“...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”.

Here ya go.

I Don't Care if Cliven Bundy is a Racist( Youtube ^ | 4/24/14 | Kira Davis )

Next we will be told by some to repeat ‘I am a racist too’ as a group chant.

This is definitely another path off a cliff.

There’s a very simple way to diffuse all this “you’re a racist” sh*t:

Come out and say: “There are worse things in this world to be besides a ‘racist’.”

Which is very true.

Even Khent said “F*** the race pimps.”
