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.”

Ammon, your family has 160-acre ranch. I think you can take a few hundred of them. And they’re not to be used as cheap labor for you. They should come here and get on the welfare dime just like they do everywhere else.

Let’s see if the clown would agree to that.

Anyone in the U.S. can take their resources to another country to help those people. When you want to use other people’s resources to accomplish your goal, you are stepping on the rights of other. That is not patriotism.

No surprise.

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

Maybe we should put all the illegals on his leased land so they can shit on it, eat his cattle, and trash the place.

Brilliant solution, a legal use of Federal land by Executive Order, an unlimited supply of plaintiffs against anything Bundy would require his serious rethink of entitled illegals.

I'm sure Bundy could rely on plenty of help from law enforcement ...

snicker.

Ammon Bundy’s an extremist... that type easily flips. For all we know he’s been a paid Soros or SPLC plant all along.

He was against the BLM and 0bama over grazing rights for HIS cattle.

Now he’s against President Trump because he needs illegals to provide labor to run his ranch.

Ammon Bundy: always looking out for #1.

Why does this sound exactly what Beck did when he wanted to send teddy bears to the border?
Someone is paying these people off.

He has always said he was Anti-Government.

He has been consistent in his philosophy.

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

No matter the govt? No differences between any of them that could lead a person to support one while opposing another?

LOL You're funny. Not real smart, but funny.
