[font size=5]Bundy Ranch's Armed Defenders Seek Welfare to Sit Around Doing Nothing[/font]
Adam Weinstein
The life of an ever-vigilant anti-government armed patriot is hard. And by hard, I mean dull and unproductive. Also, not very profitable. Maybe that's why all those guys hanging out cleaning their guns in Nevada are now begging hard-working Americans to please give them some money.
One enterprising ranch defender needs funds so badly, he's taken to GoFundMe:
"To all American Patriots:
"I am the Team Leader that took Charlie Delta, the black marine, out to Nevada along with two other volunteers that all did an outstanding job at the Bundy Ranch. I understand most of you have come to know Charlie Delta through his expressed views on Cliven Bundy and the good we are all doing as patriots at the ranch. I am coming to you tonight humbly asking for your help. We may be the front line soldiers facing down an overbearing govt bureaucracy, but we are first off family men and women that have our own homes and jobs and families left behind to take on this endeavor. Therefore we have spent our fortunes for freedom and love of our fellow man and need your help to continue our efforts to keep all Americans free from tyranny. Please if you can spare even a few dollars for food, fuel and supplies to continue the stand against tyranny and an overbearing governtment [sic] please help. Even the smallext amount will help keep up the pressure to return this land to the people. I thank you all sincerely for your contribution.
"Christopher E Ferrell
"United we stand! Divided we fall!"
Chris isn't alone in opting for unemployment assistance to play soldier out in the desert. Another self-appointed militia bigwig, Blaine Cooper, took up a GoFundMe collection "for gas, and expenses to help in our fight with the bundies all money will be used for food and gas........." (his page has since been taken down but is cached here.)
How's the welfare drive going? Shitty. Cooper, who's been something of a celeb in the cause (and is incensed that prison inmates get free food), made just under $1,500 in a month and a half. Ferrell, meanwhile, has netted $170 from five donors... well short of his $100,000 goal. Sheesh. Why don't these losers get jobs?

First, burning man PAYS the government more than a million dollars in fees every year.
AND, they leave the place as they left it with one of the most respectable and efficient clean up programs you will find:
They even sweep and rake the SAND! They Leave No Trace!
And I just love the graphic of the map of the Playa:

(43 posts)Don't these guys understand that if other people give them things for free they'll just become members of a welfare-militia class? Why the next thing you know they'll be pulling up to the grocery store in a camouflage painted Cadillac and buying steaks for their attack dogs while the only thing their supporters can afford is hamburger. And after that, they'll all start having multiple generations of little welfare-militia babies that they'll expect the rest of us to support. This welfare-militia entitlement mindset is going to cripple the country with it's creeping welfare-militia socialism!

(86,650 posts)unless they go to a feed lot to finish off the weight gain phase, all bundy's got is beef jerky on hooves.
Bunch of losers who don't have jobs other than jumping through wide hoops to get their dole-$$ twice a week. Since they are being identified, maybe they are whining because Uncle Sam has been quietly sanctioning their bank accounts. Wouldn't that be a hoot? When they run out of cash, I wonder if they'll leave those gas guzzling trucks out in the desert and be hitch-hiking back to their caves.
It's too bad there isn't some way to send them a teeny tiny bit of money with fees forwarded that exceed the amount sent!!

(86,650 posts)Must be all those years I lived in Idaho and Montana that helped me hone my dull wit! ...or maybe it's western snark.
I put up with too many of these type of clowns to have any sympathy or respect for them in any humane capacity.
