren’t much better. They have been treading lightly over the NRA’s underhanded endorsements of Democrats, as if they’re trying their level best to remain in the good graces of the organization.  

The NRA hides behind the one-issue, gun-rights only claim, and endorses Democrats to ensure participation in future elections. The organization didn’t oppose Eric Holder for attorney general and waited until the last minute to come out against Obama’s leftist Supreme Court nominees. It signed on to the Disclose Act, which was a carefully crafted Democrat scheme to impose onerous disclosure requirements on over 100,000 nonprofits and activist groups to prevent them from engaging in any effective political speech during campaign season. Such tactics are a fool’s game for those who feed the crocodile believing they will be the last to be eaten. 

Face it; this hypocritical “arrogant and elitist” organization has more in common with Chuck Schumer than it does with Chuck Heston. Much like the leftist, race-baiting poverty pimps Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who fuel the race issue for relevance and money, the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre and chief lobbyist Chris Cox don’t seem too anxious for the gun control issue to go away. They appear to be more concerned with preserving their six-figure salaries than with upholding the Second Amendment and defeating the one party that unambiguously has been behind all gun control legislation.  

“There are few organizations purportedly on the side of freedom that aggravate me more than the National Rifle Association. In fact, these days I cringe when I see good conservatives with their lifetime member sticker from the NRA on the back of their cars.”—Eric Erickson 

From the late 1960s through the late 1980s, the NRA zealously fought gun control advocates in the United States when Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand buckled under and lost the individual’s right to firearm ownership and self-defense. But today’s NRA is merely a shell of what it once was, living off its past reputation. This once mighty 4 million-member, $307 million organization is no longer indispensable because it doesn’t understand what the fight is about. It has become a tool used by the Democrat Party to destroy this Republic and its Constitution. Its leaders are now too timid to uphold freedom and all too willing to sit at the table with the leftist elites in Washington, DC.  

The political climate and the Democrat Party have irrevocably changed; conservative and moderate democrats are an extinct species. When Pelosi or Reid need votes, the so-called Blue Dog Democrats will line up and vote against Second Amendment protections as ordered.  

The loss of liberty is looming, and America stands in the path of danger. Freedom shivers in the cold shadow of true peril as the irresistible siren summons the common man to muster resistance against politicians everywhere who would subvert those freedoms.  

“So, as we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those fighting words for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed, and especially for you, [Messrs. Cox and LaPierre]: ‘From my cold, dead hands!'”—Charlton Heston
