“You do a lot of projecting there, snarkyboob.”
Nope. I just can see a bigger board.
This was a dumb way to fall for Mr. Bundy.
He was winning public opinion and he blew it.
You saying it shouldn’t matter doesn’t change the fact that the goodwill he had garnered is now gone.
There were a number of ways he could have expressed the very opinion without bringing race into it. Without it being offensive. He didn’t do that. There isn’t very much of a defense for what he actually did.
He could have said:
My family has been ranching here for over 100 years. I see the current trend of depending on government and I see the downside of that. I see young people with less opportunity and less freedom. I learned at an early age to be self reliant and that’s something I wish for all citizens.
More self reliance, more freedoms, more accountability. I’m an old cowboy, and that’s the cowboy code.
He didn’t say that...he brought up race.
What a dumbass.

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.
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.
