Truth

Interesting perspective...

I came across this quote the other day and while I do not want to minimize anyone's feelings...especially when they are in the moment and allowing their inner most thoughts and fears to show outwardly, I thought it was an interesting perspective and wanted to share:

"Beaware of men who cry. It's true that men who cry are sensitive to and in touch with feelings, but the only feelings they tend to be sensitive to and in touch with are their own."

NRA = Not Responsible for Anything

Wayne LePierre, head lobbyist of the NRA, just completed a press conference in response to the Newton, CT elementary school massacre.

LePierre blamed everyone for gun violence...president Obama, Hollywood, video games, corporate media, unarmed school administrators and teachers etc...everyone EXCEPT the gun lobby which has worked tirelessly for decades using fear mongering to deregulate guns and ammo for the sole purpose of driving gun sales and profits.

LePierre also suggested that the only thing that will stop a bad guys with guns is a good guy with guns. He went on to offer the NRA response plan which included beefed up security (armed officers) at our schools. In other words, the only thing to protect us from guns is more people with guns.

Really? Can't wait to hear about the NRA anti-drug campaign where everyone gets more drugs or their anti-rape campaign where everyone gets more rape (not to worry about pregnancy though because the "female body would just shut that whole thing down")

LePierre is a liar, a coward, a thug and appears to be living in some sort of militarized cloud cuckoo land where TSA style security is available at all schools. I have heard other gun enthusiasts suggest the creation of a national database to track and monitor the mentally ill and unstable.

You read that right...the "don't tread on me, keep government hands off our guns and out of our lives" offers the largest government expansion since the creation of the department of homeland security.

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. The NRA should now be classified as the largest anti-freedom domestic terror organization in the US. Their rational members should flee now and start something new.
