It comes as no surprise that the National Rifle Association is being targeted, yet again, from the Left. But in their ideological bigotry, these Progressives reveal themselves to be giant hypocrites.

What purpose does the NRA serve? To protect our rights to bear arms. You may not like that right, but it is indisputable. Yet the Left hates the NRA, with one survivor of the Parkland shooting claiming, irresponsibly, that they’re a “terrorist organization” responsible for murder. (Side note: the Left claims “speech is violence” and targets on districts – not people – threaten people’s lives, yet billboards vandalized to say “Kill the NRA” is somehow not a direct threat)

The Left’s view of Planned Parenthood? It’s a heroic organization that stands up for women’s right to choose. They are, in fact, an organization that serves to protect our right to abortions. In other words: Planned Parenthood and the NRA serve the exact same function — protect rights as they perceive them. One major difference, though, is that Planned Parenthood receives $500 million dollars from citizens who want nothing to do with them. That’s fairness to the Left.

And yet, the Left treats both groups differently.

Why the disparate treatment? Bullies on the Left do not like it when people disagree with them so they will shame and castigate any organization that takes a position that conflicts with their own. Likewise, you can’t, on the Right, call Planned Parenthood an organization of “baby killers” but then defend the NRA or any other organization you happen to support.

You can’t have it both ways, even if ideologues wish basic rules of logic wouldn’t apply to them.
