I think we can agree if he was a hoe he’d be the wooden blunt bit. Not the sharp effective bit. ---

I’d say he and his family are more the “welfare queen” class they despise so much. They mooched off the government so long and that’s what they are fighting back against: Having to pay for their use of land they don’t own (they claim they own it, along with 300+ million other “we the people”). Fuck these moochy fucking moochers! Get a fucking job and pull yourself up by your bootstraps. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > they claim they own it, along with 300+ million other “we the people” Pretty sure if you asked Bundy, his definition of “we the people” does not include all three hundred million. His count of who’s a Real American probably only comes up to around a hundred million. And all those other people are living in “our country”. ---

Those are his beliefs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see his family dabbling with the FLDS portion. They are a bit more on the violent side, which is very appealing to them. ---

The government land he wants use of ain’t going to support even a hundred million unless _certain_ people get far greater access to it than others. I have a feeling I know which certain people he would have in mind. ---

They are fringe Mormons (not polygamists) that follow the teachings of a far-right political/ religious figure named W. Cleon Skousen. Glenn Beck was also a big Skousen follower.

Cleon Skousen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Cleon_Skousen)** > > Pages for logged out editors learn more > > Willard Cleon Skousen (/ˈskaʊzən/; January 20, 1913 – January 9, 2006) was an American conservative author with the John Birch Society and a faith-based conspiracy theorist. A notable anti-communist and supporter of the John Birch Society, Skousen's works involved a wide range of subjects including the Six-Day War, Mormon eschatology, New World Order conspiracies, and parenting. His most popular works are The Five Thousand Year Leap and The Naked ... Ammon Bundy, IMHO, is stupid in the way that people that have been indoctrinated rather than educated can be. He has absolutely no critical thinking skills, speaks in scripture and quotes Bible verses (and the US Constitution) out of context as his justification for everything. ---

Poor Bundy didn’t get Trump’s endorsement.

Yep. I posted something similar over in the omnibus stupid fucks thread lamenting the fact that Trumps backing will probably get her elected. While Little hasn’t been great (well, he’s been downright terrible with the pandemic), he’s at least sane. McGeachin is nuttier than squirrel poop and will harm ID. ---
