While theologians debate the existence of a personal
devil (I side with the believers) the National Rifle Association has
hand-picked its own next Great Satan.
Probably to no one’s surprise it is Hillary Clinton, the
Democratic Party’s current/possibly/likely contender for the 2016 presidential
election. Along with being one mighty fine email delete expert.
And
now add the nation’s top gun anti-gunner, says the NRA.
At its just concluded annual members meeting in
Nashville, the NRA drew a bead on Mrs. Clinton’s long-standing
pro-gun-control/anti-Second Amendment stance.
In speaking on behalf of the four-million-plus NRA
members, the group’s executive vice-president Wayne LaPierre is quoted in the right-leaning
Washington Times as saying:
“Is the Obama-Clinton
foreign policy that has led to the surrender of ground gained by our brave men
and women in the military, that has led to the collapse of morale among the
[military] ranks and has reached the point where they refused to even
acknowledge who our enemies are or how victory can be defined — is that legacy
of failure really the best America can do?” Mr. LaPierre
said Friday, eliciting cries of “No!” from the crowd. “The Obama-Clinton
policies demean our U.S. military and represent the very worst of leadership.”
As far as Clinton goes, LaPierre didn’t mince and words.
As quoted by the liberal MSNBC News, LaPierre said:
“I vow on this day the NRA will stand shoulder to shoulder
with you and good, honest decent Americans and we will stand and fight with
everything we’ve got and in 2016, by God, we will elect the next great
president of the United States of America and it will not be Hillary Rodham
Clinton!” LaPierre told a roaring crowd.
“Do we really want to put the country through another Clinton term of scandal and deceit and self-serving behavior?” asked LaPierre on Friday.
“She will not bring a dawn of new promise and opportunity,” LaPierre continued. “Hillary Rodham Clinton will bring a permanent darkness of deceit and despair, forced upon the American people to endure.”
Elsewhere, LaPierre continued his opposition to a possible Hillary Clinton presidency when he is quoted by the “Guns America News and Reviews” online newsletter as saying:
“Do we really want to put the country through another Clinton term of scandal and deceit and self-serving behavior?” asked LaPierre on Friday.
“She will not bring a dawn of new promise and opportunity,” LaPierre continued. “Hillary Rodham Clinton will bring a permanent darkness of deceit and despair, forced upon the American people to endure.”
