A few thoughts on Cliven Bundy

Looks like Bundy has croaked himself with that last remark about slavery.  I think his words are being twisted, but maybe not.  I've read them, but not studied them.  It looks like he's saying that blacks were better off as slaves than the way they are now.  What does this mean?

Did he really mean to say that slavery should return?  No, I don't think he meant that.  But it is being taken that way.

It looks like Bundy could use some help.  But he's not the kind to seek it.  So he's an easy target.  They can pick him off and so they have.  Now Bundy has been labeled a racist and is hereby an object of scorn.  Anybody who associates with him is guilty as well.

But nobody on the so-called right will try to understand that what he said was an indictment of the current system.  That's how I see it.

The current system is no good for anybody---- white or black.  If he had said it that way, it would have been easier to defend.  But the way he said it made it easy for the GOP to run away from him like a scalded dog.

The GOP is useless and gutless.
