Rancher Cliven Bundy decided to lecture his supporters on slavery and the “negro” on Saturday. Media Matters posted the video:

Dude?

The Washington Post posted his comments:

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” he said. Mr. Bundy recalled driving past a public-housing project in North Las Vegas, “and in front of that government house the door was usually open and the older people and the kids — and there is always at least a half a dozen people sitting on the porch — they didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

The “big picture” is gone thanks to Bundy. Every time his situation is raised, the cries of racism will drowned out revelations of Reid’s land grab & subsequent enrichment. Politicians would much rather let Reid swim in corruption & ill gotten gains than be associated with a racist.

but it was an easy pitch for his enemies to hit.

We make it an easy pitch to hit because we flinch whenever they swing.

If we only could learn to go nose to nose with them and not blink when they pull this sh*t then their game would suddenly become a lot harder for them to win and a lot less fun.

Judging by the amount of wincing and blinking I saw today we're a long way off from that place.

He blew the whole gift placed right in his hands.....and in OUR hands.

Kinda like Paula Jones, one minute she's a victim of the rapist-in-chief, the next, she's buck-nekkid in Penthouse magazine.

The problem isnt that someone had a different opinion.
WHY is that a problem? Isn't the FR a place to air different opinions? Or is the problem when someone has a different opinion from yours....one that you DON'T like?

The problem is that someone has absolutely nothing to add to the conversation.
Are YOU now the arbiter of what is an "addition" to the conversation? My goodness, isn't that a bit arrogant of you?

The problem is when someone is only stirring up the waters.
I see. YOU don't like someone's opinion so THAT person is "stirring up the waters." Interesting philosophy. I guess no dissension is allowed in your home.

The worst that you can say about him then is that he is Old Fashioned. He isn’t “wired in” to the mainstream. IOWs he’s not some PC north eastern metrosexual and doesn’t even know what that is. lol

Bundy's remarks on "Negro" families were similar to ideas contained in "The Negro Family: The Case For National Action (the 1965 Moynihan Report) was written by Assistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a sociologist and later U.S. Senator." [Democrat]

Both expressed concern about the destruction of black families. "Negro" is now an archaic term, except from the mouths of the likes of Harry Reid.

From Wiki:
Moynihan's research of Labor Department data demonstrated that even as fewer people were unemployed, more people were joining the welfare rolls. These recipients were families with children but only one parent (almost invariably the mother). The laws at that time permitted such families to receive welfare payments in certain parts of the United States.

Moynihan's report[4] fueled a debate over the proper course for government to take with regard to the economic underclass, especially blacks. Critics on the left attacked it as "blaming the victim",[5] a slogan coined by psychologist William Ryan.[6] Some suggested that Moynihan was propagating the views of racists[7] because much of the press coverage of the report focused on the discussion of children being born out of wedlock. Despite Moynihan's warnings, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program included rules for payments only if the "Man [was] out of the house."[citation needed] Critics said that the nation was paying poor women to throw their husbands out of the house. Moynihan supported Richard Nixon's idea of a Guaranteed Annual Income (GAI). Daniel Patrick Moynihan had significant discussions concerning a Basic Income Guarantee with Russell B. Long and Louis O. Kelso.

If these were his lands and he paid like everyone else

The outline of this case is that the Feds have no right to 70 percent of Nevada or the other Western states. They swindled the West in ways the earlier states never had to endure.

But that's really a detail. If Bundy and his ancestors have been grazing cattle there for 150 years—most of that time "openly, notoriously, and without objection," as laws in most states have it—he's acquired an easement to keep doing it by right, about 10 times over. And since 150 years takes us to before Nevada was even a state, the Feds should be paying him, if they want to watch their turtles there, or whatever.

All Bundy stated was the basic theory that

If you give a man a fish,

he will soon be hungry,

but if you teach a man how to fish,

he will feed himself for life.

That rule works regardless of the race.

Oh, and by the way.

They will soon be hungry.

Have the solar project connections with The Reids been debunked, or is there something there?

...the cries of racism...

...from conservatives who should know better.

Nothing like hearing conservatives cheer on the opposing team.

What did it have to do with the land dispute? Nothing. Nada. The cameras were in his face, he was enjoying his 15 minutes of fame, and decided to show everyone what a sage he is on a variety of topics. And in the course of doing so, be blew the vast majority of the good will he had accumulated.

We’ve all seen his type before. The guy who has an opinion on everything and wants to make sure everyone in earshot gets to hear it.

The 9th circuit opinion is in error. Most states had the same language.

“So, slavery “might not have been that bad” huh? And you’re equating slavery with being in prison? Where one is a choice and one is not? Keep digging....”

Slavery is an atrocity. If anything were ever a settled issue, that’s gotta be it.

But is Mr. Bundy’s *hypothetical* statement really a crime of that magnitude? Even taken at face value, it is not a call for enslaving the negroes. It is mumbling and grumbling from a man who doesn’t think much of the slum-dwellers who don’t even try to work.

Know what? I don’t think much of them either, and wouldn’t if they were white and acting that way.

Mountains out of molehills. Tempests in teapots.

Diversity is where nations go to die, and PC is her flaming sword.

since when would we call the truth something insulting - I would prefer to refer to it as the truth, truth be told -

Sometimes truth hurts. Some people take great offense at that kind of truth, no matter how well-meaning it seems.

Why PTL, you wrote a funny! :o) :o)

You complain that no one is replying with substance to your posts but when someone does, and destroys all of your points with facts, you reply back with cotton candy nonsense. You are a troll.

No complaints from me. NOR do I whine, like you are doing.

You would know ALL about trolls, since YOU brought them up.

You are a whiner.

ANY white person who every deems to talk about, compare, or somehow question just how bad slavery was, is a complete and utter fool.

Oh brother.

In the Negro Family Daniel Patrick Moynihan said essentially the same thing rancher Bundy said in his non-Harvard educated way.

So the most you could fault Bundy for his crude diction.

Unless you believe Moynihan was also a complete and utter fool.
