The National Rifle Association kicked off its annual convention Friday with a warning from its incoming president that its members are engaged in a "culture war" that stretches beyond gun rights, further ramping up emotions surrounding the gun control debate.

NRA First Vice President James Porter, who will take over the top job Monday, issued a full-throated challenge in the opening hours to President Barack Obama after the NRA's major victory on gun control and a call to dig in for a long fight that will stretch into the 2014 elections...

There is an article on media matters making the rounds with the leftists attacking the new NRA president. They aren’t giving up by a long shot.

He's right. East Coast people, even "conservatives" like David Frum, Jennifer Rubin, and the Bush Family (most of them), are not tolerant of American values.

They despise the America of Norman Rockwell and Mayberry. No, that's not strong enough -- they hate it.

Just ask Commentary (Jan, 2010, keyword "Sarah Palin").

That’s a bit encouraging. Maybe they’ll be a bit more discerning with their ratings from now on.

Since the 1950s, the organized radical left has launched an all-out war on America from within, using the principles set down my Lenin and Alinsky.

First, they came for our economic freedoms. They buried us in regulation so suffocating, children who once set up lemonade stands to learn the basic principles of supply and demand, could become felons without correct zoning permits.

Then they came for our social freedoms. Under the guise of giving liberty to engineered minorities, they forced perverted, anti-family agendas onto our schools and private businesses, enforcing political correctness with ruthless efficiency, and labeling Christians as enemies of the state.

Now, they seek to remove the third and final block at the base of the Jenga tower. Our BASIC freedoms! We are guaranteed the right to bear arms under the constitution, and through shamelessly exploiting the tragedies caused by their own, deliberate inability to segregate the criminally insane from the general public, the left seeks to disarm the American people, all for CONTROL.

If there was ever a time to beat these treacherous reds back, it is now.

Yup, it’s a war between righteousness and lawless, godlessness.

They moved? I thought they lived in Cut and Shoot, Texas.

I knew they were in Gun Barrel City, but last I heard, they hailed from Shotgun, Arizona. Folks sure do get around these days :-)

(I actually lived next door to Gun Barrel City some years back)
