Disgusted for a moment with the usual drivetime radio fare, I tuned in to National Public Radio on the way to work this morning. They were having a discussion between an almost-fair host and a couple of people from the Waco, Texas area. One was a male stereotype of the kind referred to by Neal Boortz as "abortofascist," and the other was a woman apparently heavily involved with the local Tea Party goings-on.
The host was trying to get the Tea Party lady to take a stand on social issues (vs. the economics-only the Tea Partiers are all about). She kept deflecting. The other guy was about 1.5 steps shy of actually thumping a Bible and generally managing to sound unreasonably stubborn. Speaking of unreasonably . . .
The woman got tired of this topic of discussion and started going on about what the Tea Party stands for (stop spending our money) and what it doesn't (everything else) and she said (as part of a list of places they send people interested in other causes) that, if someone asks about firearms issues, they send them to the NRA or Gun Owners of America. I was unreasonably pleased by this national publicity on left-leaning NPR for GOA. If you're not broke as a joke, please do yourself and your countrymen a favor and donate to the Gun Owners of America right now. They are quietly doing very much of the heavy lifting required to maintain your liberty.
