I am sure that most remember Obama’s election quote about "bitter" small town America who “cling to guns or religion…as a way to explain their frustrations.”Okay—I am going to use a quote of Hillary Clinton (no, the lake of fire has not frozen over)—BUT—unbelievably, Hillary Clinton summed up many Americans’ feelings with the following quote:
"Americans who believe in the Second Amendment believe it's a constitutional right. Americans who believe in God believe it's a matter of personal faith. Americans who believe in protecting good American jobs believe it's a matter of the American dream. People embrace faith not because they are materially poor but because they are spiritually rich."
I cling to my “religion”—actually I cling to MY HEAVENLY FATHER—who provides me direction, comfort, and hope in this present world. I have never clung to guns—in fact, I have never shot a gun—much less owned one—but today I joined the N*tional Ri*fle Ass*ociation.
Given the fact that I have never touched a gun, why would I join the the N*RA? Simply because I cherish EACH and every one of my Constitutional rights—and exercise these rights.
Will I actually purchase a gun? Not so sure—but I want the RIGHT to purchase a gun—if and when I so choose.
Thomas Jefferson:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
For those interested, the N*RA is offering a free one-year membership.
Hate tip to The Preacher’s Wife for the free membership information. Thank you.
