"Your Chance To Hear From America's Top Leaders And Political Candidates!"

So claims the website for this Friday's NRA convention in St. Louis.

http://www.nraam.org/events/nra%27s-celebration-of-amerian-values-leadership-forum.aspx

Right. Now, check out their lineup of speakers and tell us again how the NRA is a nonpartisan organization. Tell us again how an Obama victory in 2012 will spell the DEMISE of our 2A rights. Hell, we believed your dire predictions in 2008 and we bought up every box of ammo on the shelves. Just say the word and we'll do it all over again!

'cause if paragons of American Values like Ollie North, John Bolton and Ken Blackwell are issuing the orders, what are our options but to obey?

(like supporting Strickland over John forgot his name) but on POTUS, they are full bore fucking looney tunes.
Let's see, the party platform dropped the gun issue
Pelosi told Holder to STFU on an new AWB

I won't be going to St Louis, not being a member they won't let me in.

I always thought North and Bolton were closer to Saudi Arabia's and North Korea's values (theocrats and militarists demanding rigid conformity) than anything resembling American.

if you are going to Chuckee Cheese, I figure the kids could mistake you for the Lone Ranger and ask for your autograph. Let me guess, the kids drag you there every chance they get?

marksmanship and gun safety.
Looks like a list of the most right-wing people in America. At least they could have included Zell Miller, for balance.

Where are those "A" rated Dems everyone in the gun room love to boast about?
