Three questions no reporter asked Cliven Bundy

Given that you do not believe in the U.S. government:

1) Do you receive social security?

2) Are you on Medicare?

3) How do you pay for your living expenses without resorting to federal banknotes?

They were so eager to do a little government bashing that they road this cow all the way down the river.

Of Medicare he doesn't have to pay anything, if he takes Part B then he will have to contribute.
He has made money off of his cattle and should not need more. Before t he probably qualifies for food stamps.

1) Yes

2) Yes.

3) Yes, I use money.

Therein lies the hypocrisy.

I also note that he had U.S. flags all over the place, and raved about the "Constitution" which begins, if memory serves, "We the people, of the United States..."

One he talks about does not have any one who can arrest but the sheriff. He is very anti gubermint except using gubermint to graze his cattle. Welfare Cowboy. I wonder if some just does not get proper guidance and on their own loose reality.

After he answers ... immediately run to the person he names and ask if they are excited about Cliven's endorsement.

1) Are your cattle inspected by the USDA to get the proper grade certification for sale?

2) Is the rangeland your cattle graze fenced and protected by the US govt?

3) You run a ranch. So every piece of equipment from brush hogs to branding irons to stock trailers is part
and parcel of a business environ kept intact via rules and regulations designed to make the ranching
business run smoothly. Are you aware of this ?

Regarding your rascism:

Have you noticed that it's not your white skin color that makes you stupid? Pay attention, it's your mental laziness.
