NRA does not disappoint
On Friday we suggested you should watch this weekend's National Rifle Association convention in Pittsburgh. The first vice president of NRA said, and I'm not kidding, "I thank God they [soldiers] serve under a commander-in-chief who has vowed he will never beg for a permission slip from anybody to defend America." And here come the words to remember: "I'd rather fight the battles in the streets of Baghdad than in the streets of Pittsburgh." Whoa Nelly!

I guess this person echoes her God-given commander-in-chief, who preferred to fight the Vietnam War in the streets of Birmingham than in the streets of Saigon.
