Ammon Bundy Quits Militia Movement in Solidarity With Migrant Caravan
NY Mag ^ | 12/8/2018 | Eric Levitz

...Bundy naturally just disavowed the militia movement in solidarity with the migrant caravan, suggested that nationalism is actually the opposite of patriotism, and said that Trump’s America resembles nothing so much as 1930s Germany.

Last week, Bundy posted a video to Facebook in which he criticized President Trump for demonizing the Central American migrants who were traveling in a caravan to seek asylum in the United States.

“To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done — you know, trying to speak respectfully — but he has basically called them all criminals and said they’re not coming in here,” Bundy observed. “What about individuals, those who have come for reasons of need for their families, you know, the fathers and mothers and children that come here and were willing to go through the process to apply for asylum so they can come into this country and benefit from not having to be oppressed continually?”

Bundy went on to observe that “faith is the opposite of fear” and that “we have been asked by God to help, to be welcoming, to assist strangers, to not vex them.” He also provided his viewers with a quick fact-check of the president’s claims that liberal billionaire George Soros had orchestrated the caravan, and that there were terrorists embedded among the migrants.

Bizarrely, the following that Bundy had amassed by threatening insurrectionary violence against Barack Obama’s government did not take kindly to his call for solidarity with the oppressed of Central America.

“It’s like being in a room full of people in here, trying to teach, and no one is listening,” Bundy told BuzzFeed News this week. “The vast majority seemed to hang on to what seemed like hate, and fear, and almost warmongering, and I don’t want to associate myself with warmongers.”

“Well, he’s a mormon. Mormons are for open border illegal alien anarchy”

Yup. That’s the real answer. In the end, he’s going along with the church hierarchy now: they have a lot of success converting Central Americans, and they want them to come to The Promised Land.

40 years ago Utah had about 10 Mexicans. It was a sea of white people. Now the West Valley is “majority-minority”.

Ammon is just being a good little garment boy.

He appears to be anti-government.

He is not opposed to some governments, he is opposed to all governments.

I used to work in a “majority-minority” community in SE Idaho. The illegal farm workers were being wooed by the Catholics and the Mormons. They just waited to see who came up with the most goodies for them.

Well, they ain’t stupid!

But it’s kind of a zero sum game, right? Eventually LDS welfare will run out of cash to bribe them with...then what?!

We all know: then it’s government welfare.

Also known as a subsidized welfare Rancher. They buy a small footprint, something like his 160 acre ranch, and then use public land is there personal pasture for pennies on the dollar. Meanwhile ranchers in Texas have to actually buy the land they graze on, and then pay a feedlot to finish the beef. Welfare Rancher, that’s all he is.

Bundy is slightly less nuts than that idiot Leroy Finicum who shot his mouth off but never his gun, despite his threats, and ended up committed suicide by cop.

So Bundy’s got that going for him.

So the welfare Rancher tore his mouth away from the government nipple long enough to tell us how anti-government he is?

Exactly.

And that was always the case with Bundy.

You get it.

They get used to seeing their name on the news. When that ends, some people will do anything to make it happen again

"He appears to be anti-government."
"He is not opposed to some governments, he is opposed to all governments."


But that's not why I said you were funny Sue. You made a much more general statement in your original post, didn't you? One that was, to put it mildly, quite foolish.

Sue: "If one is Anti-Government, you should expect them to be Anti-Government, no matter the government."

Nazi Germany vs just about any legitimate govt would be an example of your silliness, Sue. There are plenty more. Now do you understand why I think you're funny?

Never liked Bundy anyway and didn’t understand love for him on FR.

The Bundy’s are learning what others have learned in this
county beginning in 1492 when Columbus sailed the ocean
blue. The ones with the power rule whether it be by money,
law or otherwise.

Bundy, Jeff Flake, Mia Love, and Mitt Romney are all cut from the same cloth.
