Krugman: NRA an ´insane
organization´

Politico, by MACKENZIE WEINGER

Original Article

Posted By:James Leyva, 2/4/2013 11:15:48 AM

The current debate over guns has revealed the National Rifle Association as an “insane organization,” Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman said on Sunday. The New York Times columnist said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday political roundtable that some pro-gun advocates “have this vision we’re living in a ‘Mad Max’ movie.”

That beady eyed little liar who finds it amusing to hang political opponents in efigy would know insane.

Krugman is not a neutral, competent commentator on the subject of sanity.

Krugman gets way too much press.

Seriously - Krugman commenting on ´insanity´ is a bit like a rabid dog commenting on dental hygiene...

Never a dull moment. I grew up in NYC. Guns were illegal there, and I can´t count the number of guns I saw in Manhattan.

Curiously - liberals can´t seem to get a handle on how stupid they are in this area. No law of *any* kind - will deter a criminal. Tip to Paul - that´s why they´re known as criminals.

Elsewhere, there are actually people known as ´journalists´. Krugman jumped that shark some time ago...

This a man who supports abortion - millions are killed. So, who is exactly insane?

Let these progressive, liberal, socialists,
Democrats rant. Gun owners will not vote for these nuts for a host of reasons.

insanity is, Paul, doing the same thing over and over (like deficit spending w.o results) and expecting a different outcome.

If Paul would walk down the street in S. Chicago, he would find out where some of us are.

Curious, so this means he is saying the Harry Reid is insane (he´s an NRA member if I recall correctly).

The NRA should send him a thank you note, that stupid statement should be worth another half million new NRA members. If I were not already a member, I´d be signing up today if for no other reason than to irritate that baboon. I might consider starting a new membership in his name just for fun!

Typical liberal tripe. So the NRA, which has over 4 million dues-paying members (grassroots organization if ever there was one) is ´an insane organization´ but Krugman (one man - hopefully one vote), who has been wrong almost every time he opens his mouth is sane? Typical.

The Krugmans of this world have created the coming "Mad Max" scenario that they fear so much.

It´s not the NRA that feels the need to alter the language,corrupt the culture, suppress free speech, debase the currency and borrow our children into oblivion.

But should that scorched earth,post apocalyptic world come to America I plan to have a bigger and faster and louder dune buggy than Paul.

I am a member of the NRA and basically, part of the organization. I am not insane, but, maybe according to a liberal and the media, I am because I support the Constitution. It has held us in good stead over almost 250 years. Until the current administration and its media friends who are trying to negate it came along, it has served us well.


Reply 16 - Posted by: coldoc, 2/4/2013 12:41:04 PM     (No. 9157694)

The NRA should buy the NYT´s and retire this metrosexual ignoramus.

Well, there you have it, and straight from the mouth of someone who knows.

Krugman calling the NRA insane is like Obama calling Romney a liar.

NRA membership will triple with Krugman as an adversary. The NRA should add Krugman´s picture to their membership drives.

I usually don´t, but on this particular issue I find Mr. Krugman to be extremely persuasive. So I joined the NRA.


Reply 22 - Posted by: dvc, 2/4/2013 1:45:41 PM     (No. 9157842)

The NRA is a civil rights organization.
Krugman, delusional as always, and his ilk are doing their incompetent, irrational best to make a Mad Max scenario actually come to fruition.

The concept that police actually have a duty to make you safe as an individual has been litigated repeatedly and refuted.

FACT: You, individually, have exactly as much security as you bring with you, and no more. The police provide an investigative capability to try to catch crimials AFTER the crime, and general peace keeping. This is not a complaint about police, just a recognition of how the world really works. Sometimes they do arrive in time to stop a crime, but it is sadly, unusual.

Krugman lives on another planet, in addition the fact that he is delusional.

Mackenzie Weinger? Paul Krugman? In a sane world, these two know-nothing idiots would be mocked, ridiculed, and laughed at by everyone. But we live in upside-down bizarro world where jerks like these two worship choom-boy Barry Soetoro for his skeet-shooting and his curtain-hanging.
The NYTimes is a cesspool of queer writers and columnists who seem bent on changing everything traditional and weakening our nation and our resolve, and to that purpose I must say to them...SCREW YOU!

LOCK AND LOAD......RACK IT!

It was that every time I saw Krugman´s portrait all I could see and hear was "Hamster Dance"; now the mere mention of his last name or seeing it in print fosters the same reaction.

John Kerry has prompted a Gallic shrug by refusing to speak French at his maiden news conference as US Secretary of State. Asked to answer a question with a "bit of French please", he said: "Not today. I got to refresh myself on that." The response surprised some in the francophone world as Mr Kerry attended a Swiss boarding school and is known to speak the language well.

Fidel Castro has made a rare public appearance after he voted in the country´s parliamentary elections. Millions of Cubans joined the 86-year-old former leader of Cuba to vote in what critics have branded a ´closed´ election that offers no real competition. The revolutionary icon, who appears in public only occasionally now since he fell ill in 2006, was among those voting in Havana yesterday. The government has defended. the process, saying it is a show of grass-roots democracy.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home.

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —
