I agree we shouldn't tolerate abuse. Did I ever write that we should? What I linked was an explanation of Bundy's political philosophy which explains why he refuses to pay the federal government for grazing fees and why he refuses to accept the authority of anyone above the level of a county sheriff. That political philosophy is intimately related to the history and political philosophy of racism in this country. He's not just a guy late on his rent.
