That is the point. Bundy just doesn't get it, and too many FRiends here are supporting slavery.
We are slaves. Look at everything you think is yours and don’t pay the tax or fee on it and see how fast YOUR STUFF is removed from you.
But slavery is what you’ll get if you’re lazy or not vigilant.
“That is the point. Bundy just doesn’t get it, and too many FRiends here are supporting slavery.”
You don’t get it, NOBODY is supporting slavery. The issue is the black culture under democrat rule is as bad off if not worse then it was under Democrat formal slavery.
Only a person with a dishonest agenda would twist what was said into supporting slavery.
Who here is supporting slavery??
He was inarticulate when asking the question; Individual slave-owners or the government as slave-owners? Are they better off where the government keeps them on the government plantation and destroys the family by doing so?
Your turn. Which is better?
1. Being a slave...to the massa.
2. Or being a slave...to the government and its stifling bureaucracy.
Note that both of Bundy's options are premised on being a slave...to somebody...or some institution.
I was not alive during the time of slavery and would not wish the condition on any man -- be it either of the above. And I'm certain Cliveden Bundy doesn't either.
But I was alive during the era of Jim Crow. And I often find myself asking the same question Bundy is asking. Life under Jim Crow was separate...and it was not equal. But it may well have been more equal than it is now.
Many southern cities had (or still have) a second downtown -- which had served as the center of black commerce. Banks, retail stores, hotels, supermarkets, restaurants, professional offices, stock brokerages, etc. I have seen them when they were in their prime -- bustling, even thriving, full of busy, outwardly happy people.
If there were such a thing as a Happiness Quotient, I would not be surprised if it was found that the average black's HQ was higher in 1955 than it will be in 2015.
The simple fact is that Democrat administrations from LBJ forward have done everything possible to a.) rend asunder the black family and make the race dependent upon their governmental policies, thereby b.) controlling the black vote and c.) exacerbating race relations, hoping to benefit from resentment and conflict.
Whatever chance at true freedom blacks may have gained from the Civil Rights Movement was snuffed out by LBJ's War on Poverty. And, as they voted for it, the Democrats were aware of exactly what kind of dependence it would engender. Ass't Sec'y of Labor's Daniel P. Moynihan wrote an analysis spelling out the consequences in detail.
On the other hand, has the black community benefitted from this situation and its political dependency? Are they happier now than in 1955? Or, even, in 1855?
Like Cliveden Bundy, I wonder, too...
Who? Acknowledging that the government dole is akin to slavery is not supporting it.
