Cliven Bundy who has been
in the news for the last few weeks, and the people who support him
including a lot of the tea-party and republican shills on television
got me to thinking what is wrong with these people. I came across a
quote by Hubert Humphrey, former Vice-President of the United States
who summed up these people pretty well. This quote is about 50 yrs.
Old, but it fits perfectly into today's culture.
Whole communities “ can
be affected with emotional instability, frustrations, and irrational
behavior... that emotional instability that affects a significant,
but small minority in our midst that some call extreme right, they
still see the world in total black and white. They are still
substituting dogma for creative thought. They are angry fearful,
deeply and fundamentally disturbed by the world around them.”
I am sorry to say that
these kinds of people will always be with us, but there is no reason
that they be lionized like the right-wing pundits are doing. People
might die, then the same people who lionized and pushed these people
to greater anarchy will deny they ever had anything to do with it.
