There is a thing called "NRA News" and they blame just about everything on the "Godless Left." Hey!

Courtesy of the Washington Post:

After the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., the Daily News deployed all of its tabloid cover in an attack on what it called America’s “gun scourge” and the “cowards,” meaning the politicians, hiding “behind meaningless platitudes” instead of fixing the problem. “GOD ISN’T FIXING THIS” was the headline. Now the National Rifle Association has fired back, with its own screaming headline, directed at the Daily News specifically and the “Godless Left” in general. Narrated by a grim-faced Dana Loesch, and interwoven with video footage of what appears to be first responders, the NRA video leaves no stone unturned and none of its demons unscathed as it connects the dots, as the video’s introduction says, between “the global alliance of elitists, media activists, Hollywood celebrities, campus radicals and political power mongers who have openly attacked sacred American values and the people who cherish them with ruthlessness, contempt and downright hatred,” and who share “the same fanatical fervor to tear apart the foundations of America as the terrorists who threaten our very survival. Only hours after an attack of radical jihadi terror on American soil,” says Loesch, a conservative radio host, in the video, “the New York Daily News became the loudest, vilest, most condescending voice for what many people call the Godless Left. “These false prophets at this failing excuse for a newspaper claimed to enjoy special knowledge of God’s plans somehow … even as they mocked the entire concept of religion. But they weren’t alone. As a horrific act of terror unfolded in real time, the majority of Americans turned to earnest prayer for the dead, the wounded, their families and the world — while political and media elites joined forces to insult and mock and disparage them … and in so doing, laid bare the utter moral depravity of the Godless Left.” 

She manages to interconnect all of the following: Benghazi, Hillary Clinton, the media, the Boston Marathon bombing and the Fort Hood attacks, the “unconscionable scandals at the VA,” the “weaponizing of the IRS,” Obamacare, and the “demonizing” of Christmas and Christianity, not to mention “the only religion in the world that contains a segment” that “condones” terrorism. By the end, she finally gets around to guns. “As the families of the victims in San Bernardino called out to their fellow Americans for prayer, the Godless Left launched a vitriolic attack on the twin pillars of American freedom: the First and Second Amendments.”

This vile Dan Loesh woman is another Sarah Palin disciple, who has established herself as a conservative talk show host, and now a spokesperson for the NRA.

Clearly in her mind, and I imagine the NRA's, the real terrorists in this country are those trying to protect its citizens from gun violence. After all how can you trust the "godless?"

Of course it is not at all accurate to suggest that all, or even a significant portion, of the people supporting stronger gun laws are atheists or even liberals.

After all bullets do not use faith or ideology to discriminate as to whose body they rip to pieces. They simply kill.

However I guarantee that this kind of hyperbole will work to galvanize the simple minded NRA supporters and the next thing you know there will be thousands of emails and mountains of snail mail headed toward Washington DC to let lawmakers know that the only way they can restrict access to firearms in this country is to pry them out of their "cold dead hands."

    For you Christian people, the early NRA followers, aka the KKK God Fearing Christian Organization from the South used to hang and "light the motherfuc_ers on fire" aka coons or colored people back in the day who today are known as African Americans.

    The South loves the NRA & Sarah Palin and now they love them some Donald Trump

  5. PSSSST ... someone tell that idiot that in America your political beliefs are totally separate from your religious beliefs.

    I know (what I think is a surprising amount of) gay conservative Republicans who would suggest they would let their small intestines choke them to death before they would vote for Hillary Clinton. And I know plenty of very religious Democrats who fight to make sure things like Creationism aren't being taught in public schools.

    I think what boggles my mind about this woman is the very narrow framework she is painting. It's the exact same thing that led to me leaving the Republican party, heck. guess it's over twenty years now. They kept telling me because I supported Roe v. Wade, I wasn't a Republican. They kept telling me if I thought that, if we want to go to war we should have a tax increase to pay for it, I wasn't a Republican. They kept telling ME I wasn't a Republican, so I switched parties.

    Now I have to choose between God and a political party?
    Not in America I don't! EFF You, lady!

  6. April 6, 2008, remarks by then-Senator Obama at a campaign fundraiser:

    You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.
    And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.


    "God, Guns and Gravy", as Mike Huckabee likes to say. The aggressive judgmental wannabe-martyr attitudes of today's American conservative are the polar opposite of what I'd expect from a true Christian.

    I don't consider myself either atheist or "godless" but I'm sure not going to let a evil wingnut like Dana Loesch judge me.

    Dana says "godless" as if it's a bad thing. What caliber of bullet and type of gun do her godfull friends find suggested in the Bible? She kind of proves her own point. If God will fix it, what's taking her so long? What God allows innocent people and kids die?

      I know!! I am so sick of hearing this "God-given right to gun ownership" stuff. God must be a little slow on the uptake, since itook him more than 6,000 years of the entire history of mankind (snark!) for God to grant this right.

      And even then, it was just a bunch of crappy little muskets.

    Sarah is such a valuable asset to Donald. You know Putin keeps an eye on her from his porch he must be bedazzled. Did you see her latest shot where she is saving Trig from Daesh and has a gun? Putin would love to have both Trump and his cabinet member to Moscow for a little talk about gas.

    Putin: Donald Trump is ‘Brilliant,’ Russia Welcomes His Presidency.

    Trump is the healthiest. I am looking forward to his photographs to prove he is the best.


    I can't wait until Daesh gives their endorsement.
