I haven't followed politics much the last few days; Weather too nice, beach too close. But, I watched the Daily Show last night and got my first knowledge of the latest Cattle Battle update.
And it began with Cliven Bundy giving a speech and saying "Let me tell you another thing I know about 'the Negro'".
And I just paused and thought "Holy shit....is this real?"
He of course goes on to talk about how "the Negro" aborts his children, jails is men, and "never learned to pick cotton". Jesus H. Christ
And yet, he goes on.....and asks if they were better of as slaves.
But it doesn't end there. He defends the institution of slavery because it gave "the Negro" a "normal family life", gave them chickens to tend to, and, get this: "something to do".
And of course, he goes on about how he believes there is no federal government, and the ONLY authority in this land is the county sheriff; Which of course is the belief of the radical right wing sovereign citizen movement.
And just when I thought it couldn't get more surreal, one of the militia members goes to explain how they purposely put women and children up front to form a women/child shield in case the Feds started shooting.
Someone tell me that his is just a practical joke; These people cant really exist, and be this crazy, can they?
And as a guy who lives in South Carolina, and loves my home state and the South (for our food, women and college football).......let me just say, THANK GOD this guy wasn't a Southerner saying all that shit!!!!
