He maybe a conservative cowboy, but he ain't no "bootlicker".

This is what “Don’t Tread On Me” was supposed to be about.

I love how Bundy triggered the chuds by supporting BLM because of his principles against fascism

[TreiberSeptim]

I love how accurate his analysis of conservative propaganda is

Holy shit, imagine an America where conservatives are actually ideological consistent people, who want the same freedom and rights you want, they merely think it is achieved by different means.
That’d be an incredibly sight to see.

Fair play to him. At least he's a principled Libertarian.

[keldenrobertson]

Defund the police is so we can properly fund every thing else in our society that has been underfunded and rerouted from the social safety net.

Ammon is speaking truth, and not politically.

[tylerhackner]

I’m glad at least he’s consistent. This is what “Don’t Tread on Me” was supposed to be.

There's a taste of rare genuine conservatism. The real thing is not toxic, not Republican. I once blew a Republican's mind when I informed him that one cannot be a genuine American conservative unless they are liberal. Liberality was central to the American political foundation. Today, 40% of the world's economic family monarchies are Americans: Walton ($190.5B), Mars ($126.5B), Koch ($124.5), Cargill, MacMillan (42.9B), Thompson [Reuters]($39.1B), Johnson[Fidelity]($37.4B), Cox ($36.9B), Pritzker [Hyatt]($33.7B), S.C.Johnson ($33B), [Este] Lauder ($32.3B) - there are 630 American billionaires. Before Covid there were 38.1 million Americans living in poverty.

This is a man that walks the talk. The hardest part of anyone’s beliefs is dealing with the bad parts of what you believe. When you get what you want not everything is good. But that’s how it has to be. The same will go for Progressives. What we want will have some downsides and how we deal with that will define our party.

Conservatives should be in favor of limiting Federal Agents impinging on a local government.
The 3rd Amendment and the 10 Amendment give us, the citizens of states and cities rights that the Feds are trying to take away.

Awesome. Correct it shouldn’t be shocking, but it shows that there are genuine thinkers still out there.

[quique]

Boy he gets it & while I prob. don't agree w/ him on other issues I can respect his choice.

[sprontos]

This is not the first time Ammon has come out in this way. He's earned my respect.

[Jose-Gonzalez-cfl]

A consistent conservative, we found the unicorn!

[Tahia]

He speaks like a libertarian, most republicans would disagree with him.

Laws are for the poor. Laws are made by the rich. Their time is nigh.

"You must have a problem in your mind!" I like that!

When you're right you're right, no labels needed!!!!
