....I’ll stand with 1010RD rather than a mob.....
Way I see it you will be on your knees not standing...
As Emiliano Zapata said “Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas. “
Put it in English friend. This is America.
As far as the kneeling goes I have never given up nor given in regardless of the cost of the fight. But the fight must be a worthy one and I would not chose to die on “Bundy’s Hill”. Twenty years and unfavorable court decisions, political corruption not withstanding, demands a clear and unemotional evaluation before committing to it. Flags unfurled and waving above the heads of an armed mob, comprised of well-meaning people, at best misguided, at least not fully informed, is not my idea of the way to go about dealing with the corrupt nor the socialists.
But before you cast aspersions on my character again be it known I volunteered to serve in the Marines for four years and served in country in Chu Lai, VN in ‘65-66. I didn’t kneel there either.
What you’re mixing up is the right cause, but the wrong hero. Does BLM or EPA or COE conspire with Watermelons to harm and alter the law. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act is being twisted out of shape. That doesn’t mean that Bundy’s cause is just or his case solid.
Other ranchers with similar theories have lost again and again in court. Bundy will lose and all the energy spent on him will be in vain. It’s great that the BLM armed response backed down. This will simmer and then the BLM will just win in court, lien his assets which will be allowed and directed by a court of law, and Bundy will be forced to pay at any sale or from his accounts in banks.
Let’s not get confused. We’re right, government is abusing. Cliven Bundy, though, is not the right hero for our cause.
