NEA Vice President: NRA, Second Amendment Supporters "Are Going to Hell"
NRA-ILA ^ | June 28, 2013 | NA

Posted on 07/12/2013 4:41:15 PM PDT by neverdem

Speaking to all 3,000 of the assembled "progressive activists" at this year's Netroots Nation conference, National Education Association vice president Lily Eskelsen Garcia boldly declared a "prophecy" about the eternal destiny of NRA and Second Amendment supporters, and of politicians and lobbyists working to promote gun rights: "I'm not an ordained minister; I'm not a theologian, but these guys are going to hell."

Wow. Going to hell for supporting the Second Amendment? That type of radical thinking might explain the very high incidence of ridiculous cases involving over-zealous school officials misinterpreting and wrongly enforcing "zero-tolerance" rules--and doing so without exercising even the smallest measure of sound judgment, discretion or basic common sense.

According to a Mercury News article, the high-ranking NEA officer went on to say, "We have to make those senators as frightened of us as they are of the gun lobby. Shame on us if we give one inch to the gun lobby. They got where they are because they never give up. ... Now the movement is us; we are the ones we were waiting for."

As we note on a near-weekly basis, all of us agree that we want our children to be safe at school, and that reasonable safety measures should be followed. But, when pressed, gun-control proponents and even President Obama's own administration will admit that the restrictions they are pushing won't make schools and students any safer.

Do they really think that criminals and madmen will now suddenly and willingly comply with "universal" background checks and modern sporting rifle bans, or that a magazine capacity limit would have stopped Adam Lanza? No, they don't. No "educated" person could.

I love the sound of barking moonbats claiming to be mainstream! They're out of the closet again.

"Hell" is the name of the "detention facility" Ubama has lined up for the Tea Party.

supporters of the Second Amendment made it possible for this d-less wonder to make a fool of himself in public

who will defend this clueless wonder, people like him have no aptitude for it

and then it starts all over again, with empty heads trashing those who paid the price

Separation of church and state violation. The union is making religious claims and should no longer be associated with public education!

If The NEA, WBC, and all these other liberals who gave us Detriot, Chicago, etc. are going to heaven, hell suddenly seems like a nice place.

Once again a so-called educator proving he/she/it does not know what she/he/it is talking about. The NEA is a joke.

Why most atheists believe in Hell but not God is beyond me.
They should find a good church and learn a few things.
