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

Posted on 12/08/2018 8:47:02 AM PST by conservative98

...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.”

Are you sure?

What do you know about the BLM?

I’d say Bundy is right in the general sense.

If you ever wish to catch up to reality, just check with Pete Santilli.

So, family ranching is all circus to you?


Don’t be so clueless.

My point is that if he’s for illegals coming here, he should have no objection with them all living near him on his family’s 160 acres.

If he thinks we should take them all in, I would like to see him step up first by taking a few hundred in. He might not be so pro-illegal then.

You really have no point.

Bundy has been through hell on this, totally unlawfully.

He is likely far more reasoned on this than you would be if places were exchanged.

“The labor to run the ranch has been 100% US citizens, mostly family.”

You know this how?

Yes I’m sure;

“The time we find ourselves in now that is closest found in history is Germany in the 1930s, and they had a leader that was loved, and it was the same kind of following,” he said.

He said it. And that is nuts.

This hurts, it’s like finding out that Superman was weak minded enough to be turned against good (I don’t think he is).

People aren’t seeing the dangers of giving into “a group of whatevers” when they are forcefully administering their will.

True, there may be some innocents in that caravan, but would true innocents want to be branded along side of these criminals trying to invade another country?

I wouldn’t want to be associated with them in any way shape or form.

Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, and Amon Bundy all share something that can account for their disdain for Trump combined with their love for illegal aliens. And that’s Mormonism.

The Mormon belief that the indigenous people of the Americas are the ‘lost tribes of Israel’ is at the root of this.

Of course you were not interested.

I did not mention Bundy’s rights, pro or con. As far as I am concerned, he has the same rights as anyone else.

Unfortunately, it is not ‘nuts,’ it is chillingly close to perfectly correct.

There are millions that have come to feel that Trump is not doing enough. I don’t have access to enough real info to even judge him, but that doesn’t mean that the idea isn’t growing among the less patient.

Get your head out of the sand and learn.

At the very least you regularly patronize businesses that hire illegals.

Not knowingly, I don't.

“nationalism is actually the opposite of patriotism”

It’s actually worse than we thought. Bundy has gone full French socialist.

“The borders thing is just emotions.”

Borders are emotional?
