I haven't written about Cliven Bundy because I don't really give a crap about him. I am not surprised to learn about his belief that blacks were better off as slaves, but it actually doesn't lower my opinion of him. My opinion of him was already as low as it can get.

He's really just a mirror for the conservative movement. He's no different from the hundreds of thousands of white Kentuckians who complain about blacks on welfare while they are on food stamps and have subsidies that allow them to have access to quality health care for the first time.

Probably no president in history has done more to improve the quality of life for white Kentuckians than Barack Obama, but he doesn't get due credit for it because he's black and represents the "Black Party."

Cliven Bundy won't pay his grazing fees, but he complains about "negroes" who get government assistance. It's no wonder he became a hero to the conservative movement. He embodies their beliefs.
