Hmmmm. The picture seems to indicate that some grandmas oppose/are against pictures of guns. After all, we know pictures can lead to acitons. Right?

Maybe we should pressure VISA to cut ties with organizations trying to undermine the Constitution and violate our rights!

So, in addition to calling climate change proponents nazis we should also call gun control proponents nazis. Climate change nazis or CCN’s and gun control nazis or GCN’s. Works for me.

Carry a card that supports the NRA ... with no annual fee.

Every purchase helps fund valuable NRA programs at no cost to you

Via: http://www.nraaccounts.com/banner_web/

Receive a $35 statement credit with first purchase.** That’s enough to reimburse your one-year NRA membership!

It's things like this that make me positive that an alternative to government fiat currency is an absolute necessity to defeat the big-government/big-corporate crony-fascist complex.

Nobody can pressure Bitcoin to stop serving a particular industry.

Bitcoin may not be the ultimate answer, but something like Bitcoin will.

I think that the fact that Visa deals in Dollars instead of Bitcoins is irrelevant.

There are other credit card companies around—don’t think they can shut them all down—and if they do, I’m sure new ones will pop up.

Liberals do have problems figuring out cause and effect, don’t they..

Makes me want to sign up for a card, even though I have a Cabela’s Black card which I now use exclusively. But this sure makes me want to get one from the NRA.

Visa can decide to not service the NRA anymore. Bitcoin can’t.

Visa is a credit issuing company, not a currency.

They can stop accepting payments for the NRA.

That's what's being threatened here.

Or did you miss that part?

Pres. Kennedy tried to put the USA on a different currency than the Foreign controlled Fed Reserve notes we have been using since Pres. Wilson. He was pushing for and actually had printed over 250 million other dollars called US Treasury dollars. A look at history tells what happens when the Euro money powers don’t like what the USA does independently. I suspect there are some people are looking very seriously at when to squelch any exchange medium than Fed Reserve notes.

You, me and millions of others.

I can get 10 credit cards tomorrow and VISA needs me more than I need VISA.

Isn’t it interesting how the left celebrates sodomy and despises the 2nd Amendment?

Yet when Christians speak out against immorality, they’re labeled as haters.

Raging Grannies Rent-A-Mob. That’s all it is.

Liberal women don’t age well. All that pent-up hatred has a corrosive effect on the exterior.

visa doesn't realize the impact that would have on their bottom line if they take such a foolish action. CEO heads are likely to roll.
