Bundy Responds To NYT, Defends "Slavery" Comments
The Right Scoop ^ | 4/24/2014 | Caleb Howe

"That's exactly what I said. I said I'm wondering if they're better off under government subsidy, and their young women are having the abortions and their young men are in jail, and their older women and their children are standing, sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do, you know, I'm wondering: Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves, and they was able to have their family structure together, and the chickens and garden, and the people had something to do? And so, in my mind I'm wondering, are they better off being slaves, in that sense, or better off being slaves to the United States government, in the sense of the subsidies. I'm wondering. That's what. And the statement was right. I am wondering."

The Bundy threads are really bringing out the liberal trolls.

They are falling in here like maggots off a dead skunk, names you never see much are having a troll reunion!

What a dummy. He should have known better than to talk like that. It’s very hard to defend him now.

I guaruntee we lose this regardless what you think. You like many FReepers are intelligent. The majority of Americans have been proven to be otherwise in 2 elections. He should have just stayed away from bringing race into this.

Did you actually read what he said in context, or are you just saying he’s a dummy because that’s what the media and leftards are saying?

I understand exactly what he's saying. He just doesn't have the proper words or context to explain it in a way that can't be twisted and distorted.

No such words or context exist when it comes to false accusers. Lies are their master craft. *Everything* can be twisted to say what they want it to say, in order to persecute whom they wish to persecute. Believing they are gods, they pride themselves on being able to create something out of nothing.

They do not want to understand the truth, and neither do their followers. Truth is something they are actively pursuing... as if it were prey. That's the character mark of the beast system.

John 14.6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Put that together with:

Rev 12.17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The testimony of... truth. Although indelicate and rough around the edges, Bundy's words "spoke truth to power." Well he's already a target of beast.gov, so he might as well blast them with a flamethrower of truth.

That's what the two witnesses do - the fire out of their mouths is the Word of God i.e. TRUTH.

Some of them are young, and this phrase really does apply to them: “I like you. You remind me of me when I was young and foolish.”

i.e. some of them do come around.

No he is a dummy because he lacks the common sense to not draw parallels of slavery and race to a states rights land issue. How stupid does one have to be to not invoke race into an issue having absolutely nothing to do with race?

The problem is Bundy has a damn lot of liberal enemies and they will misinterpret anything he says. I’m wonder too, which is better, to be a slave with something to do or being a slave to government with nothing to do. He is going to have to be very careful what he says because the left is out to destroy him.

Yes, I read what he said - he should NEVER have brought race into a fight like this - it is too important an issue to cloud it with remarks like that.

Now look what he’s done to his own credibility - not that the left thought he was right anyway but now - oh boy, he will not be taken seriously on the VERY IMPORTANT issue at hand.

We are at war with government take over - that’s so important. The race side junk just screwed it all up.

He didn’t bring race. Someone who knew what they were doing baited him like they baited Phil Robertson.

Couldn't have said it better myself! :)

Who boy. Hard one to live up to.

I am a romantic about Western land. To wit, I give you Palmer, Wyoming. The land leading up to it was part of the Hole in the Wall gang’s hide out network. The land there— or in places where you can hear thunder roll down canyons like stories of Paul Bunyan’s barrels—looks and smells of a vast freedom whose throttling we are witnessing.

I passed through a town in S. Dakota that had an auction going on—at a hardware store that had outfitted pioneers. It had been open since those days and had all manner of things.

I have also been fortunate to see wagon ruts from long ago. On the prairie.

These things are at stake. The Bundy situation reminds me of seeing the occasional cow that wanders off open range. On a highway. You stop up ahead and tell the first person you see about it, who promptly goes to see about the cow.

These images of leather and rope, of the smells and feelings of the West, are part of our heritage. These are to be turned into refuges for insects and reptiles? Solar farms littered like cement sun lasers? Stripped of human presence for the sake of human greed?

I guess we’ll see. He may lose some support, but he may gain some too.

Depends on if anyone bothers to report on the full import of his statements.

Right now, it’s just the usual suspects doing their thing.

Because there are more words and they mean less I guess?
