Here in the GOC office, we are all aware of the high level of controversy that is brought about by the mere subject, and purpose, of our business. We do it because we believe in it; and most of the time, we get to engage with fellow believers in the Second Amendment. The phone calls and letters we get are oftentimes born out of frustration, defeat, and all too often lost hope. It's difficult when it feels like you are always losing; we know! However, when we get those phone calls, we have the opportunity to encourage our members and remind them of all the successes we have had! It's a chance for us to motivate their action and strengthen their passion for the cause ... and that is something that we have to keep doing, because hope is not lost!
(It's an ongoing fight that we must NOT give up on!)
Now occasionally, we encounter the opposite types of communication. The type that comes from the disgruntled left; the people that are angry that we exist. It can be infuriating! But I think the best way to look at it, is as entertainment. Their pure anger, criticism, judgement, and malicious accusations of our morality are really quite extravagant. I mean, don't we live in a world where we must be "tolerant" (to use a liberal buzz word)? Oh, ya ... I forgot. We are supposed to be tolerant of them ... not the other way around. How could I forget?
(note my sarcasm)
Check out this letter we got today (all the way from ENGLAND!). I will consider this one for the record book ...
we are frustrating the liberals in England, which means, our impact must be bigger than we thought!!
