Many of us have said that, if the revolution starts here, we’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with Cliven Bundy, but if we could choose a poster child for the cause, it would not be Cliven Bundy.
The grazing fees he paid for years and then quit paying were subsidized by the American taxpayer.
The guy says, and claims in his legal documents, that he’s not a citizen of the United States and that the United States ‘territory’ has no jurisdiction over him. He made other legal arguments that the majority of his supporters would not support.
The paramilitary response of the BLM was outrageous, and that’s kept people from focusing on Bundy and even what led to the confrontation between Bundy supporters and the BLM in the ‘tased’ video.
All things considered, I’m more offended by the BLM’s paramilitary response, but I’m no fan of Cliven Bundy.
Ah - the first FR poster who noted that Bundy claimed he was not a citizen of the United States was immediately met by a post that said, simply, “Go to hell!”
I agree with you.
