Graham Teaming with Durbin on ‘DREAMers’ Endangers Gun Owner Rights


Yet for its part, NRA calls Graham “committed to defending our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.” And because it will not factor politicians’ related actions that undermine that into their grading and endorsement system, most members will never know how betrayal on immigration equates to taking back today’s “good votes” and ensuring tomorrow’s will only be bad ones.

You'd think if someone could answer my challenge they would have by now.

We're the Only Ones Throwing Under the Bus Enough

“The actions in question go against who we are in the department, how we train and the expectations we have for our officers,” Harteau said. “These were the actions and judgment of one individual.” [More]
Way to cover for the vibrancy "standards."

Seven Aurora police officers and their families are suing the city and a former records manager in federal court over the alleged release of personal information to an imprisoned felon and known gang associate who the officers helped send to prison. [More]
That's inexcusable. I hope they win their case.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) urged President Trump to support a revived DREAM Act and said at the “snap of his fingers” Trump could convince the Republican Party to unite behind providing a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants. Graham, who won re-election in 2014, also told South Carolina residents who oppose the DREAM Act not to vote for him. [More]

Muricah!

By presenting such “researchers” as the arbiters of what is moderate, it makes opponents seem unreasonable and extreme, which is the goal. [More]
If the gun-grabbers are "moderate," what does that make you? These people are all about deception. You know why that is.

We're the Only Ones Penetrating Enough

A uniformed Summit County sheriff's deputy is accused of stopping a woman on an Akron street and sexually assaulting her in a parking lot.  [More]
