What Would Lincoln Say About Rancher Bundy?

Nobody Remembers

The cry in the news today was like a tornado coming into Kansas: RACIST! RACIST! RACIST! Yes, Mr. Bundy, the hero of the past week, just came off his high horse. Probably due to all the support he was getting all over the country, he was embolden to give more of his “opinions.”

Reeling from the: “I was a nobody and now everybody is listening to little old me:” he came forth to say:

“I want to tell you one more thing I know about the Negro,” Bundy began, as he recounted seeing a group of “older people and kids” sitting idle in an open doorway of the building.

“They didn’t have nothing to do. They didn’t have nothing for their kids to do. They didn’t have nothing for their young girls to do,” he said.

“And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do?” he asked. “They abort their young children, they put their young men in jail, because they never learned how to pick cotton. And I’ve often wondered, are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having a family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn’t get no more freedom. They got less freedom.”

“They never learned to pick cotton?” Okay, this guy is OLD, and obviously hasn’t traveled farther than Las Vegas.

Now, most Americans going about their day, did NOT hear: I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. What was this man’s opinion is that black people may have been better off working and having a family.

He wants to see them WORK.

I assume that’s what he meant. Choosing “slavery” to say it was very ignorant. Yes, it smacks of white superiority to blacks, and to show he was not racist, he started praising the Hispanics.

Poor guy. He should have talked about his cows.

While the obvious stereotypical “blacks are lazy” is expressed, he blames it on the government. But, remember—this is an opinion of many whites…who work hard and see the blacks getting big welfare checks, while they would never want to see them picking cotton again, it sure would be nice if they could all get jobs outside of the government.

It’s okay for the Mexicans to pick fruit, right? Why do democrats never complain about the fruit plantations?

They see the Mexican guy busting his ass, working hard, but not the black people, who let’s admit, too many blacks have been kept on a democratic slave plantation where they don’t have to work.

Even Abigail Adams thought free blacks were lazy and slow, and not because she was raciest. She complained about them more than once, she finally fired them and got Scots to do the work around the White House. Remember, John Adams was the ONLY founder who had no slaves, and thought it was an abomination from the beginning. Abigail Adams might have agreed with Bundy.

Al Sharpton has said more raciest things in his lifetime than Bundy, but that’s another blog.

What was upsetting about this, is FOX news going after the man, and acting like that opinion made all that had happened on his ranch..HIS fault, not the government.

They did a complete 160…now the man had no RIGHT at all to resist the government.

(Yes, it’s all about the money, and no the government had no right to take his cattle and bring in the 4th battalion.)

Nobody Thinks some reporter knew just the right question to ask, of a man who obviously can’t understand what is happening to his way of life, and didn’t know how the media would crucify him. Which brings me to today historical moment to remember: How the democratic party, which fought to continue slavery, treated the Republicans before the Civil War;

You could not WIN if you were a Republican.

Here is section of a speech Lincoln gave while running for President, at Cooper Union, New York, and he was talking to the democrats, who remember your history, loved the slave trade and wanted to keep it.

“I would address a few words to the Southern people. (democrats)

I would say to them: you consider yourselves to a reasonable and a just people: and I consider that in the general qualities of reason and justice you are not inferior to any other people. Still, when you speak of us Republicans you do so only to denounce us as reptiles, or at the best, as no better than outlaws. You will grant a hearing to pirates or murderers, but nothing like it to “Black Republicans.” In all your contentions with one another, each of you deems an unconditional condemnation of “Black Republicanism” as the first thing to be attended to. Indeed, such condemnation of us seems to be an indispensable prerequisite—license, so to speak, among you to be admitted or permitted to speak at all. now, can you or not be prevailed upon to pause and to consider whether this is quiet just to us or even to yourselves? Bring forward you charges and specification, and then be patient long enough to hear us deny or justify.”

So, in this world were a white person can not only no longer say “nigger” but “negro” Bundy has already been deemed a imbecile, and not worthy of us anymore.

But..like Lincoln would also observe: ..Obama would welcome the Muslim Brotherhood into the White House, before he would welcome Mr. Bundy. (And he has) He would sit in the pews of a racist Muslim white hater, for over twenty years, but he would not listen to Bundy. He would hang out with rappers that talk smack, and demean women, and do drugs, rather than excuse Bundy.

In my Nobody’s Opinion, I would trust a very old, out of date, opinionated man like Bundy long before I would trust a President who was once a drug addict, and is destroying the whole country, and behaves like a psychopath. A man who has released a silent holocaust on his own people called, with extreme hypocrisy: Obamacare

Does having an uneducated black race of people, who should be off the poor, city, democratic plantation help America?

In that respect, I think Bundy might have something

Maybe he should have said: They’d be better off picking grapes in the San Fernando Valley.
