VS THE OUTLAW BUNDY AND FRIENDS.

Well said. She strikes me as non too bright to not have made this connection. And though she complains about Bundy being a self-made victim, what is she????
Ann’s not in a place to call someone else a “nutter”.
She’s “bailed out” of the business world, going off the grid living with her friends.
Like too many, she’s got some things right, yet she can’t see other things because she falls for the nutcase material that is mixed in with truth as part of disinformation campaigns designed to discredit critiques of the financial elites.
She is the next Mel Brooks.

The Bundy’s guilt or innocence is irrelevant.
It is the Federal Government’s response that is the issue.
The BLM gets to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Completely outside the normal rule of law.
Wow. Who is shallow again? Really sick of her to include the words "worthy of life and limb".
I think they saw a lot of ordinary citizens come out, not only take up arms against the Feds, but willing to die for their belief. This scares the pundits. They know we - this nation - are very close to the spark that ignites the fire.
When it happens - and I think it will - they know what the upheavel will be and if history shows us, when society upheavel occurs, people use it as an excuse to get even, to account for past wrongs - real or imagined. Those who live in the cities are also concerned because deep down they know that if the flyover parts of this country shut down, they will not survive long.
Karma’s a bitch.
She’s sounding like Glenn Beck, on this....

BTTT FRiend.
I am reminded of the words of Patrick Henry: It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace – but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death
This is the take-away for many of us who are not in a position to sort out the disinformation and evaluate the merits of opposing arguments. It seems entirely possible with the amount of national politics and money involved, and the track record of some of the local politicians, that we will witness another Waco or Ruby Ridge.
The Breitbart link is most appreciated.
The sad underlying truth here is that Clive Bundy is a member of a dying breed - the independent rancher (or, in a greener part of the nation, a farmer) who want little more from the government than to be left alone to live his life as his ancestors have done, on the land. The sadness comes from the fact that other than conservatives, traditionalists, and libertarians - no one cares about people like him or their choices. As witnessed by the fact that over 50 ranchers just like Bundy have been wiped out - and when have any of us heard a word about it? They can’t move the stock price, they amount to only a small handful of votes, they don’t have a powerful lobby or special interest group on K street pulling for them. To put it bluntly, they’re on life support, and regardless of whether the BLM pulls the plug or not, a way of life and tradition will be gone all too soon. And the nation will be the lesser for it.
I’ll decide if Ann has learned anything...when she makes another bank deposit.
Those are such beautiful words. Thank you for sharing them.
VS THE OUTLAW BUNDY AND FRIENDS.
“Nobody’s clean in this.”
Oh give me a break!!! Ann Barnhardt in another inane screed. At least its in print and you don’t have to listen to her screech owl voice like fingernails on a chalkboard.
The full weight and force of the US civilian national defense force (the BLM and some hired Mercs) coupled with the militarized local police (LVPD) attempting to remove one small rancher and his scruffy 900 head of cattle from 600,000 acres of sub sahara wasteland.
Yeh the deadbeat grazing fee dodger who has been out working his butt off raising beef for all of America to eat. His family having the water and grazing rights on this property for 140 years.
Its all a smokescreen. Don’t get cought up in the BS like poor Ann Barnhardt.
Why the big push to get Mr. Bundy off his land?
Why? Because the tortoise is endangered? NO
Why? Becuase Bundy didn’t pay grazing fees? No
Why? Because a corrupt politician and his criminal cronies in league with the President of the US want to use the land for their own purposes? Bingo
There is a reason Ann you moron why the FBI and the US Marshals are nowhere to be found in this nakedly evil overeach by an out of control Agenda 21 driven govt.
The Obama regime and its fellow democrat travellers are a rogue government that has to be stopped and soon. This is all a prelim to martial law and naked power whenever and wherever the govt wants.
I can see where the Bundy family may have helped to create the legal situation they’re in, but it just really makes me sad to think that a way of life is slipping away in the process. I’ll probably shed a tear when the last landline phone is unplugged and the last AM radio station is turned into a digital noisemaker too...
I guess even sadder is the fact that in a couple of generations the traditions that built the nation will no longer be evident, outside of museums and movies. Which is to say they will only be remembered in ways that can be dismissed as easily our forefathers dismissed the Indians (or should I say “Native Americans”). The ultimate irony may be that the Bundy clan is now in about the same position the Indians were in during the latter part of the 19th century, fighting the same enemy.
Good piece.
