It's time to renew my National Rifle Association membership, and the NRA gave me a phone call with an offer that was hard to refuse. I'll renew. I love the organization. But, right now, the money is not exactly flowing in quickly. They'll have to wait.
The phone call, however, caught my attention, because the pitch to urge me to renew was all about money. The NRA needs a lot of it, I was being told, because George Soros and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg were in the process of pumping tens of millions of dollars into an effort to ban guns, including confiscation, by 2016.
Pretty scary stuff. I still don't understand why these people are so adamant about banning guns.
Actually, I do understand, but their reasoning, from a logical point of view, makes no sense. Their thinking, however, has nothing to do with logic, and everything to do with agenda. The short of it is that an unarmed public is easier to control, and the opposition is easier to arrest and silence. Never mind the IRS. If the public is unarmed, shutting up TEA Party organizations will take on a whole new flavor.
The surface story that they tell us is that gun bans save lives, and saves the little children. Not only is that a statistical lie based on the reality of historical evidence, but if these people are so adamant about protecting the children from mean ol' gunmen, how is it they are also in the process of proposing allowing abortion up to full term?
So much for protecting the children.
Not that I didn't believe the woman on the phone from the NRA, but I decided to check out what she was saying, and it wasn't hard. Proudly, liberal left sites were proclaiming Bloomberg's plan (although George Soros was not exactly reported as front and center as his accomplice).
Fire Dog Lake, a well known, and established, hard left liberal democrat website, was the first I found reporting on Bloomberg's plans. The article was dated from last April.
According to the site, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has indeed decided to take on the National Rifle Association, pledging to spend $50 million to build a cross-country gun control activist organization.
He says he's gonna use the same tactics he believes the NRA uses.
That's got to be an error, because I doubt he'll use the strategy of "the Constitution," "the truth," and "common sense" as the NRA does.
Bloomberg said of the NRA, and I am assuming gun owners, as well, “We’ve got to make them afraid of us.”
Bloomberg has already spent millions promoting gun control all to no avail so far.
So Bloomberg is going to spend a lot of money, and play hardball to force government mandates against Americans, disallowing them to defend their own property, and taking away our main defense against tyranny - let alone a God-given right.
I wonder if he's planning on pursuing bigger political aspirations, because other than Soros, that tends to be the reason a leftist starts pumping money into failed liberal left causes. Well, either that, or he wants to get a part in a movie in Hollywood, and work in that industry has been hard to come by for him.
Bloomberg's biggest reason for spending so much money in an attempt to stop the NRA, I am thinking (putting me and FDL on the same page), is not as much to stop guns as it is to swing elections. Using scare tactics, scaring the low-information voters to the polls telling them if they don't vote Democrat, the Republicans are going to arm more people to kill their children, just might energize the hard-left brainless vote. They've got to. They've been killing voters in the womb for years, and the importation of voters through illegal immigration isn't happening fast enough for them.
The biggest thing of all, though, as the Democrats celebrate billionaires pumping money into one of their causes, we must ask, "How is that different than the Koch Brothers?"
