Backfire? Just a lot. The whole world is looking at the NRA and thinking that they are completely looney tunes, folks. What an embarrassment to you Americans. I have not said anything controversial. Just read the world media to see how they are being laughed at by everyone.
Ima: Just read this. You probably won’t appreciate why it is so funny. http://www.ibtimes.com/three-accidents-gun-shows-nationwide-gun-appreciation-day-1026906-Don’t get me wrong, everyone likes a laugh. The NRA are priceless.
Funny thing about my link is that no one did the shooting. They were all “accidents”.Sort of like NRA ad with the “accidental” references to your President’s daughters, even though the NRA explicitly said that it doesn’t.
@ Mighty Mouse and Ghostkeeper.“….. if America stopped making the rest of the world HATE it, LAUGH at it, consider it the Donald Trump, Wayne LaPierre and Rush Limbaugh of the world! America—the Town Drunk, the Global Village Idiot!…..”.Unfortunately there is truth to that statement. The inmates haven’t quite taken over the institution (although they are trying), but the inmates are making it very difficult for the majority sane and sensible to govern.
“America—the Town Drunk, the Global Village Idiot! Worse, it actually thinks it should be respected!”
It’s amazing how these people hate us, laugh at us, ridicule us, right up to the point that they need our armed forces to protect them or our money to rescue them from their own stupid mistakes. Ghost, it sounds like you are very unhappy here, you should move. Soon.
Obama has:1. Extended the expired Bush tax cuts.2. Extended and expanded the Patriot Act.3. Continued and expanded the Afghan war.4. Kept open GW’s favorite prison Gitmo.5. Created another massive government entitlement that isn’t paid for.6. Continued the cronyism, worsened the partisan environment, run an opaque administration and campaigned constantly. All these things he identified as what was wrong with Washington and he would “change.”
Maybe now you can see why “others” in the political system not living in the K Street feeding trough look at Obama as George Bush lite.
Mr. Mouse, I read the link and others from the very liberal New York based IB Times. The following quote regards the assessed value of John Kerry’s and Chuck Hagel’s military experience in Viet Nam.
“That could be a positive thing — maybe it will be — as Obama confronts a simmering Middle East, a metastasizing al-Qaeda, an unsettled Af-Pak, a confrontational China and Russia, and a terror-sponsoring, nuclear-pursuing Iran that seeks regional hegemony and a stronger presence in Latin America.”
“The tide of war is receding,” Obama likes to say.
Sounds a bit contradictory to me, but you probably have the New York Times as one of your journalism bibles. I am thankful that you at least took Mighty Mouse as your avatar. Obviously you’re not Irish and fortunately didn’t defame the name Mickey…
“And now, since it’s Sunday morning, all the little old ladies in tennis shoes, of both genders, and the rest of the nitwits and twits, can go off to the barn and listen to their Jackass-in-the-pulpit bray at them, and enjoy getting their ears tickled. After all, they’re guaranteed that right in the Constitution too!”
I don’t want to unduly accuse you of anything rash, but you do sound like a Libertarian. Or maybe you’re just totally disgusted with the state of affairs in Washington and are politically disenfranchised. Whatever, it’s an entertaining post.
So now you’re the grammar police too? Obviously you can’t rebut what was said, so you nit-pick a fast fat-fingered typist? Reread some of the radical right posts first.
The son of the NRA president is in prison for using a gun in a “road rage” incident, yup, that “education program” the leadership touts must be really good on “safety”.
Presidents’ children have historically been “off limits” to media. I was disappointed with media when they showed the Bush daughters being silly in the back of a car. Seems the NRA decided that incident gave them license to take it up a notch. A President’s child/grandchild is an international target, not just to a mentally ill person, but to kidnappers, terrorists, or in this case, a lobbying group with a grudge.Each time this happens, it seems like it makes way for the next time. I hope future groups hoping to make points on the back of an elected official’s child will think thrice before doing so.Respectfully,C.
Responding to the grammar comments in the post. And spelling IS part of grammar, since you have to spell and understand word meaning to put them in the proper place to make a cogent point. And since others had responded well, I did not see the point of repeating what was said, As to bashing on the Bush twins, the bashing of POTUS kids started with Limbaugh and Chelsea Clinton, although I seem to remember a late 1800s campaign where a candidate was accused of fathering an illegitimate child, so the opposition flooded his rallies with kids hollering “Are you my Daddy?” But that wasn’t a reflection on the child.
No this is the one when they were criticizing him for his DAUGHTERS, a move never done to any elected official before. The presidents family, as a rule of thumb, is strictly off limits to anti law psa s

You’re welcome. I’m talking about the NRA. Same thing last week with Pierre’s speech. They’re a bunch of clowns. With gun lust.

NRA: those 3 accidents wouldn’t have happened if we let kids carry at an early age so they know how to handle firearms.

One of my favorite authors, Elizabeth Moon, had much to say that was sensible on this matter here.
