The National Rifle Association just had an amazing victory in defeating a bill to require universal background checks on gun purchases something it endorsed 15 years ago and yet the speakers at its 142nd annual convention in Houston sounded awfully bitter. Several speakers devoted part of their speeches to media criticism, saying the big bad MSM had been mean to them. "Those in the media yeah, you know who I'm talking about they think they know better than we do, they think they're msarter than us," said Wayne LaPierre, the gun lobby's executive vice president. "Some in the media try to turn us into the bad guys," said Rick Perry, the gun toting Texas governor. "Acronyms," Sarah Palin said, like MSNBC, CBS, ABC, "one day they will think themselves accursed that they were not in this fight with us."
On Friday, the convention felt like a mini-CPAC, in that several potential presidential candidates took turns on the stage Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Perry or appeared in video form, as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan did. Perhaps that explains the feeling of doom amid glorious triumph, because the gun legislation victory came just a few months after devastating electoral defeat. And so there were many displays of masculine swagger, enough to show that all these tough young guns could take on all of the weak young gun-grabbers currently occupying the White House. Perry was introduced with a comically over-the-top video of himself showing great manliness while shooting at targets and wearing safety equipment. There's that GIF above, but you need the Ted Nugent soundtrack for full effect:
Cruz dared Vice President Joe Biden to debate the cause of crime.....

I like the way Elspeth (has to be a Lib) misspelled smarter as “msarter.”
...there is no common ground.
The Left really got their little fannies hurt on this, didn’t they? Obama owned this issue, and got whipped. Two firsts. They are welcome to keep on bringing it up.
Our side needs to spike the football, go pick it up, let a lineman spike it again, do a choreographed celebration dance, taunt, and anything else that comes to mind.
Perry-Palin sounds pretty good to me. It’s be even better the other way around.
PUH-LEEZ Sarah Ping!
I just wanted to ping Sarah's Awesome list to show how PATHETIC Yahoo.com News is.

She also misspelled “weak” as “week” but I corrected it for her.
Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy
New Republic editor Franklin Foer disclosed that Beauchamp is married to Elspeth Reeve, a former New Republic reporter and fact checker, and that his relationship with Reeve was “part of the reason why we found him to be a credible writer.”[6] Accused of insufficient fact-checking, the magazine had, according to Foer, planned to “re-report every detail”,[2] but the magazine later stated that their investigation was “short circuited” after the Army severed Beauchamp’s communications with anyone overseas

Doesn’t it make Elspeth nervous to be around all those scary gun nuts? (/s)
No wonder it’s tough for Elspeth to talk clearly — all that bile in her throat.
” Perry was introduced with a comically over-the-top video of himself showing great manliness while shooting at targets and wearing safety equipment. “
Looks like Yahootie “News” has wet their panties over Governor Perry’s day at the range
Good. Maybe they will get diaper rash.
In the meantime the politrickcions need to get off their butts and get this stuff passed.
Right now they seem to be totally absorbed in spending the rainy day fund on water legislation.
That is important, yes, but so is safeguarding the Second Amendment Rights of American Citizens in the State of Texas.

Looks like she feel out of an Ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Need some Sarah eye bleach after that one.
Not good being a sore winner when the animals in the regime are just regrouping. Of course I don’t know if the convention goers were actually being sore winners. And I tend not to believe the MSM on that account
