I somewhat agree. I view him as the conservative ying to the liberal Ralph Nader. Both serve a very important purpose, and both are unyielding to their principles, even if they can make further progress to important things they claim to care about.The Annoyed Man wrote:I've found Ron Paul to be a nutcase.
Both are "useful idiots" as my girlfriend calls them.
And props to Obama for signing yet another pro gun piece of legislation (The parks bit attached to the credit card bill being another good one)
I hope Obama keeps up his current track record of annoying anti-gun groups and passing more pro-gun legislation, whatever his reason may be.
Thanks to the work of so many people, and orgs like the NRA (even though I'm still annoyed at them) it's been made clear to most politicians that guns are not a wedge issue that will work for them. I think Obama's actions on guns as President has so far proven that, and I hope continues to do so.
This is why it's important to support organizations like the NRA (and even my other pet org, the ACLU) who work to keep your rights intact, even if you do not agree with everything they do. I certainly don't, but they get a check from me every year, as well as my support when they ask for it.
