NRA + 2 WARS = MORE MONEY AND POWER THAN YOU OR I CAN IMAGINE

The NRA and outfits like them are the reason why the Repigs are fighting to stay in one war or jump into another war all of the time. This is their way of siphoning money from the government legally. They can dictate to any politician and they had better get to stepping or that will be it for them. Who the hell else do you know who can say, "I'm scoring this vote."? What kind of shit is that for a democratic government? Money has always run this joint and now they have grown weary of pretending not to. Holder most likely was getting close to their gun supply route in Mexico and they devised a plan to circumvent his investigation. It's a cash circle that would make most of us dizzy. So, don't be surprised at who votes to hold Holder in contempt.

The NRA certainly has a lot to answer for in terms of promoting a culture of gun violence and fear, the result of which is partially responsible for incidents like the Trayvon Martin case.

However, the NRA pales in comparison to the Military-industrial complex. It is the CIA and Pentagon who have been promoting the pro-war industry for the past half a century and engaging in conflict just for the sake of profit.

Dwight Eisenhower, the last Republican President with any integrity, warned Americans about this in his retirement speech in January 1961.
