Mr. Bundy’s comparison appeared to be triggered when he drove by the welfare family, but he didn’t just talk about them.

Mr. Bundy: “I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro.”

He prefaced the comment with a statement about “the Negro,” meaning the entire race. I actually doubt he was talking about all blacks, but he used words to that effect. Who knows? Maybe he really is a racist and thinks all blacks are inferior, but I don’t think his comments imply that.

I think his point was clear. Welfare dependency creates its own set of problems different from slavery. That doesn’t mean slavery is better. It means both slavery and welfare dependency are bad. Trying to decide which is better is like trying to decide whether it’s better to be murdered by a knife or a gun.

In Bundy's opinion, welfare slavery was worse than actual slavery--at least in terms of family values. In any event, this story is clearly a way to destroy Bundy personally and a distraction away from the fundamental issues re the government and the actions of the BLM.

What is disappointing is the Pavlovian reaction of people like Rand Paul and some FReepers who want to join in with the Left in destroying him.
