NRA Convention, Part III (where I consume Adult Beverages, Kentucky Limestone Bibb Lettuce with Spiced Walnuts, and hobnob with the Glitterati)
Well, in defense of the Bibb Lettuce, there were several thousand souls on hand for this banquet. Quite a task to feed and satisfy all of these bitter Americans, clinging to our guns and our conservative politics (and there was a prayer as well, can you believe that?) But I’ll tell you this… we were the NRA. There’s some good people who came together in Louisville for this Celebration of American Values Banquet. Good people with the core values that are needed more than ever today, at this strange time in our country’s history, where so many phenomena seem to be directing us towards a perfect storm, one that will surely try this nation as it’s never been tried before.
[Abbreviated post…only one photo. The rest here.]
Glenn Beck gave the primary speech (sorry, the address). This guy has it going on, folks. Polished, intelligent, independent, not afraid to challenge anyone in our government, in either party. He laid the wood to all of our elected (elitists) politicians, for turning their backs on America as we knew it. Fear for our republic, for our Constitution; that’s a slim document and a thin veneer that keeps us from becoming just another sorry socialist state. There’s signs everywhere, if we would pay attention.
Look closely at this picture…post-address, note the unusual finger placement (middle and index fingers) and that…cumberbund. The gentleman on the left is David A. Keene, 2nd Vice President of the Association.

Also speaking was Bobby Jindal.
Bobby Jindal will probably be President within 25 years or so.
Bobby Jindal, Conservative Governor of Louisiana, received the Harlon B. Carter Award for his post-Katrina pro-gun legislation, the “Disaster Recovery Personal Protection Act” (H.R. 5013) introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives last year. This legislation later passed the Senate, and was signed into law by President George Bush. No need to fear the U.S. Government or it’s agents seizing guns from law-abiding citizens after a natural disaster.
Rising star, indeed.
