Communism was growing in central america

Liberals in congress cut funding to those fighting the commies

backroom deals were made to fund anti-commie warriors

congress and the liberal media found out and Colonel North took the fall

DALLAS – Lt. Colonel Oliver North, USMC (Ret.) will become President of the National Rifle Association of America within a few weeks, a process the NRA Board of Directors initiated this morning.

“This is the most exciting news for our members since Charlton Heston became President of our Association,” said NRA Executive Vice President and CEO Wayne LaPierre.  “Oliver North is a legendary warrior for American freedom, a gifted communicator and skilled leader.  In these times, I can think of no one better suited to serve as our President.”
Does the NRA president actually have any power? Does this really matter?

The same country that he sold the missiles to, funded and supported hezbollah.

They kidnapped and murdered this Marine.

"On February 17, 1988, Higgins disappeared while serving as the Chief, Observer Group Lebanon and Senior Military Observer, United Nations Military Observer Group, United Nations Truce Supervision Organization. Higgins was driving alone on the coastal highway between Tyre and Naqoura in southern Lebanon, returning from a meeting with a local leader of the Amal movement, when he was pulled from his vehicle by armed men who it is suspected were affiliated with Hezbollah.[1][2][3] During his captivity, he was interrogated and tortured.[1]"

He was integral in conceiving and executing the sale of anti tank and aircraft missiles to Iranian dissidents and transferring the proceeds to rebels in Nicaragua. That second part was specifically against Federal Law written by Congress concerning Nicaragua, and perhaps larger a violation of Constitutional provisions which prevent the Executive from going to war independently in both cases. The destruction of evidence and lying to Congress came after all of that.

The idea that he's put at the top of a Conservative organization is just another self-inflicted wound. And of course some people will defend him no doubt even though it's clear as day what he did.

Rex 84, short for Readiness Exercise 1984, was a classified scenario and drill developed by the United States federal government to detain large numbers of United States citizens deemed to be "national security threats", in the event that the President declared a "State of National Emergency". The plan was first revealed in detail in a major daily newspaper by reporter Alfonso Chardy in the July 5, 1987 edition of the Miami Herald. Possible reasons for such a roundup were reported to be widespread opposition to a U.S. military invasion abroad, such as if the United States were to directly invade Central America.[1][2][3] To combat what the government perceived as "subversive activities", the plan also authorized the military to direct ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels, according to Professor Diana Reynolds.[4]

Hooray, *more* insider Republican party officials connected to CPAC, and old military brass ones who served anti-gun Republican Presidents at that.  Hooray...

As the NRA gets more co-opted, the GOP becomes more anti-gun, and gets the NRA to smooth things over with the "second amendment people" for donations & elections.  Expect more and more talk of non-gun issues, and moderation of actual gun issues, as the NRA morphs into an official organ of the GOP, much like the once-respectable ACLU is to the DNC.

The guy who 'edged out' Adam Kraut in a highly suspect board election a few days ago also had CPAC connections IIRC

Google won't turn up anything about North's stance on various important gun topics, which tells me everything about his supposed value as an advocate for gun owners.

The enemy within is calling the shots

Edit- he spoke out against the UN arms proliferation treaty.  That figures, even if the treaty is BS.  That's the only advocacy Incan easily find.

I was still in college when the leftists in the news and even on campus became unraveled over Lt Col. Oliver North telling Congress to eat shit.  It was beautiful.

I later met him in 2006 when he was on a book tour in J-Action-Ville NC.  I was proud to shake his hand-he's a great American.  Most of us appreciated everything he did to bring about the fall of the Ortega regime in Nicaragua by funding the Contras (who were fighting the Sandinistas) and thus push back against Soviet expansion into Latin America during the Cold War.  This, despite the Reds in the US Congress who did everything to undermine President Reagan's foreign policy of containing communism in the western hemisphere and who were sympathetic to Ortega and his leftist, pro-USSR gov't.

Added bonus:  IIRC Lt Col. North facilitated the sale of US weapons to Iran in an effort to gain release of American hostages in the ME.  Those same weapons were used to kill Iraqis in their 8 year slaughter with the Iranians.  This, while we gave intel to Iraq so they could slay the persians more efficiently.  More dead arabs and persians all around.  Now, who doesn't get wood thinking about the way he smote two (types of) muslims with one stone in a manner which furthered our interests both in the ME and in Latin America?  The man was the epitome of what being a true American really is.

Anyway, if the Contras murdered a leftists priest here and there because they were aiding the communist Sandinistas, then who the fuck cares unless you're a filthy communist?  Fuck them.

For any of you haters out there, I hope this makes you so angry you piss all over yourself.

Yea, because Lt Col. North isn't on board with aiding our one true ally in the region.



I can support selling outdated weapons to Iran to kill their fellow muslims for eight years.  Keeps them busy while Israel receives the advanced military aid from the United States to defeat either (ETA: Iran or Iraq).

The administration was attempting to gain favor with the more "moderate" leftover elements from the Shah's regime still within the Iranian gov't.  At the time, it had only been a few years since Iran was considered "the 51st state" by much of the world.  So it didn't work.  Are you crying over dead muslims now?

Furthermore, I know you think you're being exceptionally bright by bashing the NRA but in reality, you're a simple malcontent with little to offer just the rest of your fellow travelers.  5,000,000 members aligned against the radical leftists that want to disarm you, and you choose to feed your fragile ego by throwing a tantrum over a stupid statement that didn't really say anything.  Here's a reality check for you:  The NRA hasn't called for a "ban" on anything, and they're the only thing standing between being able to enjoy the freedoms we do now, or looking at airsoft as our next legal option to owning something that looks like a firearm.

You disgust me.

That coupled with Kraut's inexplicable and unexpected defeat at the ballot box...I think the NRA's on the way out, to live out the remainder of time as a mediocre vestigial organ of the RNC.  Reform seems impossible.

However, without a convincing "800lb gorilla" guilt tripping amd brow beating everyone in the room, maybe some of the *actual* advocacy groups like SAF or (even) GOA can finally get some sunlight to grow on and come into their own.

It needs to be reiterated that the NRA has a large amount of "original sin" in its founding, as far as having little to nothing to do with Everyman Joe's gun rights, and everything to do with the country club.  We have swayed it a good ways from that path, but the tendency has consistently been toward elitism, with a side of creeping disarmament.

Furthermore, I know you think you're being exceptionally bright by bashing the NRA but in reality, you're a simple malcontent with little to offer just the rest of your fellow travelers.  5,000,000 members aligned against the radical leftists that want to disarm you, and you choose to feed your fragile ego by throwing a tantrum over a stupid statement that didn't really say anything.  Here's a reality check for you:  The NRA hasn't called for a "ban" on anything, and they're the only thing standing between being able to enjoy the freedoms we do now, or looking at airsoft as our next legal option to owning something that looks like a firearm.

You disgust me.
"Outdated" that system wasn't outdated in 1988.

"Are you crying over dead muslims now?" Ah, why would I?

"you're a simple malcontent" you are gullible and I pity you.

"5,000,000 members aligned against the radical leftists" LoL, look up Wayne's net worth. That is your NRA money at work.
*TOW ATGMS and HAWK missiles were hardly cutting edge in 1988.  You know who deployed a HAWK battery a few years later during Desert Shield?  The Germans.  In Turkey (before they mutinied, that is).  That's it.  The HAWK missile system was so current at the time, the US deployed Patriot SAMs to SWA and Israel instead.  Trust me when I say the Israelis weren't in any danger.  ETA:  And I never saw a HAWK battery anywhere over there.

*The TOW missile system that was LOS only was made obsolescent by TOW2B, which could defeat armor with reactive tiles.  I have seen no information that indicates we sold the Iranians the more advanced version.  Regardless, I don't care.  Israel wasn't going to be defeated by the Iranians with 2,500 more TOW missiles on a second front while they simultaneously fought Saddam's Iraqi Army.

*No, you're simple.  Period.  If you can't see that the NRA is the national-level organization that UK and Australian gun owners wished they had to lobby on their behalf before their guns were outlawed and confiscated, then it's you who is truly gullible.  Nobody said the NRA was perfect, or that it didn't need fresh management, but I haven't seen any new AWBs leave committee, either.  Maybe you can point out an example to me.  Go ahead.  Change my mind, oh Enlightened One.

*I'm sorry you're jealous of WLP's compensation.  Personally I don't care as long as I'm seeing a good faith effort on their part to put pressure on Congress to NOT let new gun control bills out of committee for a vote on the floors of either chamber.  I guess class envy is a thing here in GD, though.

During her campaign, Killery named the NRA her #1 political enemy.  Enough said.

So the NRA will have a president that sold arms to Muslim terrorists.

They can eat a dick.

Total irony.  North did almost exactly the same thing Hillary did; backroom deals to sell missiles to foreign goons against the will of congress (i.e. high treason) under wink/nod orders from the president, and everyone involved likely pocketed some amount of the 'invisible' money along the way for their trouble.

Contras = Syrian Rebels
Cocaine =  Opium
TOW missiles = Stinger missiles
Iranians = Libyan Muslim Brotherhood (i.e. Iranians)

Yea, because Lt Col. North isn't on board with aiding our one true ally in the region.

So, you're saying that circumventing a leftist Congress controlled by dimocRats sympathetic to the USSR in order to contain and eradicate communism on the southern border of mexico is high treason?

Do I understand you correctly?

If so, I can't fucking believe what I just read.

No wonder take the guns first, due process second is sweeping the nation. It's a time-honored tradition - whatever it takes to meet goals. Fuck the law when it becomes a hinderance to meeting objectives.

BTW - how'd he do eradicating that communism? Seems to have spread like napalm fire on an oil field since. Where does the credibility come from?
