I understand what you’re saying, but you have just expanded the fight (and diluted your strength) to the point of meaninglessness.
But you all go ahead, fight an ever expanding war, and leave the winnable battle for us “small” thinkers.
And don’t forget to excoriate the folks who prefer to stay focused and not try to do everything at once.
BTW - how has this new front worked out for Bundy so far?
Bundy is still alive.
That's better than it has worked out for others.
As long as he is news, he will likely stay alive.
What you don't get is that the Federal tactic is one of isolation and elimination. Bundy has not been isolated unless those who recognize what is going on leave. If you want to leave, remember what Sam Adams said, and go.
Bundy also understands a lone rancher, even with his family and a few thousand supporters isn't going to be able to change things. He understands that unless people --and a lot of them-- recognize that the Federal overreach goes far beyond one rancher in Nevada, he is going to be eliminated--so he pointed out the largest group, being done the greatest harm, at the expense of the most people in hopes (perhaps) of getting a wider base of support.
Well, we see what happened. The enemedia played the dog-eared racism card, the pundits scattered, and people all over are decrying Bundy for touching on the unspeakable subject, even though they had to edit his remarks to make him look like he might be racist so they could fling the label at him.
Understand? NO, I don't think so.
You are one of the ones with your panties screwed up because it might look like Bundy made a racist remark and now you can't support him. You are all hung up on appearances and not on substance, and in a world where appearances are what the media slaps up on the news or misquotes in print, the media can change those at will.
That is EXACTLY what the enemies of freedom want. They WANT people to run from the issue of how LBJ and the Democrats put a significant portion of a demographic back on the plantation.
They want the taxpayers to look away, even barely a week since tax day, and not see how the trillions they have contributed has gone to the destruction of the family--how instead of John Boy and the Waltons, the poor in this family have become da hood, bastardy, and mayhem, and the taxpayers gladly won't look, because with the excuse that it is racist to do so, they can ignore the destruction, safe in the illusion that the 'poor' are taken care of by the Government, that their tax money goes for something good.
With the guidance of the MSM, they will flee back to the comfort of their own chains and ignore the disquiet that comes from standing on the brink of realizing that things are not as they should be.
Instead of bearing the standard, those content to settle for the meme flee the flag.
Instead of saying, YES! this is the largest group in Federal Bondage (next to the taxpayer), they'll howl that he had the temerity to point it out.
The man is trying to stay alive. Like most of the Cowboys I have known, he is probably shocked by the number of people who would cut and run from the issue: Federal overreach-- especially when he brings up the most glaring example.
Yet the pansy pundits and summer soldiers tiptoe around that same issue and would let Bundy be thrown to the wolves.
What winnable battle? What issue is small enough to win and yet large enough to demand the Government change? What issue affects enough people to have gravitas, but not enough to be too big? It isn't grazing rights, because most of the people will say "they came for the cattle ranchers, but I wasn't one of those..."
The BLM will be back at the Bundy Ranch--that's guaranteed-- if they aren't pooping and snooping in the hills already. When you and others like you let the demonization proceed, they'll make their move. It'll be tragic: a fire, a 'gas explosion', whatever, and the people who perpetrate it will investigate it and tell us what a tragedy it was.
To win, to stop the Government from seizing land, giving private property away (Riverton, Wyoming), and other outrageous excesses, will take millions of people, not just the handful there, and Bundy pointing out that despite the illusion of 'freedom', we are all slaves to the Government, should be the standard to bear, even as we focus on this small fight.
Instead, you run from the colors to await a smaller battle instead of try to rally support for the larger fight coming.
If you play along with the agitprop and let Bundy be marginalized, rather than focus while he tries to wake people up, the only question is one of who will be next?
