A couple weeks back someone posted an article from the New Republic about Grover Norquist's going in the tank for Islam, and engineering Dub's "Islam is a religion of Peace" PR strategy. There was also an article from National Review Online on the topic.
Someone in one of the threads mentioned that Grover is on the NRA board of directors. I informed the NRA that I wouldn't renew my membership if that remained the case.
My question is, have there been any recent developments? I know that Weyrich and a couple other folks had mildly chastised Norquist; but it seems that if he wishes to stay in the conservative fold, he needs to quit tanking for groups (CAIR; AMC) that tank for Hamas and Hizbollah.
Thoughts from anyone?
Israel, as you know, can end this in no time. But they don't want to take all the heat. Better to use Americans as human shields. These pro-Israel rallies pitched to conservatives are a hoot. Here in South Florida, a talk show host or the papers will rant about Ashcroft being a fascist, Bush and Cheney waging the war to make money in oil, the US military being killers of civilians, Gitmo a violation of humans right and THEN in the next breath, they ask people to send money or take to the streets in support of Israel.
He has reacted defensively to the attacks on some of his associates, and now is identifying more and more with them. If he does not straighten out his thinking on this matter he will end up being converted by them to their cause, rather than converting them to his cause. This would be a sad result for an outstanding conservative activist.
The articles demonstrate that the answer to the question asked here is yes, he has been taken to task by some on the right. The conservative movement not being a church, he can't be excommunicated, but he will eventually be a pariah, should he not reject all terrorist associates.
It is obvious that he is not likely to be impeached from his seat on the NRA board, unless he gets a lot worse. They probably will just ignore him until his term is up.
I still find it odd how the Condo Communists have skipped over Martin to settle in St. Lucie.
If you want to become the ultimate cynic, move here. PBC makes politics in NYC and New England seem honest and straight forward.
I know. Parents currently live in Boca Raton and yours truly graduated High School there. Shortly after graduation, I went back to New York!
