29. NRA and D'Cruz Oppose Democrats Openly
The D’Cruz case is certainly not a Democratic effort.

Here’s a list of pages that James D’Cruz Likes on Facebook:

FreedomWorks, Positively Republican!, Republican Governors Association, Anything About Guns, George W. Bush, Conservative, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Republican Party, Arkansas Carry, Rush Limbaugh, Republican National Committee, Coca-Cola, RightChange, National Rifle Association, Michele Bachmann, Lubbock County Republican Party, Baltgirls, Being Conservative

Then here are some quotes from D’Cruz’s Facebook Wall:

“Goodbye Nanncy babyeater Pelosi. You will not be missed.” – November 2

“When I am down, I just think about all the little chinese kids in sweat shops making me American Flags. Then I smile.” – October 19

“Ha ha screw you Obamacare” – March 25

“I don’t see why obama’s union address is a big deal, the idiot is on the air 24/7.” – January 27

D’Cruz could have gotten this stuff directly from NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. In the November 2010 issue of America’s First Freedom magazine, LaPierre wrote:

“I have never seen anything like the nightmare of ‘change’ the Obama administration and its allies in Congress have brought, or the distortion and dishonesty and outright lies that mark their governing strategy.”

The NRA, of course, has given 85% of its PAC money to Republicans since 1990:

As for Justices Scalia (who agreed with the NRA in the majority opinion in the D.C. v. Heller case) and Thomas (who wrote one of the majority opinions in McDonald v. Chicago), well, they might be Democrats when they’re not attending Koch Brothers meetings and helping to raise money for efforts to “combat” Obama Administration policies that “threaten to destroy America as we know it.”

But I strongly doubt it.
