Joan Walsh: How Dumb Opportunism Became A Right Wing Nightmare
Asked about Bundy’s virulently racist remarks by the Times, Rand Paul was “not available for immediate comment.” What courage. At least Dean Heller’s office immediately condemned the “appalling and racist statements.” Here’s a tip for Rand Paul: You’re a libertarian. Give your staff the liberty to tell the media you abhor racist comments, even if you’re not around.

jesus, this fuckin guy. if you want to have a coronary, visit "Support Cliven Bundy" on FB. although quite humorously, it's become infested with Bundy-bashers over the last week, which makes me smile a bit.

I'm not sure why the Feds even bothered sending in the guns when they could just sue him and eventually end up freezing his assets and put a warrant out for him. It seems even many right wing writers seem to agree, he doesn't have much of a case in court at all. As a flip side to this lunatic fringe, it is pretty pathetic that the government let the guy slide on this stuff for like twenty years.

today's controversy will at least cause his high-profile supporters to walk it back (most of them have already).
some of his minions have already started the 'HIS COMMENTS HAVE NOTHING 2 DO WITH THE GRAZING SITUATION'. one guy I talked to was like "I was wonderin when the liberals would finally come out and paint him as racis". if they painted, it was w/ his damn brush!

There’s no explaining away Mr. Bundy’s remarks, and I abhor them, and am pleased that Rich Lowry and others have taken the time to address them.
There’s no explaining away the lawlessness of the Obama administration or the crimes of the IRS, either. A nation can survive its cranks, but not a criminal government.

David brings to his show a cast of comedic characters including lovable but blunt Aunt Tilly, a 94 year-old spinster; the classic quick-witted trouble maker, Mack Elroy; the dopey yet adorable hound dog, Buford; and the slightly misguided albino vulture, Vern. Of course no show would be complete without a few surprise appearances from members of the audience as well!
David’s high-quality, family-friendly humor has mesmerized audiences the world over. Whether it’s a convention or conference, a corporate event or a cruise, David Pendleton makes it a night to remember!

And what role is played in all this by Hungary? Well, it was in Hungary that “a principled, conservative and radically patriotic Christian party” has recently become the second most important political group in the country. So it is only fitting that Budapest will be the venue of this year’s ‘Identitarian Congress’ (h/t).
The conference, with its sleek website, an optional walking tour of Budapest, and “evening cocktails and hors d’oeuvre,” is co-hosted by the white supremacist, Montana-based National Policy Institute, the Nordic ‘identitarian’ website Motpol, and the publishing house Arktos Media, which published not only Alain de Benoist’s The Problem Of Democracy but also his book on the Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmitt, as well as tracts with such charming names as The Northern Dawn, White Identity, or The Homo and the Negro.

That’s right, equalitarians, if you really care about making the world fair and wonderful and special and lala, by logical extension you should also be in favour of reducing breast cancer research funding and transferring those dollars over to man-cancer research. “Huh?!

http://contravex.com/2014/08/03/democracy-vs-aristocracy/
The costs of the creature comforts afforded by democracy are exacted in the form of mental imprisonment. The nation of laws, rather than of men, is opaque and unknowable. Rather than having, as in an aristocracy, a few written social conventions to guide the behaviour of peoples, with the rest being unwritten and based on respect and reputation, a democracy relies on an infinity of legal constructs that ultimately form a Byzantine rat maze. After a few generations in a democacy, the restrictions on physical and mental lebensraum become so normalized that the world outside the prison walls becomes unimaginable. And certainly far too “dangerous.” As such, no one can take charge of the situation, no matter how corrupt it clearly is.
...
Modern democratic societies, rather than islands of tranquility, have yielded the bloodiest wars in the history of humanity. Much of what has been promised has been empty. Our freedom is restricted by laws instead of men, our discourse is restricted by ignorance rather than wisdom, and our human nature is restricted by rationalism rather than propriety.
But now a new day is dawning!
We have the internet, the personal computer, encrypted e-mail, and, of course, Bitcoin. The pendulum is swinging back. The aristocracy will rise again.
And we have front-row seats to the fight.
