The title to this blog post, ‘The Dangers Of Being “Single Issue 2A”, may surprise some, as I’ve argued for being just that “single issue” many times. However like most things, there’s a caveat, or a few. Most of what I will post, will not be my own, it’ll be quotations and links to what some may consider “old news”, however I think it needs to be brought up, given recent DEI measures by NRA https://2awhiterook.com/nra-nominating-committee-says-minorities-are-particularly-desired/ and GOA https://2awhiterook.com/fuerza-2a-goa-goes-dei/. I’ll be merely connecting some dots.
The biggest caveat, is immigration. Legal immigration, or illegal aliens, it doesn’t matter, both are bad. Given how they always get given the vote, either legally or “legally”, and they don’t vote our way. Here, David Codrea makes many arguments which are still, nine years later, most relevant, https://www.ammoland.com/2016/03/call-for-more-evidence-only-helps-nra-ignore-amnesty-danger-to-gun-rights/ from the article,
In making his case, Hutchison challenges some claims I’ve made regarding why I believe Norquist’s immigration position and a “pathway to citizenship” for MILLIONS of foreign nationals will overwhelmingly favor Democrats and anti-gunners. He apparently doesn’t grok why turning over control of the legislatures and the courts to anti-gun Democrats rises even to the threat level of “campaign finance reform.” He demands to know if my fears of cultural terraforming are “legit.”
The names above don’t matter. It’s the idea. Why do 2A groups, NRA, GOA and others, endorse politicians who want amnesty, open borders, H1B VISA and similar programs, and other things? Why? These people, if given the vote won’t vote our way. And don’t give me this “oppressive regime” nonsense about where they come from, OUR regime is oppressive yet, over half of America VOTES for it!
So do we really want to have to fight with tens of millions of new, foreign born voters, over Marxism, when we’re already losing huge swaths of the country to native born communists? Does anyone think Texas will be red in a decade? Yeah, right. As Codrea points out, why do we vote for open borders Republicants, who are pro 2A? What do we gain, when we’re setting ourselves up to be out numbered by communists? We are giving away our political power. Mao said “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Is that what we want? Instead of peaceful decision making at the ballot box, we get a us vs the only ones situation, when they go on a civil disarmament spree- that means open combat. I don’t want that, but it’ll happen if we stick with this nonsense.
Harold Hutchison wrote this article, https://www.ammoland.com/2016/02/norquist-immigration-and-the-nra/ Again, nine years old, but very relevant. Below are two paragraphs in full, which cannot be ignored,
The real question is whether the immigration issue really rises to the same level of threat that McCain-Feingold did. Perhaps the NRA Board of Directors needs to set up a task force to examine the issue more closely. Are Codrea’s claims of “cultural terraforming” legit? Can this be countered without compromising the NRA’s “single issue” approach, like advertising on Spanish-language media? Many of those who watch Telemundo or Univision come from Mexico and Central America.
Those countries have much more restrictive gun laws than the United States – gun laws that have failed to prevent violent crime from skyrocketing to levels that make Chicago and Baltimore look like walks in the park. Univision and Telemundo will not be going away any time soon, so the NRA needs to get in that ball game – particularly when at least 248 counties in 25 states were providing bi-lingual ballots in the 2012 Presidential election, most of them in Spanish.
There’s no way to politely say this, anyone who subscribes to this sort of racial pandering, (NRA, GOA), is just plain STUPID. We give our country away, and then somehow expect those we gave it to, to vote pro 2A? B.S. Hutchison unwittingly admits why this idea is garbage… Those central and south American countries don’t allow civilian armament! Their governments have a monopoly on violence! Voting has consequences. If the people down there, are content to be unarmed, and content with their governments to have a monopoly on violence, then, why should we expect their attitudes on civilian armament to change just because they crossed the Rio Grande, either by bridge or by swimming? This isn’t racial. It’s cultural. The only nation which values civilian armament for centuries, and detests a government monopoly on violence, is America. It’s our culture. Does this Hutchison fellow, or NRA or GOA, expect those tens of millions of immigrants who can’t even take their news from English language sources to suddenly cherish the Second Amendment? Well, they won’t. It’s not in their culture! They’re NOT Americans! A piece of paper doesn’t make you an American. Again, we’re back to culture.
Now, a Codrea piece from nine years ago, which appears even more relevant today, then it did then,https://www.ammoland.com/2016/03/goa-defaults-pledge-score-immigration-candidate-grades/
From the piece, GOA responds to Codrea,
David, I just saw your email about our rating. GOA included the amnesty measure in our 2014 rating which only had a vote in the Senate. We only update our ratings every election biennium. We will not be using every immigration measure in our ratings because we are not an immigration group. We did use amnesty because of the nexus to tilting the voting balance in the Congress. I hope you will publish a correction. Larry
Once again, why does “immigration” get either a pass or support? Again I ask, how many cultures around the world, cherish civilian armament? How many cultures have for centuries, opposed a government monopoly on violence? Yet GOA is ok then, and now, with tens of millions, or more immigrants pouring in who have no cultural background with civilian armament, and think they’ll somehow get them to vote, “pro 2A”? Once again, B.S. Further GOA only opposed amnesty? What in the wide wide world of sports is the difference, if neither the immigrants, nor the illegal aliens have any interest in being AMERICAN?
And if anyone thinks going after GOA because of a nine year old statement from Larry Pratt is out of line, well, Erich Pratt is pushing this, https://www.gunowners.org/goa-launches-fuerza-2a-to-champion-hispanic-voices-for-the-second-amendment-at-goals-2025/ So this seems to be a pattern with GOA.
Maybe this is why Larry Pratt and GOA are so pro open borders, and why Erich Pratt’s pushing a 2A version of DEI… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_for_National_Policy Now if you go to the Council For National Policy’s website, you won’t find who their leaders are, I tried, https://cfnp.org/ From Wikipedia… I know, I know…
CNP has membership links to the Committee for the Free World, whose many other members included, among others, some members of the Unification Church of the United States, some Republican Party leaders, and counter-revolutionaries in Latin America, particularly during the 1980s.[19] Midge Decter served as Executive Director of its committee.[20][21][22] Other members included Jeane Kirkpatrick, Leszek Kołakowski, Irving Kristol, Melvin J. Lasky, Seymour M. Lipset, Donald Rumsfeld, Tom Stoppard and George Will. Eugene V. Rostow, then serving as Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency under President Ronald Reagan, was a speaker at a CFW event on Poland.[23]
As you can see, at least according to Wikipedia, they have an association with meddling in Latin American affairs. If you think this is straying too far, once again, from Wikipedia, look at the names,
Members of the CNP have included General John Singlaub, shipping magnate J. Peter Grace, Edwin Feulner of The Heritage Foundation, Rev. Pat Robertson of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Jerry Falwell, U.S. Senator Trent Lott, Southern Baptist Convention activists and retired Texas Court of Appeals Judge Paul Pressler, lawyer and paleoconservative activist Michael Peroutka,[9] Reverend Paige Patterson,[10] Senator Don Nickles, former United States Attorneys General Edwin Meese and John Ashcroft, gun-rights activist Larry Pratt, Colonel Oliver North, Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, philanthropist Elsa Prince (mother of Blackwater founder and former CEO Erik Prince and Trump Administration Secretary of Education Betsy Devos), Leonard Leo, Virginia Thomas (wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas).[1] Former California State Assemblyman Steve Baldwin was CNP’s executive director from 2000 to 2008.[11] Conservative attorney Cleta Mitchell sits on the board of governors for the organization.[12]
You’ll notice Larry Pratt. And followed after him is Oliver North, who was a long time NRA director, and an NRA president. And North was Iran-Contra… Remember how Buz Mills is leading the NRA’s Nominating Committee down the DEI path with their paper “skills particularly desired”, being among other things “minorities” (I can’t type that without laughing.) https://2awhiterook.com/nra-nominating-committee-says-minorities-are-particularly-desired/
Why is this Council On National Policy so secretive? Duke said in ‘Big Jake’ (1971), “I hate secrets, ‘never knew one to be kept.” So why the secrecy?
All of this, begs the question I asked in a previous post, what the hell is a conservative? (Conserve)…. Conserve what? How do we “conserve”/”preserve” America with open borders? And don’t give me that bit about Trump securing the border and deporting illegal aliens, so what? That’s only half the problem. Once again, legal aliens, immigrants who get citizenship and vote, and vote the wrong way, because they have not, and will not assimilate, and “assimilate” is a nice of of saying, becoming American. If they won’t shed their old culture, and join ours, then how can we count on these people to vote 2A, regardless of how much DEI crap GOA and NRA throw at them? And they’re pouring in by the millions every year.
“Conserve”… We’re running out of things to “conserve”. Name me one area of American society that hasn’t been infected with Marxism of one sort or another? The schools, (government indoctrination camps) are turning out kids which can’t even read yet know there’s more than two genders… Colleges turning out young adults which don’t know jack about anything, except, to be Marxist activists. Business, charging full speed ahead down the woke path to ruin. Doctors, filling patients with poison and brainwashing them and mutilating their genitals. Where are the churches? I thought America was a Christian nation? And worst of all, the American family is dying out. What is culture, what is a nation, what is life, without the family? The family is the main line of resistance when it comes to evil ideas (Marxism) and chaos. Yet the family is dying. A severe lack of faith in God, and the fast disappearing family. “Conserve”? Conserve what?
How is it Denzel Washington, a Hollywood/Broadway actor and director is capable of understanding “It’s not color, it’s culture.”,
Yet, 2A groups can’t? I don’t know what Washington’s politics are, and I don’t care, but this raises a relevant point, a man from one of the bluest states in the country, New York, who lives in another of the bluest of the blue, California, gets it. Yet die hard “conservatives” don’t? Something’s wrong here.
Nothing we do, as a 2A movement matters, or any other “conservative” movement matters if we dilute our political power by voting for Republicants who are “pro 2A” and yet “pro immigration” and import millions of foreigners who refuse to join the American culture and to become true Americans, and when given the vote, they vote for commies. We’re losing our culture.
What’s the answer? America, for AMERICANS! No more cheap labor, no more easy Democrat (commie) voters, no more refugees. No more sorrow, no more sympathy for the world. Let it burn. End immigration. If you’re heart bleeds, let it bleed for YOUR DYING CULTURE! Stop being an armchair fudd. Stand up and call out the bullshit, both from the right and the left. Don’t vote (R) just because. Make sure you’re not voting for an open borders Republicant. Punish the Republicans who betray you. Support those who defend OUR Constitution.
The rich men north of Richmond … Now what are YOU gonna do about it? Time’s running out…
