NRA Knows Guns and Corruption (6-24-10)

Hi, this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...

The National Rifle Association is one of the most powerful lobby groups in Washington. With 3.5 million members, a staff of over 550, and a budget of 120 million, it's also a self-serving bureaucracy. The mission of the NRA is to protect the second amendment right to bear arms, and to promote safe, responsible, and competent use of firearms. Conservative thinkers will find no fault with those agendas, but the NRA's unstated mission might offer pause. With time, one trait becomes job one to all bureaucracies - self-protection. It seems that the Democrat's campaign-finance bill was resisted by the NRA until they received a special exemption. NC Congressman Heath Shuler cited the good faith history and service of the NRA as justification for his amendment - an argument applicable to a house of prostitution as surely as a political lobby. If a bill has to indulge special interests before it's passed, you can bet it's designed to indulge even more after it's passed. It's clear the NRA did not receive exemption from Washington's corruption...

Talking Head Theater (9-3-10)

Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...

Though the conservative movement is blessed with some brilliant voices, it might be time for a drug screen on the studio water coolers. Some of the sharpest minds in the business are increasingly demonstrating behaviors typical to histrionic psychiatric patients. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coutler can blow away the left with their wit and wisdom. More and more they seem to be trying to blow up their polls. Who the heck cares whose number 1? What conservatives care about is cognitively correct perspectives on social, governmental, religious, and other matters that bring us closer to truth. Slapstick comedy, head banger music, and juvenile presentations distract from and damage the essence of the discussion. Leave the polls, slapstick, and hysterics to the guys who are best at it - the leftheaded talking heads. Our important conservative voices need to get back on track with their compelling dedication to reality, reason, responsibility, and right. As has been proven, the polls will then take care of themselves...
