Rand Paul Met Privately With Far Right Racist Rancher Cliven Bundy for 45 Minutes

A chip off the old block
Politics • Views: 65,241

We noted earlier that GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul met with far right racist anti-government rancher Cliven Bundy yesterday in Nevada, but tonight it’s coming out that Paul and Bundy actually had a private sit-down meeting for approximately 45 minutes.

The Nevada rancher said that he had expected only to have an opportunity to shake hands with Paul and make small-talk. He was surprised when campaign aides found a private room and allowed Bundy, his wife and son to speak with the candidate for the better part of an hour.

According to Bundy, the two mainly discussed federal land oversight and states’ rights, in addition to education policy — a theme Paul brought up in his speech.

“I don’t think he really understood how land rights really work in the western United States,” Bundy said. “I was happy to be able to sort of teach him.”

A Republican candidate for President of the US makes time in his schedule to meet with a racist sovereign citizen head case, to talk about “states’ rights.” In 2015. Does this bother anyone but me?

45 minutes is a long time not to say “Why don’t you just pay the grazing bills?”

When people wonder how a man like Dylann Roof comes to think his racist views are mainstream conservatism, the sad truth is that he’s right. If Cliven Bundy is not so toxic for a GOP candidate that he’d stay as far away as possible, the problem is that the GOP voters don’t really oppose racism.

This is possibly one of the most annoying anti-vaxxer talking points of them all. First of all the mercury compounds in vaccines haven’t been in use for over a decade. Second, even when they were, it was compound present in levels far too low to be dangerous. There was never any free mercury in vaccines, It is like saying you shouldn’t eat salt because sodium explodes when it comes into contact with water.

In it, We’ll collect a million dollars against Jim Carrey putting up his own million dollars to go into a vaccine manufacturing facility and randomly select any MMR vaccine to test for Mercury. The loser of the challenge donates the funds to the winner’s selected charity.

I had this idea when his father was running for president since his father and him love to talk about “liberty” and “freedom” yet have a who’s who in fascists that support them and their cause. Anyhow my idea was to write a dystopia about a Ron/Rand Paul candidate actually getting elected and going full fascist. Ron/Rand despite their claims have always struck me as qutie authoritarian. They just don’t want it from Washington but they’re okay with states doing it. Said it before but local authoritarianism is far more a worry than federal.

There was never any free mercury in vaccines, It is like saying you shouldn’t eat salt because sodium explodes when it comes into contact with water.

A long time ago, I had a nasty allergic reaction (instant red-eye) to some contact lenses I was being fitted for. Best guess was that thimerosol as used in that particular chemical cleaning system was the culprit. It wasn’t the contacts themselves, because switching to heat disinfection solved the problem.

Of course it remains true that any issues having to do with thimerosol have nothing to do with free mercury, and that thimerosol has been removed from vaccine compositions.

Also, stochastic terrorism is certainly a possibility. Any US RWNJ that wants to self-radicalize to the point of violent extremism need do nothing more alarming than listen to Fox News all day.

Said it before but we are too cowardly often to discuss racism and race in this country because we’re too afraid of being called “race pimps”(thank you ashsoles at the NRO), “reverse racists”, “the real racists” or being told to shut up because a black president is evidence that racism is dead. i’ve come to believe that racism, homophobia, whatever have you tends to get worse pardoxically as things get better. Take the 60’s. The KKK had actually declined after the Depression hit but when Civil Rights really took off in the 50’s and 60’s, the KKK had a huge resurgence. As support for gay rights has increased in this country culminating with Friday’s decision by the court, I am seeing more hateful rhetoric than ever towards gay people. Perhaps this is a sociological version of Newton’s third law

Did the KKK and white citizens councils really die or did they just hush up? I have to tell you some of the attitudes I’ve either heard directly form fellow whites or overheard in conversation(I don’t eavesdrop) but you can hear people talk at restaurants and whatever and it just makes you wonder. In a way I think back ot what John Edwards said as a prseidential candidate about two Americas, he meant in more economical terms but I see it is more social terms. You got those who are thrilled about Friday’s SSM decision, have tons of family and friends of all backgrounds, etc and then you have those who still can’t get over that we elected a black guy president, those who would probably outright criminalize homosexuality if they could, and those who would rather celebrate the CSA than MLK.

Is this a bot or actual individual doing it?

Usually by this point, real human beings start wondering why I respond to their posts with a photo of Sean Connerty in Zardoz.

So I guess bot. And my reasoning is totally perfect, so you’ll deeply offended me if you question my reductio ad weird 70s scifi argument.

Seems to me their voices are plenty. Mike Huckabee, Tony Perkins, Ted Cruz, and many others seemed pretty vocal about it. If by silent, do they mean given a platform to get their matryr complex on?

I am really getting sick of the local news here in Washington, D.C.

The local police chief for D.C., Cathy Lanier, has blamed pretty much every instance of crime in the two months, including a spike in murders, on synthetic drugs and the local news repeats exactly what she says without bothering to do any fact checking or asking a single soul in the police union or anywhere else.

I wasn’t keen on the Andrew Garfield Spidey movies (I did appreciate that they stayed true to Gwen Stacey’s fate though) and I’ll freely admit, I really wanted the Miles Morales version of Spidey.

So really for me, I’m just all geek out by the poster itself.

I’ve never been big on comic book movies anyhow. Me the history/literary nerd, I’m always looking at something that should be adapted but hasn’t yet. Hint Hollywood adapt Richard Yates’ The Easter Parade. Revolutionary Road was a great, realistic look at the 1950’s and TEP was a great read too.

Good evening Lizards from soon to be rained upon Boston.

Up here keeping my brother company since Sunday. He’s here since someone he knows is here for heart surgery (actually a pulmonary embolism getting treated). We’re providing moral support and company, and I am doing a little tourist stuff on the side. Bicycled into the city today from Chelsea since it was nice out. And also visited the New England Aquarium. Walked around Beacon Hill a bit yesterday as well.

And the Sunday run-around worked out. I got to see the B-29 at Bradley Field and also the USS Massachusetts down at Fall River before driving up to Boston.

When asked the same question, Microsoft Phone’s Cortana grabbed the Washington Post’s article lede (“ask Siri what zero dividide by zero is and she’ll send you to the burn ward”) and ran with it-and randomly picks some of the more other interesting headlines from this froo-fraw.

Many moons ago on an very active Compuserve Forum, a veteran IT professional (RIP, Phil) once responded on a thread (forgive me for some liberties, it’s been a while:)

When you look at the United States, the core of the country is nothing more than a bunch of cattle farmers and open channel AM airwaves.

So now imagine you’re an advanced alien species (at least two orders of magntitude among homo sapiens) and you aim your sensors at the United States: what do you find?

Cow Farts and Country Music.

Can’t argue with that.
