The pro-life debacle is interesting precisely because the pro-life movement is owned by the Republican Party, much as blacks are owned -- and ignored, except for the usual tokenism -- by the Democrat Party. Thus, when RINOs are in power, as they usually are, pro-lifers are commanded to stay on the plantation and vote for the lesser evil.
You NEVER win by making concessions.
Martin Luther King didn’t say to the blacks of the south “move to the back of the bus” or “you don’t really need to sit at the luncheon counter”. Right is right.
The NRA is on the wrong side of too many issues.
I honestly believe gun owners would be better off if the NRA just folded and a new organization took their place. All they are concerned about is power, not the 2A.
