Topic: Fascinating Events in Georgia RE NRA | |
---|---|
The thing that's interesting to me, is that every OTHER time I've seen this kind of sweetheart deal going on with governments special tax breaks to corporations, the politicians explanations for the give-away, has been that the corporation had the state over a barrel. That the state had to give the beaks away, in order to get the corporation to bring jobs there. That's how state politicians always sell the citizens on the overt bribery. This time, the state politicians are claiming the opposite, that they were ABOUT to bribe the corporation with tax breaks, apparently because they felt sorry for them or something. They expect Delta to cave in and go back to giving discounts to NRA members, because they are more desperate to move business to Georgia, than they are to establish or to hold any moral principles of any kind. So which is it? Were they lying when they said they HAD to bribe Delta with tax breaks? Or are they lying now? Good question. And also will NRA allegiance be larger than allegiance to jobs and safety? Looks like Enterprise car rental is ending NRA discounts too ... lets see how much more upset politicians get over their discounts being taken than they do over kids in schools being mowed down http://www.yahoo.com/news/stephen-colbert-nails-nra-apos-045754347.html |

I didnt say anything about people who 'support' the NRA. I was talking about people CHOOSING the NRA OVER the safety of students and jobs of citizens. I care about having fun, I also care about staying safe. If I Care more about having fun than staying safe, Im childish. That does not follow that if I care about staying safe, I dont also care about having fun. BUt Im sure thats just not going to get through to the dramatic and scandal driven. IN this case, the relevance is in the NRAs reluctance to support gun regulations that could save lives (NRA seeing gun sales more important than NRA seeing less mass shootings by less of these weapons on the streets) and in the choice to turn down potential business and jobs over whether card carriers get a 'discount' or not. I dont know what all the NRA card carriers believe, I only know what the actual NRA's positions are on these issues. I am not being 'offensive' to anyone except the association leadership. I accept diversity too. I dont accept being unwilling to try to take weapons of mass shootings out of circulation. |

I agree. It was well written even if it addressed something no one said. |
