Re: Bundy Ranch, BLM, Harry Reid and the Chinese

Black Marine says Clive Bundy is NOT a racist


The media distorts information to the point of social division. This is a photo of myself and the resilient, often charismatic, and maybe not so tactful Cliven Bundy. He’s a cowboy and a helluva family man, not an orator. One thing he definitely isn’t – a racist. I found his comments to not only be NOT racist, but his own view of his experiences.

Re: Bundy Ranch, BLM, Harry Reid and the Chinese

Now Cliven is fleshing out his point in a much more articulate manner. Good on him!


Cliven Bundy: I’m Standing Up to Bad and Unjust Laws, Just Like Rosa Parks - video embed

“What I am saying is that all we Americans are trading one form of slavery for another,” Bundy told TheBlaze in a statement. “All of us are in some measure slaves of the federal government. The IRS keeps the people of America in fear, and makes us all work about a third or a half of the year before we have earned enough to pay their taxes. This is nothing but slavery from January through May.”

[T]he government dole which many people in America are on, and have been for much of their lives, is dehumanizing and degrading,” he added. “It takes away incentive to work and self respect.”

“I am standing up against [the federal government’s] bad and unconstitutional laws, just like Rosa Parks did when she refused to sit in the back of the bus,” he said. “She started a revolution in America, the civil rights movement, which freed the black people from much of the oppression they were suffering.”

“I am doing the same thing Rosa Parks did — I am standing up against bad laws which dehumanize us and destroy our freedom. Just like the Minutemen at Lexington and Concord, we are saying no to an oppressive government which considers us to be slaves rather than free men,” he added.

"If I say ‘Negro’ or ‘black boy’ or ‘slave,’ if those people cannot take those kind of words and not be offensive, then Martin Luther King hasn’t got his job done yet,” he continued. “I should be able to say those things and they shouldn’t offend anybody. I didn’t mean to offend them.”

Full statement text. This is just so relevant to the issue at hand.

Bundy Statement

We are trading one form of slavery for another.

What I am saying is that all we Americans are trading one form of slavery for another.

All of us are in some measure slaves of the federal government. Through their oppressive tactics of telling the ranchers how many cows they can have on their land, and making that number too low to support a ranch, the BLM has driven every rancher in Clark County off the land, except me. The IRS keeps the people of America in fear, and makes us all work about a third or a half of the year before we have earned enough to pay their taxes. This is nothing but slavery from January through May. The NSA spies on us and collects our private phone calls and emails. And the government dole, which many people in America are on, and have been for much of their lives, is dehumanizing and degrading. It takes away incentive to work and self-respect. Eventually a person on the dole becomes a ward of the government, because his only source of income is a dole from the government. Once the government has you in that position, you are its slave. I am trying to keep Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream alive. He was praying for the day when he and his people would be free, and he could say I’m free, free at last, thank God I’m free at last!

But all of us here America, no matter our race, are having our freedom eroded and destroyed by the federal government because of its heavy-handed tactics. The BLM, the IRS, the NSA--all of the federal agencies are destroying our freedom. I am standing up against their bad and unconstitutional laws, just like Rosa Parks did when she refused to sit in the back of the bus. She started a revolution in America, the civil rights movement, which freed the black people from much of the oppression they were suffering. I'm saying Martin Luther King's dream was not that Rosa could take her rightful seat in the front of the bus, but his dream was that she could take any seat on the bus and I would be honored to sit beside her. I am doing the same thing Rosa Parks did--I am standing up against bad laws, which dehumanize us and destroy our freedom. Just like the Minutemen at Lexington and Concord, we are saying no to an oppressive government, which considers us to be slaves rather than free men. I invite all people in America to join in our peaceful revolution to regain our freedom. That is how America was started, and we need to keep that tradition alive.

Re: Bundy Ranch, BLM, Harry Reid and the Chinese

DEACE: American Left: Bundy is a racist, so that means property rights no longer exist

I’m not even going to address what Mr. Bundy allegedly said here, because that’s irrelevant. This is a clear attempt by the Left to change the subject. Instead of taking the bait, Texas Gov. Rick Perry got it right when he said Mr. Bundy’s comments here are a sideshow. Mr. Perry said the real issue here is private property rights, and he’s right. Kudos to Mr. Perry for not accepting the premise of the Left’s (phony) argument.

Re: Bundy Ranch, BLM, Harry Reid and the Chinese

Sorry people,I have a burr under my saddle! I hate injustice!

Good on Larry Elder. So proud of his boldness!!!

Bundy Saga: Media Whips Out The Race Card -- Even Hannity Falls For It - By Larry Elder


After the nitpicking, sorting through convoluted, inartfully articulated, politically incorrect language, what do we have left? The very same criticism that Hannity justifiably makes as a constant, central political theme: a large, ever-growing, intrusive, expensive government harms prosperity, creates dependency and destabilizes families. Economists Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams point out that during slavery a black child was more likely than today to live under the same roof with his biological mother and father. The welfare state has done to the nuclear, traditional black family what neither slavery nor Jim Crow could do.

"You've got hundreds of ranchers in Nevada who pay their fee regularly," said Tom Collins, a rancher on the Clark County Commission. "On the grazing fee issue, Bundy doesn't have sympathy from the ranchers."

Tom Collins, Clark County Commission - DEMOCRAT...... Think he better side with Reid? Uh, yes.

Quote:
Charges filed, police reports released in gun incident involving county commissioner

According to police reports released Wednesday morning, though, Collins also had been drinking alcoholic beverages and had admitted he had become mad at the tree and had fired gunshots into it and a nearby post.

Citing the need for consistency in the city’s stance on illegal gunfire, North Las Vegas City Attorney Jeffrey Barr on Wednesday charged Collins, 62, with one count of discharging a firearm within the city limits and one count of disturbing the peace. Barr announced the charges in a news release Wednesday morning.

Collins’ arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 24 in North Las Vegas Municipal Court.

It is a good video. Every Fox pundit walked away from Bundy and initially I was pretty angry about that. Mainly because it is a teachable moment lost out of fear. However, after reading the numerous comments online, I see why they did - people are so ridiculously obtuse, they won't listen. The only thing left to do was to throw Bundy under the bus. Funny, it's the serious and sane black people who are standing up for him - including his bodyguard.
