I saw the first vid played on Morning Joe this morning about plantations and welfare and a slightly longer version of it on FNC today.
It immediately struck me as toxic.
For two weeks MSNBC has been saying those supporting Bundy are white supremacists, now Bundy hands them this gift to use to show people as evidence.
As expected those on FNC and Republicans ran like hell from this.
Its toxic and a gift to libs. Its blowing up your (our) own side and only helps the collectivists. Its like when Akins did the abortionists bidding.
Liberalism and Democrats have destroyed millions of black families.
It took the value and rewards of hard work and achievement away from them and trapped them in lives of poverty, crime and government dependency.
It took away their opportunities and replaced them with welfare government handouts.
Slavery to government is confused with compassion by those trapped by liberalism.
Conservatives offer you freedom. We offer you the rewards of personal achievement, not waiting for some fraud in Washington to save you. Join us if you feel trapped
See? That took me a few minutes to come up with. It doesn't have to be this way.
“...Its toxic and a gift to libs....”
Well, like Impy said, PR people exist for a reason, and, yes, maybe he should have been “wise as the serpent” in this regard - dealing with the media. Maybe he’s just naive in his own way and still thinks he’s dealing with Americans, rather than liberals.
But - agree with the man or disagree with him, I think it comes down to this:
If we let the other side define what we can and can’t say,
If we let the other side define what words we can and can’t use,
If we let the other side determine what thoughts we can and can’t think - then they’ve already won and there’s no sense even fighting anymore.
If we have to couch every damned word and sentence so as not to offend the perpetually offended - it’s like trying to box with one hand permanently tied behind you, and your feet in cement shoes.
Who the hell cares if they get offended - they’re offended by EVERYTHING we do, say, think, believe. F*** ‘em.
By letting them select what we CAN and CANNOT say, it gives them power over us. I reiterate - F*** ‘em.
It was the man’s opinion of a societal demographic, based on HIS personal observations, over the course of his life. He’s entitled to it, and has a right to express it.
And no matter what he said, it doesn’t excuse nor change the fact that FedThugzilla forcibly took his property at gunpoint and terrorized his family - which is what started this whole mess to begin with.
I won’t throw the guy under the bus (and I’m NOT implying that any of you are, either, so please don’t take it that way).
He inadvertently gave the other side an open door to change the discussion from their outright state-approved terrorism to his made-up crime-of-all-horrible-crimes - “racism”.
