Norquist and the NRA? Yep, he's on their board of directors

ah the real threat by Norquist, he's on the NRA board no wonder they kiss his ring. that's a crap eating grin if i ever saw one.
It makes sense.
Grover Norquist is on the board of directors of the NRA.  
It's the perfect illustration of what's wrong with this country. There was a time when the politician who won elections was the one who touted "I will represent you, not special interests!"
Now it seems that "special interests" have more control of our government and as we peel the onion, each layer smells worse than the last.
We need to start comparing the lists of senators and congressmen who signed the tax pledge, to those who have high grades from the NRA.
And, those who are on both lists need to go. "We can't tolerate this anymore."
and with his influence he, we have to think on behalf of the NRA attempt to direct our political figures, i keep sayin' who's the boss?
It's easy to understand why Norquist finds himself at home on the National Rifle Association Board of Directors. The organization pays a lot of lip service to "freedom," even going so far as to call itself "the nation's oldest civil rights organization," but it's always willing to trample the freedom of others who get in its way. For example,
the NRA had no problem pushing Congress to close the courts to lawsuits by victims of gun violence in order to protect its financiers in the gun industry. The NRA has also not hesitated to dismantle the presumption of innocence when it allows gun owners to shoot first and ask questions later.
oldest civil rights org huh you can take the right wing skunk out of congress and it will stink in it's new place just as much
