Cliven Bundy bolted the GOP on Friday. It can't be because they were too sane, humane or thoughtful. I have to guess they just weren't anarchistic enough for this True American.

no place to go
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Southern Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy no longer is a Republican.
Bundy, who is embroiled in a dispute over grazing with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, has switched his affiliation to the Independent American Party.
He and his wife, Carol, signed registration forms to the cheers of supporters at an Independent American Party gathering in Las Vegas on Friday night.
Apparently the IAP thought enough of Clive to fete him with real "cheers" from "supporters" (implying more than one). A quick perusal of their
official site shows a thick obsession with God and the Tenth Amendment, at least the part of the 10th that says the Federal Guv'mint should GET THE F**K OFF MY LAND!! Here's a list of helpful and entertaining articles:
-Representatives: Please Work for Marriage Purity (is "purity" referring to teh Gayz, teh Negroes or teh Sheep?)
-Why is a Myriad of Government Agencies Stocking up on Weapons?
-Graham: ‘True Followers of Jesus…Cannot Endorse Same-Sex Marriage’
-May, 2014: A Prayer Mission for the United State of America
-Constitution101: The Sovereignty of the People
-Help the Bundys Take Action
Nice priorities folks.
Bundy made clear his biggest beef with the GOP when he called out for cash a while back. You see all of these independent "Makers" yearn to be teet-suckling "Takers". Heck, he couldn't even get Steve Stockman to visit let alone Sarah Palin. First the Hannity TeeVee pipe shut off, then even the Oathtakers were scared off. By now the only steadfast defenders of Bundy's right to sponge off the State are homeless sociopathic lice colonies fueled by Jack Daniels and married to AR-15s.
I would love to think that this is a sign that the Party of the Bigoted, the Mean and the Stupid is reforming but Bundy's crime in the eyes of the Republican Establishment isn't being bigoted, mean or stupid... it's in being honest about it.
Here's Republican 101: If you're gonna be a Red in good standing you must not speak the truth about your beliefs in front of the camera.
