"That's exactly what I said. I said I'm wondering if they're better off under government subsidy, and their young women are having the abortions and their young men are in jail, and their older women and their children are standing, sitting out on the cement porch without nothing to do, you know, I'm wondering: Are they happier now under this government subsidy system than they were when they were slaves, and they was able to have their family structure together, and the chickens and garden, and the people had something to do? And so, in my mind I'm wondering, are they better off being slaves, in that sense, or better off being slaves to the United States government, in the sense of the subsidies. I'm wondering. That's what. And the statement was right. I am wondering."

This is how the got-ya media works.
Keep your enemy talking.
Given enough time he will make a big mistake.

Notice that libs control the questions/answers so less chance of got-ya.

But slavery is what you’ll get if you’re lazy or not vigilant.

The media’s going to “shape” public opinion no matter what he says, even if he never says anything. It hardly changes things at all that they’re pounding on this issue.

Yea, remember when those poor ebt cardholders had a electronic kerfuffle and rioted in the Walmart a while back? Are they slaves to the ebt? I wonder.

No matter what people think of Alex Jones ideas; the man fights the Globalists every day. He understands the power of words; and stood up to Piers Morgan and changed the whole debate on Gun Control. Beck now discusts me. I always didn’t like his gushing for Ghandi and MLK. We must always take it to the Left and not back down.

I don’t care either what Bundy thinks about race. It’s irrelevant to the issue over his ranch.

See my tag line of many years...More diplomatic way to convey the same thought.

Stick a fork in Bundy, he is done. The Chinese solar farms are going to be up within a year. Regardless or whether or not what he said was factually correct he stupidly gave the Enemy all the rope they needed to hang him. Uncle Scam plays for keeps while this jerk Bundy is playing twiddle-winks.

How is that any different than what Phil Robinson from Duck Dynasty said a few months ago?

He’s not painting a “rosy picture”, he’s simply stating a simple fact...slaves had families, gardens, food.

Like Mr. Robertson said, slaves had God...they were a Godly people because they had faith, yet the left, like Mr. Bundy, have their panties in some serious twists because they think they have their “GOTCHA” moment.

The bigger issue is now going to get buried, an out of control USG willing to destroy a man’s livelihood and do so at the end of a gun barrel...Absolutely sickening.

Todd Akin. Actually in his case, he was repeating a talking point that a lot of people in the pro-life movement used to believe in the 70s and 80s. Evidently it had been thoroughly debunked since, but I didnt know that. I’m guessing that the interviewer was also hostile and deliberately trying to steer him into saying something embarrassing with gotcha questions. They succeeded. I thought that conservatives were a little hasty throwing him under the bus(how I hate that expression).
Of course political candidates who want a government paycheck and may be making policy need to be held to a higher standard than private citizens like Bundy.

“To praise the “family structure” that existed under slavery is ignorant at best.”

I wasn’t around during the time of slavery so I don’t know that much about their family structure back then.

However I can’t see how it could possibly be any better today. Heck, 80% of the black kids grow up today in families without a father! About the same number are born out of wedlock. The abortion rate for blacks is almost 50%.

There is no family structure for blacks by and large...

Good, it’s refreshing to for once see someone stand by what they said, instead of insulting our intelligence.

He’s no “jerk”.

And for you to call him that indicates to me which side you’re on...

I don’t know about that, but suspect its true of some of the “supporters” who went to the ranch.

Wont call him a jerk but will definitely state he lacks the common sense necessary to clearly articulate an argument. To invoke race into this not only proves to me how utterly clueless this guy is in the 20th century but is one of many conservatives who have daily....hello Mr. Foot I am Mr. Mouth moments

no...government dependency is a choice, slavery is not

Government dependency is a choice of many to become slaves of their government. For many others, they're aren't choices so they're dependent. That's the new slavery....some voluntary, some involuntary

And it's being fueled by the invasion of the US which takes away opportunities from the less fortunate.
