Those who are familiar with this site will recall that the National Rifle Association (NRA) has been on the Seeing Red AZ blogroll since the inception of this website in June 2007. Take a good hard look, because the link will soon be coming down. Yesterday we posted the endorsements U.S. Senate candidate J. D. Hayworth received from former NRA President Bob Corbin and from the Gun Owners of America. Yet the NRA, which has previously referred to John McCain as “one of the premier flag carriers for the enemies of the second amendment,” inexplicably gave McCain their endorsement. In endorsing Hayworth, the Gun Owners of America (GOA) said: “John McCain has gone out of his way to earn the ire of conservatives and gun owners in his 20-plus years as a U.S. Senator from Arizona.” Watch this GOA ad exposing John McCain’s efforts to constrain our First and Second Amendment Rights. Then read what GOA’s Political Victory Fund says about McCain here. This indefensible approval is akin to the shameful endorsement of McCain by Arizona Right to Life (AZRTL) which resulted in members of the board and PAC leaving the organization and calling the endorsement of McCain an “egregious affront.” AZRTL acknowledged that J.D. Hayworth “had a perfect pro-life voting record during his service in the U.S. House of Representatives,“ but it was evident McCain’s financial support via buying tables at events meant more. ARTL said the determining factors in their endorsement decision were “incumbency and electability,“ both political considerations — neither of which incorporate the fundamental principle of protection of the unborn. And the equally hypocritical NRA? Here is their July 20, 2001 First Freedom magazine cover story and accompanying article titled, What’s Happened to John McCain? The tag-line accompanying the damning photo of him with Democrats Chuck Schumer and Joe Lieberman accuses John McCain of “jeopardizing the freedom of law-abiding gun owners.”

The NRA has been infiltrated. I quit the NRA when Heston endorsed Prop 10 (TAX TOBACCO) in CA and sided with Rob Reiner, the ultra-liberal. Heston was an actor. He ACTED conservative, but was a flaming liberal AFAIWC. Since then, I've received two letters from the NRA, with the EXACT SAME WORDING, from TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE from the NRA trying to spin Heston's choice, and beg for my money back. Burn in hell Heston, and fuck off NRA.
Since you are so anti-tax, why do you use the internet? It was developed with tax dollars...
More Alinsky shit. Discussion over. See you on the battlefield. Or afterword.
Assuming that's not some sort of illiterate pun...for tea?

Exactly as I meant it. You'll never be on a battlefield. All you ever do is talk. Afterword. Exactly as I meant it.
