Ammon Bundy Quits Militia Movement in Solidarity With Migrant Caravan
NY Mag ^ | 12/8/2018 | Eric Levitz

...Bundy naturally just disavowed the militia movement in solidarity with the migrant caravan, suggested that nationalism is actually the opposite of patriotism, and said that Trump’s America resembles nothing so much as 1930s Germany.

Last week, Bundy posted a video to Facebook in which he criticized President Trump for demonizing the Central American migrants who were traveling in a caravan to seek asylum in the United States.

“To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done — you know, trying to speak respectfully — but he has basically called them all criminals and said they’re not coming in here,” Bundy observed. “What about individuals, those who have come for reasons of need for their families, you know, the fathers and mothers and children that come here and were willing to go through the process to apply for asylum so they can come into this country and benefit from not having to be oppressed continually?”

Bundy went on to observe that “faith is the opposite of fear” and that “we have been asked by God to help, to be welcoming, to assist strangers, to not vex them.” He also provided his viewers with a quick fact-check of the president’s claims that liberal billionaire George Soros had orchestrated the caravan, and that there were terrorists embedded among the migrants.

Bizarrely, the following that Bundy had amassed by threatening insurrectionary violence against Barack Obama’s government did not take kindly to his call for solidarity with the oppressed of Central America.

“It’s like being in a room full of people in here, trying to teach, and no one is listening,” Bundy told BuzzFeed News this week. “The vast majority seemed to hang on to what seemed like hate, and fear, and almost warmongering, and I don’t want to associate myself with warmongers.”

Bundy is only anti-unconstitutional government.

You just did! How does it feel to despise your neighbor’s rights?

The surface of the western states is all privately owned, not “Federal.”

The government is the squatter here.

Do you have a grasp of “surface rights?”

What is extremist about being a hard working rancher?

Should he be an ANTIFA thug instead?

Bundy owns all the surface rights for several square miles, all the rights, not just grazing.

He has never hired an illegal to do anything, but I bet you have...

Sounds like he prefers cheap foreign labor.

“We cannot find the employees needed” and “the Lord is going to bless us” with the Cheap Labor Express...

“I disgusted at the people who profess to be Christians who will not adhere to what Christ said.”

https://youtu.be/U8L3PwGpO-w?t=781

Does anyone know if Christ said have open immigration with a welfare state?

“Bundy is only anti-unconstitutional government.”

So, he thinks that it is unconstitutional to protect our borders?

The borders thing is just emotions.

Bundy has been through way more than most of us could have endured. Now he sees all of the actions of government as tyranny. (for his part that has been true)

You spoke cruelly about Bundy’s rights.

How can your rights matter if his don’t?

While you may be right about land rights - that’s not the issue and the point of the article. The issue is that Bundy is profoundly wrong in his understanding and characterization of the so-called Caravan, of the Trump administration, and especially his comparison of it with the Nazi regime. He is woefully ignorant of history and governmental/political systems.

I spoke to that issue; did you bother to read it?

This thread has brought out the insane among us to condemn those that still fight for our freedoms.

A display of deep ignorance on a website dedicated to freedom!

“The time we find ourselves in now that is closest found in history is Germany in the 1930s, and they had a leader that was loved, and it was the same kind of following,” he said.

He said it. And that is nuts.

At the very least you regularly patronize businesses that hire illegals.
