“Funny. What you say here is what Bundy is. Self reliant, and not depending on government. And wanting the heavy hand of gov’t out of his life. And pointing out the obvious, that blacks are on a Democrat Plantation, still depending on gov’t for freebies and handouts. Not all, but many, and voting 90 plus for their Masters, the Dems.
You should praise Bundy, not insult him. He is living what you claim to be. And calling it like he sees it, and is totally correct in what he said about Blacks, to boot. You must subscribe to the politically correct doctrine of what can and can’t be said.”

No. He lost as soon as he brought race into it.

“his idea or perfection of forfeit his support”

A little dyslexia in sentence above, lol. What I said about Snarky claiming to be what Bundy actually lives out, is exactly right. And you are exactly right also. Both of our comments are not mutually exclusive.

“Mr. Bundy is a private citizen who is perfectly entitled to give his opinion on a subject...he’s no politician and I still stand by what he represents in the grander scheme of things...the fight against not only an out of control government, but now leftists who are determined to besmirch and denigrate an otherwise honorable man...because he dared to stand up to those vermin in Washington.”

Good for you. Have fun storming the castle.

[He screwed the pooch by bringing race into it. Actually he screwed the pooch by getting off topic.

Sadly I now think he’s just a blowhard trying to hold on to his 15 minutes.]

I agree. He seems to love being in the spotlight....”just a rhinestone cowboy..I wanna be where the lights are shining on me”

Is he a politician Snarky?

Is there some reason that he is supposed to act like one?

Just what is it that you expect from anyone who speaks a opinion? Is there some sort of rule that he violated?

Can we not talk about race and the failures of decades of government policies and billions of dollars of tax moneys.

Or is that now off limits?

The question he posed, and he did not answer it because the answer is in the question, is simply this....

Are black families better off now, today, in Detroit, New Orleans, NYC, Chicago, and Atlanta or any other large city with a large black population, then when they were slaves?

The standards to use should regard all of the important things like family, work ethics, the drive and desire that your children have a better life than the parents did. Social structures, happiness, and general health and welfare.

The important American family things...

Are they better off now then they were then?

That is what he was asking.....and he would not have asked or said what he did if what he was seeing had not touched his heart and made him angry at the outcomes of all that time and government effort spent to do harm, and not good. And all done for political reasons...as you well know.

Well, you sure won’t be in the front lines. Bringing up the rear is more like it. “Leading from behind.” Hmmm, where did I hear that line before.

There are 3 times as many whites receiving government checks compared to blacks.

Which government checks do you mean, evidently not what we know of as welfare. What is that racist, black militant link you posted?

“Is he a politician Snarky?”

He chose to go before a national audience. The NYT.

“Just what is it that you expect from anyone who speaks a opinion? Is there some sort of rule that he violated?”

He sounded off in a way that comes off as racist. As I pointed out and demonstrated upthread, he could have said the same thing and never mentioned race.

“Are black families better off now, today, in Detroit, New Orleans, NYC, Chicago, and Atlanta or any other large city with a large black population, then when they were slaves?”

Really? Are they better off now than when they were in forced servitude? Sorry, that doesn’t even deserve an answer. Really?

“The standards to use should regard all of the important things like family, work ethics, the drive and desire that your children have a better life than the parents did. Social structures, happiness, and general health and welfare.
The important American family things...
Are they better off now then they were then?”

Right. And that should apply to all Americans not blacks or whites or yellows or what the hell ever. But he brought race into it. That was not smart.

That’s the best you can do lol.

No I hate that he’s screwed. Sadly, he mostly screwed himself.
You keep on cheerleading though.

I’m sure that’ll be some comfort to somebody somewhere.
And it’ll you’ll probably feel better.

Sorry there guy, but I refuse to call a loss a win and I refuse to paint a happy face on something that’s as big a GF as this turned into.
