I know that Cliven Bundy doesn't deserve any more attention, but I found this little bit of news about one of his unrepentant supporters: Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers. Seems the good Sheriff of Elkhart County went down to Cliven Bundy's Ranch as a "peacekeeping mission."
"The knowledge and experience I gained from this trip is going to serve Elkhart County in the near future when something occurs here," he wrote in the post. "I was also there on a peacekeeping mission to keep people from getting killed, on my own time!
Sheriff Brad Rogers is a Republican and a member of the Oath Keepers. And, as such, he believes that county sheriff's are the highest elected law officers in the land. Also, Oath Keepers such as himself are
dedicated to upholding the Constitution and disobeying moves they see as unconstitutional, like pushes to disarm the public. "Basically it's a bunch of peace-loving patriots like yourselves that are looking to have constitutional government and to not abide by any orders that are unconstitutional, like herding people into concentration camps or disarming the public or whatever the case may be," he said.
Furthermore, Constitutional scholar Rogers had this to add:
"I'm out here to show support and affirm with the other people that are here that, really the feds shouldn't be involved. It should be the sheriff," Rogers, in uniform, told the crowd, gathered outdoors. Rogers asserted that the local sheriff, Clark County, Nev., Sheriff Douglas Gillespie, should have mediated the situation between the feds and Bundy.
Uh huh.
There are plenty of other words of wisdom from County Sheriff Rogers. In fact, there is a video of him shaking Cliven Bundy's hand while in his Sheriff's uniform. This was done fifteen minutes after Bundy made his awe inspiring statements about "The Negro."
Good to see that Arizona hasn't cornered the market on crazy County Sheriffs.
