Tea Partied GOP Bundy Jumpers: If they only had a clue!


“Actor Wesley Snipes spent three years in jail for failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2001. Rancher Cliven Bundy hasn’t paid the federal government its due in more than 20 years”! (u.s.news.com below)

Tea Partied congressional lawmakers(?)  including – but not limited to -Ted Cruz and Rand Paul; Tea Partied Governor Rick Perry, Tea Partied FOXifiers including – but not limited to - Hannity, The Five, and Tea Partied radio talking heads including – but not limited to - Limbaugh and Beck all claim to be great patriots and champions of the Constitution.

Now that Bundy has dug himself into the racist trench, the above Tea Partied patriots(?) are jumping ship, but WE haven’t forgotten that their unrelenting, passionate and compassionate support of Bundy exposed the fact that when it comes to patriotism and the Constitution…Tea Partied Bundy Jumpers don’t have a clue!

Tea Partied Bundy Jumpers, often mislabel welfare recipients as “freeloaders”  (racist, misinformed code word for Black and brown people). (See and share the GOP and the Food Stamp Fallacy link below,)

They didn’t have a clue that Bundy's  free use of government land to graze his cattle made him a government welfare "freeloader" for 20 years!


Tea Partied Bundy Jumpers, frequently, mislabel government intervention as “overreach” and “unconstitutional”.

They didn’t have a clue that when they piggy-backed on Bundy’s self-comparison(?) to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King,  they were, in fact, praising government intervention.

Government intervention was required to defend Rosa Park's civil rights. Government interventions was required to defend other civil rights activists from fire hoses, church bombings, lynchings, killings, attack dogs, and government intervention was required to legislate Rosa’s and Martin’s civil rights struggle into the Civil Rights Act!


Tea Partied Bundy Jumpers, constantly, champion the Second Amendment. Day after day after day, the Tea Partied FOX Cable Muse Network aired a photo of a Militia sniper on a bridge treating him like a hero. They didn’t have a clue that as the unregulated Militia hero pointed a loaded rifle at federal agents, he was also pointing it in the direction of  Bundy supporters including children!?!?!?


Let’s clue in Tea Partied Bundy Jumpers with these constitutional tidbits regarding the Second Amendment...

The 2nd Amendment is a part of the Bill of Rights which are the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.  The Bill of Rights were proposed and sent to the states by the first session of the First Congress.  They were ratified on December 15, 1791”. (constitution.laws.com)

The 2nd Amendment reads as follows: “Well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.”

Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 empowers:  “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the MILITIA of the several states when called into the actual Service of the United States”!

If they only had a clue!
