Hey you fringe, wacko, out of the mainstream on gun types, you better get with the program and take a stand for what is right. Stand up to the powerful politicians who are beholden to special interests and lobbying groups and are against the American people. Ask yourself if your stance on guns is really helping families and children and the poor. Ask yourself do they really, really need something that obviously wasn’t the intent of the founders?
Don’t listen to those extreme out of touch, gun control freaks. They’re way outside the mainstream.
Seriously.
Who’s on the American fringe, the NRA or Hillary and Obozo?
If you ask that latter they’d answer the NRA, of course. (Although most intellectually honest observers really won’t believe either of them; they’re Democrats, you see, they lie. A lot.) But suppose their words were taken as sincere. Listening to all the chatter over there, you’d think they’d be right. But they’re not. They’re pounding the podium because they don’t have the facts on their side. It’s the NRA that has approval ratings most politicians would kill for (as some have).
The following is from an excellent as usual piece by Charles C.W. Cooke at NRO . I encourage reading the entire thing. The statistics below are simply delicious. (Emphasis in bold, mine.)
As Gallup confirmed just this week, the NRA is not a fringe organization that has managed somehow to impose a greatly undeserved octopus’s grip, but a mainstream plank of American civil society with approval ratings of which the vast majority of national politicians could only dream. “Despite a year of blistering criticism,” the polling firm notes, “58% in the U.S. have a favorable opinion” of the NRA — a number that “includes the highest recording of ‘very favorable’ opinions (26%) since Gallup began asking this question in 1989.” That trend line is moving upwards.
To grasp just how impressive these numbers are in context, consider that since June 2009 there has been just one week during which the twice-elected president of the United States has been that popular. Per Gallup’s favorability tracker, Obama’s latest approval rating is just 46 percent, twelve points lower than the NRA’s. This is no aberration. Over the last two years, the NRA’s rating has never dropped below 54 percent. Over the same period, Obama’s has never hit 50. A similar story obtains for Hillary Clinton, whose current favorability rating (42 percent) is 16 points below the NRA’s. Per HuffPost Pollster, the last month in which Clinton enjoyed NRA-like approval numbers was December of 2012 — before she re-entered the political field and set about reminding voters precisely why they dislike her. Who, one has to wonder, do we need to “stand up to” whom?
With a ratings gap like that, it’s obvious who’s the wacko, out of touch with the American mainstream, bought and sold by the anti-gun lobbying billionaires like midget Bloomberg, and bloated millionaires like Michael “all you can eat” Moore. They’re the out of the mainstream wack jobs but are too insulated in their own security guarded bubble to know better.
