Certain television celebrities who posed as conservatives What does that have to do with this?.... retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf. The gulf-war hero disclosed to NEWSWEEK last week that he had quit the NRA a few years ago. They are "very inflexible and almost radical," he said. "They appeal to a fringe element of gun owners."

I was referring to other television celebrities who were also politicians. I refuse to name names, because those anti-defense, socialist, globalist social lefties developed quite a pushy, insulting following of false conservatives on discussion boards before they predictably lost in primaries in the past few elections. Some of them have also voted in the past in favor of some gun control bills. Water under the bridge anyway.

I’m skeptical of both political parties. In my area, political folks are all radical environmentalists, animal worshipers, radical regulators, social libertines, gluttonous gobblers of debt, etc. Just waiting for them to run out of officious robbery schemes and debt.

As for the NRA and some of the state organizations for the Second Amendment, I’m all in favor of those. Such organizations are needed especially during this difficult period, where many more government-linked, upper-middle class folks will be laid off or otherwise bankrupt, foreclosed and senselessly attack neighbors they haven’t even been well acquainted with (seen in my remote, very sparsely populated area several times already). Disarming the more moral Americans is not the answer, of course, which is what gun control maniacs are trying to do.

As for the General, I respected him very much.

He was older than me. Things and perspectives were different back then. Until about ‘68, we didn’t even imagine some of the problems that caused some of today’s greater problems and tomorrow’s likely disasters (unthinkable for many).
