    How about copying that for those of us who aren't able to see behind the paywall?

    Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.

    Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

    You really have to ask why Conservatives have guns? Because Liberals block freeways, burn cities, throw Molotov cocktails, loot, turn over cop cars, and think this behavior is Socially Acceptable.

    The NRA are televangelists for guns.

    We keep getting promises in exchange for money.

    That works too.

    Sipsey Street was where I had heard the homosexual gravy train theory concerning NRA operations.

    I wasn't even particularly suggesting that the Weasel swings that way, just applying one of my standard canned expressions of contempt, much like how my reflexive response to being demanded that I prove a negative is to go straight to "Okay, AFTER you prove YOU'RE not a child molester. Can't do it, can you, KIDDIE DIDDLER?"

    Summary: it wasn't being used as an insult on Sipsey site, but as an explanation of what is going on at NRA (since it sure isn't what they advertise they are doing) based on some claims that had been made.

    Would plausibly explain the huge acrimonious split that got Cox tossed out on his ass... thanks for the supplemental explanation. I wouldn't be surprised if the Gaystapo does blackmail "closets" who'd have something to lose from being outed, since it's long been known that NOTHING is beneath Progs.

    May be nothing, but I had heard their names for decades with zilch about them being married. Not long after that site posted that I started seeing "Wayne's wife this and that" accompanying give to the NRA online brow beatings.

    Without admissions or photo proof it is just rumor/theory, but they sure aren't doing what is claimed so one possible explanation could be as good as another.

    There is no one left there that could put up any fight against Skeletor. A LOT of people went out the door with Cox.
