Dissent is one of the key ingredients of our Democracy.Opinions about the size of the government and whether it should be involved in this issue or that are as American as apple pie. However, when the media identifies a racist rancher who denies the very existence of the Federal government as a patriot it borders on lunacy.We are a government of laws and it is certainly the right of citizens to protest any law but armed confrontation in support of one who denies the very existence of any laws is way over the line.Bundy is a lawless racist that spews his views on people of color on a national stage thanks to those who view ratings more than community responsibility. Shame on anyone who defined this renegade as a patriot.
