No. It’s not. We saw it last night on Fox. Very impressed how well the ad was produced. As my husband said, “it unmasked the left.” With all the attention that’s been brought to it, more and more people will see it and the maybe, they too, will raise the “fist of truth.”

“This NRA recruitment video is even upsetting gun owners” who are P*SSIES.

Whining leftists don’t give a da*m about their side’s rhetoric that causes other leftists to actually shoot republican lawmakers or assault conservatives. FUSB

"The video tries to create an 'us-vs-them' narrative and pit Americans against one another," the petition, which has garnered about 10,500 signatures, adds. "It paints liberals as liars and as violent, unruly protesters who law-abiding gun owners need protection from."

So, what's wrong with the ad again?

My God, the left has been openly inciting violence, against both politicians and voters, and they’re upset that after they incited the violence, people aren’t going to just take it from them? That we’re not going to just be sitting ducks and compliant victims?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Scalise was a “wake up call” of the worst kind. I didn’t miss it .... I’m guessing a lot of Americans who have the means & ability to DEFEND THEMSELVES didn’t miss it either. I hate hash tags, but here’s one: #NotASittingDuck

Reading the Sac-o-crap Bee story, you’d think that Dana Loesch held up the bloody severed head of President Obama or something.

THE CIVIL WAR IS HERE

The left doesn’t want to secede. It wants to rule.

This civil war is very different than the last one. There are no cannons or cavalry charges. The left doesn’t want to secede. It wants to rule. Political conflicts become civil wars when one side refuses to accept the existing authority. The left has rejected all forms of authority that it doesn’t control.

The left has rejected the outcome of the last two presidential elections won by Republicans. It has rejected the judicial authority of the Supreme Court when it decisions don’t accord with its agenda. It rejects the legislative authority of Congress when it is not dominated by the left.

It rejected the Constitution so long ago that it hardly bears mentioning.

It was for total unilateral executive authority under Obama. And now it’s for states unilaterally deciding what laws they will follow. (As long as that involves defying immigration laws under Trump, not following them under Obama.) It was for the sacrosanct authority of the Senate when it held the majority. Then it decried the Senate as an outmoded institution when the Republicans took it over.

It was for Obama defying the orders of Federal judges, no matter how well grounded in existing law, and it is for Federal judges overriding any order by Trump on any grounds whatsoever. It was for Obama penalizing whistleblowers, but now undermining the government from within has become “patriotic”.

There is no form of legal authority that the left accepts as a permanent institution. It only utilizes forms of authority selectively when it controls them. But when government officials refuse the orders of the duly elected government because their allegiance is to an ideology whose agenda is in conflict with the President and Congress, that’s not activism, protest, politics or civil disobedience; it’s treason.

After losing Congress, the left consolidated its authority in the White House. After losing the White House, the left shifted its center of authority to Federal judges and unelected government officials. Each defeat led the radicalized Democrats to relocate from more democratic to less democratic institutions.

This isn’t just hypocrisy. That’s a common political sin. Hypocrites maneuver within the system. The left has no allegiance to the system. It accepts no laws other than those dictated by its ideology.

Democrats have become radicalized by the left. This doesn’t just mean that they pursue all sorts of bad policies. It means that their first and foremost allegiance is to an ideology, not the Constitution, not our country or our system of government. All of those are only to be used as vehicles for their ideology.

That’s why compromise has become impossible.

[...]

The left has made it clear that it will not accept the lawful authority of our system of government. It will not accept the outcome of elections. It will not accept these things because they are at odds with its ideology and because they represent the will of large portions of the country whom they despise.

The question is what comes next.

The last time around growing tensions began to explode in violent confrontations between extremists on both sides. These extremists were lauded by moderates who mainstreamed their views. The first Republican president was elected and rejected. The political tensions led to conflict and then civil war.

The left doesn’t believe in secession. It’s an authoritarian political movement that has lost democratic authority. There is now a political power struggle underway between the democratically elected officials and the undemocratic machinery of government aided by a handful of judges and local elected officials.

What this really means is that there are two competing governments; the legal government and a treasonous anti-government of the left. If this political conflict progresses, agencies and individuals at every level of government will be asked to demonstrate their allegiance to these two competing governments. And that can swiftly and explosively transform into an actual civil war.

There is no sign that the left understands or is troubled by the implications of the conflict it has initiated. And there are few signs that Democrats properly understand the dangerous road that the radical left is drawing them toward. The left assumes that the winners of a democratic election will back down rather than stand on their authority. It is unprepared for the possibility that democracy won’t die in darkness.

Civil wars end when one side is forced to accept the authority of the other. The left expects everyone to accept its ideological authority. Conservatives expect the left to accept Constitutional authority. The conflict is still political and cultural. It’s being fought in the media and within the government. But if neither side backs down, then it will go beyond words as both sides give contradictory orders.

The left is a treasonous movement. The Democrats became a treasonous organization when they fell under the sway of a movement that rejects our system of government, its laws and its elections. Now their treason is coming to a head. They are engaged in a struggle for power against the government. That’s not protest. It’s not activism. The old treason of the sixties has come of age. A civil war has begun.

This is a primal conflict between a totalitarian system and a democratic system. Its outcome will determine whether we will be a free nation or a nation of slaves.

Ummm....the article is about a new NRA video that is even upsetting gun owners and NRA members, yet immediately goes to quotes from Deray McKesson and Montel Williams?

This will undoubtedly be one of the most successful membership drives in the history of the NRA, specifically becasue of this video.

The ad is a very good one that should motivate those who are still on the fence.

Kudos to Dana Loesch and the NRA.

The media can always find a Fudd who will show them an NRA card and spout off about not hunting with SBRs, etc. Then they’ll take the enemedia to their gun cabinet to show off all their multi-buck trap & skeet guns to buttress their bona fides.
