The American left has many distorted views of the world. Their panting salivating joy over the now seemingly endless list of companies that have withdrawn discounts from NRA members is just the latest example of its social maladjustment.
The left’s everyday lives serve as a reminder that merely living in America and even being born in America doesn’t make one truly an American. They might live in America, but they are not Americans.
They don’t understand the laws and customs we Americans follow nor do they want to; ignorance of, and separation from, American culture has become point of pride to these people. They see themselves as citizens of the “world” as some have actually said.
This is what makes these corporate discount withdrawals so foolish. They have no up side for the companies but plenty of down side. So why do they do these things?
Why would they follow an 18 year old who is the media anointed leader of the Democrats, a party which is largely out of step with America already?
Let that sink in: The Democrat party is now being led by an 18 year- old child who is so drunk with power he has threatened The NRA, FEDEX and UPS. He has called for a boycott of Florida by Spring breakers and actually said “I will not allow Governor Scott to remove Sheriff Israel.”
This brings us back to the discount discontinuations.
Does anybody even know anybody who joined NRA for the discounts? Of course not. I’ve been a life member for at least ten years and never once thought about accessing a discount from any of the cowardly companies that have joined the attacks on the NRA.
I’m sure I’m not alone in this position. That the left sees the NRA as a shopping club while we know it is a civil rights organization is a clear example of the difference between us and them.
The left doesn’t live in the world we NRA members and supporters live in. They have no idea how we live. They have never travel through rural America and spoken to the people who elected Donald Trump.
They and the cowardly companies that have fallen in line behind a child don’t realize that we will merely stay elsewhere, fly with different carriers, be insured by others and live our lives as we always have.
The corporate cowards are the ones who will lose customers who will not come back. They should ask the NFL about that. They will be left to offer discounts to the far left who don’t live the lives that caused these companies to offer us discounts in the first place.
When they come to their senses they will be left with a mess – children don’t clean up after themselves; and we will still be supporting the NRA. We will be stronger and so will the NRA.
To be honest I didn’t even know they offered discounts. My husband is a member and has been for years, he didn’t know either LOL. So this lame “boycott” will not hurt us as much as it has hurt the reputation of many of these companies.
I hope caving to the little Hogg was worth it.
Looking at those two ‘zombies’ side by side - absolutely no emotion or sign they had experienced ‘near death experience’ (at least in their minds) a week ago.
If I were a budding C Manson, I may be looking up these two ‘volunteers’ to the cause...
Didn’t the Pres of Brown Univ tell Amy C
PICK A CAUSE, YOU CAN’T BE OUT HERE PICKETING EVERY LITTLE THING.
I joined the NRA for the one dollar off a second meal at Luby’s. It isn’t as good as buy 12 boneless wins and get the thirteenth free at Hooters, but every little bit helps.
The other discount I thought was good was buying a fishing lure shaped as an AR-15. It is part of a larger commemorative set. Once you have the whole set, you can purchase a key ring with your favorite liberal politician with a target hand painted on him. I’m going for that because it’s a lot better than my current key ring.
No. That said I do use the insurance and EA+ programs.
I never knew most of them existed. I am an NRA safety officer and they post other discounts to us. Many layers in the NRA organization. I never joined for discounts, never used one ever. That is not why I joined or am a life member.
To be bruatally honest I have been an NRA member for years now and I didn’t even realize they offered discounts. I have always used AAA or AMAC (years ago AARP). I did NOT join NRA or GOA for discounts on anything.
seriously, does anyone actually pay list price for travel?
I have a flurry of discount flyers from credit cards, memberships and just plain unsolicited mailers. I’ve never used any of them.
... no, but as long as I’m a member, I’d like to see them offer an across-State-lines health care insurance...
I just joined the NRA on Sunday, and wasn’t aware of any discounts until this contrived “controversy” by the leftist loons.
Bttt.

Same here. I joined the NRA because I believe in the right to keep and bear arms and I like to read American Rifleman. I never knew there were discounts.
I didn’t know there were any discounts...
I’ve been an member of NRA since the early 70s, with a few off periods. I vaguely knew about some discounts but never looked into it, much less used them. I belong to a few other organizations that offer discounts but have likewise never used them.
I know plenty of people who waited to buy an NRA life membership until they could get a hefty discount on the fee. Which only makes sense if you bought a life membership just for bragging rights.
I do not. However, I re-upped with the NRA on Monday and the web site...particularly the “Join” page... was really slow and at times unavailable. I suspect that many folks are joining to show their support.
