Before we give him too much credit, I would like to see this Stern fellow take it one step further than ". . .and even developed a sense of appreciation for guns.", and challenge him to get his CCW permit where he lives, which is Washington D.C., WITHOUT him pulling out his "I've got connections." card. Let's see if he develops an appreciation of how absurdly difficult, expensive and time consuming it is for a law abiding citizen to simply exercise a 'Right' that is enshrined in our Constitution and BoR. __________ __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

It's a nice article and all...but I don't really see the point. Yay, he got a minor clue. He isn't the CEO of NPR anymore and the one who is, is just as libed out as he was. So, is this guy going to try and do something to influence the media? I guess the article is something at least... “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

He's written a book about his explorations in deepest, darkest America. Let us hope it makes the NYT best-seller's list and he becomes the rage of all the talk shows. God knows, the Left would never listen to someone who hasn't worked for NPR or PBS. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

On a related topic, I recently heard an interview with noted travel author Paul Theroux about his first domestic book Deep South. He spent a year driving around rural areas of the South, returning to the same areas each season, developing relationships. The initial interview sounded like another New Englander (Yankee as those in the South call them) author, on safari, trying to see what goes on and why in this backwoods part of the country; then overlay it with his own bias' and preconceptions. The interview instead gave an impression that this guy was genuinely making an attempt to get a snapshot of the South, why things are they way they are and take a sympathetic view instead of a paternalistic and patronizing view that many authors have portrayed of the South. He spoke admiringly of pride and emotion of the Southern states that other parts of the country don't have, the resiliency and pragmatism that seems to be a common virtue amongst Southerners. In any event, looking forward to picking this one up and giving it a read. | |||

Bad dog! |
I saw him on Hannity, and he said many good things about firearms-- not only hunting, but self-defense. Apparently he has been talking with John Lott. I sort of made fun of him earlier in this thread, but the left will turn on him viciously. It's what they do. He knows that. So it took some balls.... ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

I ordered the book. I plan on reading it and then gifting it to a NPR listening coworker  Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams “It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free." -Niccolo Machiavelli The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken | |||
