So, without a bunch of rich (racist) gentleman farmers to lend it some credibility....it's just a bunch of dopes with guns, eh?
Thanks for making it absolutely clear that you can't mount an intelligent response.
Their respective causes lend them credibility, or in this case, fail to. Bundy supporters have thus far failed to make any sort of credible argument as to why the government is in the wrong. Referring back to the founders as some sort of crutch just won't cut it.So, without a bunch of rich (racist) gentleman farmers to lend it some credibility....it's just a bunch of dopes with guns, eh?
I'm just illustrating the absurdity of your statements. For example that "tax evasion" is not a basis for revolution. You really need to get a grasp on US history.
I understand history quite well. And I stand by the obvious moral axiom that facilitating tax evasion is not sufficient grounds for just rebellion.
That high horse is looking like a donkey without an argument.When you're ready to tell us if you have a right to freeload, you're welcome to come back.

Then you're ignoring the historical precedent of Americans opposition to taxes, and the lengths they'll go to respond, among other things.
I'm not ignoring it, I'm saying it's wrong, which it is.

No, they disagree with federal control of the land. That is not wrong.
I understand that that is your opinion. Luckily, the early Americans didn't hold that opinion.
It is when they start acting ILLEGALLY. If THEY don't like it, they are free to fight it in courts. The simple fact is they didn't get their way and are throwing a temper tantrum illegally.
Those that support Bundy are supporting freeloading. Don't EVER talk to me about welfare recipients when YOU support one.
And what moral justification is there for it?
I agree, they can take it to the court. Or they can do this and let elected officials respond.
No, they're protesting...and I'll talk to you about whatever I want. :shrug:
Theft. :shrug:
Oh they are going to get their elected officials to respond alright, though I doubt they are going to like the end result of it.
No, they are not just protesting. And go right ahead and I will call you out on your hypocrisy each and every time for it when you bring it up.
You're already a hypocrite because you support this protesting but not OWS.
bundy doesn't own the land.
Theft. :shrug:
Are you saying the government doesn't have the right to impose taxes?
Not at all. I'm saying that it must be done with the consent of the people.
The idea that someone doesn't have a right to "freeload" on unused, public land that serves no other purpose is inconsistent with the idea that one has the right to "freeload" on American society for subsistence simply for living in the country.
