Not a bad choice, I had not heard he was even in the running. I am just a 2 year member so I have no clue what they are doing at NRA HQ.

I used to wonder "What the hell are they thinking". I've decided that
thinking must not really be a part of the process. What was wrong with Brownell? Did he seem like too much of an insider? If your going to pick a figurehead, don't pick one that half the world hates. wtf. Wasn't there an actor or a football player who could do this job? |

Terry Reed in his book Compromised, Clinton, Bush and the CIA was not exactly complimentary about North. Though the be honest, he appeared like a boy scout compared to some of the other players. His most unflatterying accounts were of "The Boy" Bill Clinton, a real pot smoking womanizing asshole. BTW, anyone who hasn't read the book, I highly recommend it. There is SO MUCH information in there that fills in the pieces left out by the media - which is about 90% of what actually happened during Iran-Contra. |

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. |

I remember watching him testify during the Iran-Contra hearings. While I thought it was pretty clear he didn't follow the letter of the law, I liked that North wasn't intimidated by the congressional hearings, and I think it really irritated the congresscritters because they knew he wasn't intimidated.

https://www.nrablog.com/articles/2018/5/lt-colonel-oliver-north-poised-to-become-nra-president/ 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.” |
