The man in the above YouTube video is named Jason Bullock. He is a is a six-year Army veteran who is out in Nevada and has volunteered to serve as one of Cliven Bundy's bodyguards.
As you can see, Jason Bullock is also a black American.
That's what he had to say about Cliven Bundy, early this week, after Bundy's remarks were widly reported, and when CNN interviewed Bullock and asked him if Cliven Bundy's remarks had offended him.
"No, not at all. Mr. Bundy is not a racist.
"Ever since I've been here, he's treated me with nothing but hospitality. He's pretty much treating me just like his own family.
"I would take a bullet for that man if need be. I look up to him just like I do my own grandfather. I believe in his cause and after having met Mr. Bundy, I have a really good feeling about him and I'm a pretty good judge of character."
The media distorts information to the point of social division. Above is a photo of myself and the resilient, often charismatic, and maybe not so tactful Cliven Bundy. Hes a cowboy and a helluva family man, not an orator.
One thing he definitely isnt a racist. I found his comments to not only be NOT racist, but his own view of his experiences. Who the heck are we to determine another mans perspective on the world around him?! Just because Picassos view of the world was abstract, does it negate the fact that his art was genuine?
Furthermore, if you take the time to do your own research, youll find that his statements about some black Americans actually hold weight. He posed a hypothetical question. He said, I wonder IF Hell, Im black and I often wonder about the same about the decline of the black family.
Bottom line is that we are all slaves in this waning republic, no matter our skin color. Mr. Bundy could have used any racial demographic as an example: Native Americans on reservations, whites in trailer parks, etc. He noticed the crippling effects of receiving government assistance and the long term result of accepting handouts.
Its not progress at all. I challenge Sean Hannity, Rand Paul, and others to read my comment and reconsider their position in this matter. Individual liberties are at stake here, yours and mine. THAT is the issue.
Dont let the liberal media and ignoramuses like Glenn Beck and that weasel Harry Reid make you lose sight of the real issue here: The federal government is a burgeoning behemoth and a bully on a once constitutional playground.I sincerely hope you real patriots out there who can see through the smoke.

Perhaps Cliven Bundy has what some may call a big wart on him. Again, so what? We all do.
That does not make him a racist, or a bigot in the least, despite what Bill OReilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and others may think or say. Those people have raitings and a lot of money riding on how they respond and what people think about their words...Cliven Bundy spoke straight...as best he could, and his underlying point is completely valid. And those two black veterans who know him, agree and stand by him. And one of those men feels so strongly about it, that he, a black US Army veteran, would take a bullet for the man. That carries a WHOLE lot more weight with me.
Clive Bundy chose his words poorly, but that doesn’t make him a racist. The NYT’s chose their words carefully in their effort to smear Mr. Bundy. They have egg on their faces.
The comparison doesn't hold because it is hyperbole. By msm rules, the left is allowed to use hyperbole, we are not.
You are correct about O’reilly. He was almost giddy when Mr. Bundy was attacked by the left wing media..He was patting himself on the back and saying, “I told you so!” I am a person who DVRs O’Reilly so that I can fast forward through his self admiration and his ad to himself at the end of The Factor. I don’t pursue Beck’s product anymore but I do like Shawn Hannity..I didn’t see what he said but it sounds like he jumped on the band wagon, too. Mr. Bundy is a country person and didn’t know exactly how to express his opinion to a vicious, put words into your mouth, media, out to get him from the get go, because they do not like the self-reliance being shown from him and his supporters. Dictators move quickly to nip that kind of thing in the bud. They desperately wanted to shift the focus to him from the thuggish behavior of the federal agents sent there to threaten him, Saul Alinsky style. I don’t see the American people eager to jump on that band wagon this time..Is this a turning point because so many are seeing what Obamacare is and so many have been persecuted by the IRS and the EPA already. Have enough Americans “heard the lion and seen the owl,” to turn around this push for totalitarianism? We shall see.
Excellent post.
