#1 "The NRA is maligned 24/7."

Add Trump to that list of Br'er Rabbits who are ensnared by the tar baby. The fable states that Br'er Fox comes up with a tar baby to trap Br'er Rabbit. The more Br'er Rabbit fights, the more ensnared he becomes with the tar baby.

Except with the NRA or gun sales, it doesn't usually work out as in the fable. NRA membership and gun sales usually increase with every attempt by the left to limit or disarm the country.

Bloomberg is pushing March for Our Lives. Many left-wing mayors are also behind "March." George Clooney and other Hollywoodie types are also supporting the march. Probably, Soros money is in there somewhere.

#2 When these "youths" discover how the older generation has put them in hock forever, they are going to have bigger things to worry about. Some of them will even realize they were distracted by a bright shiny object dangled by older people (celebrities) when they should have been looking at something entirely more destructive to their lives later on.

#3 It is the Facebook generation meets participation trophies meets self-esteem teaching in elementary school.

they all crave attention and it is not so much the cause as it is the attention.

This young useful idiot Hogg is really at his root a toxic narcissist craving attention. He's a sicko.

#4 This young useful idiot Hogg is really at his root a toxic narcissist craving attention. He's a sicko.

And a bit of a maroon. I was amused by his outrage the other day over how his school mandating clear backpacks is a violation of their 1st Amendment rights.

#5 Hogg is a gift to the NRA. His raised fist picture and snarling potty mouth visage is already causing queasiness in some quarters and deserved jaundiced eye in others.

#8 The strangest place I've heard of a bum with the tin cup out is the airline passenger exit. I worked with this guy Jack who complained about it at the Atlanta airport. I told him - 'that's prime panhandling real estate. You know how many bottles of Mad Dog 20-20 you can buy on a good day?'

#10 The follow the money line should also be applied to all of that Anti War movement and the weathermen and SDS. I bet you would find some interesting funding sources...might sort of take the bloom off the rose of the romantic revolutionaries...Cuba? USSR? ChiCom? NORK? At any rate they had a lot of money to travel and live high while in hiding and seemed to always has lots of money and sources for incendiaries and explosives.

Same can be said for these dim light bulbs. If they knew where the money was coming from and who was the wizard behind the curtain I would be some would opt out of this silliness.
