Well written. And it certainly needs to be said. I find it discouraging how easily the racist manipulators in the lamestream press can destroy conservative reputations, even among Freepers.
One wrong word, and whoever they attack is finished.
Nonsense. What he said was perfectly true. LBJ and his Democrat Plantation, which broke up black families and perverted or destroyed their culture, is in many ways worse than slavery.
That is not to say that slavery is supportable or excusable. It merely points out how EVIL the Democrat manipulation of black culture has been.
It’s not accidental that the Democrats were, in fact, the chief supporters of slavery and Jim Crow laws—until they saw a way to enslave blacks and put them back on the plantation through political manipulation and misuse of taxpayer money.
And conservatives are dropping Cliven Bundy like a hot potato because he didn’t say this carefully enough, using the right language? Language which the Orwellian left is constantly changing, so as to trap the opposition?
What a load of horse manure.
Amen to that.
Was he right in what he said? I think so.
Was he right in saying it? Not strategically speaking. There was no upside to his comments, even if he had been heard absolutely correctly by sympathetic listeners - none.
In terms of winning his point and loosening the federal stranglehold on private citizens - it was a foolish thing to say; obviously incendiary with no chance of helping his case.
A caveat, if he was led into making the statement, I am more sympathetic.
What about the millions of “negroes” that ow their own businesses and the even more numerous poor whites on welfare? Why in the world would he pick out some blacks?
BUMP!
Conservatives are not dropping Cliven Bundy. Pretend conservatives may. Governmental Agents posing as Conservatives are. And others, professing to be Conservatives are. But, they were never Conservatives anyhow.
However we will get along nicely without them.
