BYW This rancher was paying grazing fees to Clark County Nevada
But he refused to pay grazing feeds to the parasites in Washington DC
And Clark County declined to accept the grazing fees, because they don't own the real estate in question. The U. S. Government does. In fact, this Bundy guy was trying to pay any governmental entity he could find, except the one that actually owned the land he was running his cattle on. All this while proclaiming that he wasn't going to pay "the wrong landlord," when that, in fact, was exactly what he was doing.
I'm gratified that the BLM backed down, because doing so serves to defuse the situation, at least for the time being. But I'm not stupid enough to deceive myself into thinking that Mr. Bundy wasn't constructively stealing from the U.S. taxpayer, because he most assuredly was. He was grazing his cattle on BLM land without paying his allotment fees. For at least 20 years. If he were an honest man, he would not have been doing that.
And Mr. Bundy well knows it, too.
By the way...I don't have much use for the sniveling poofter who wrote the subject article. But to the extent he recognizes that Bundy has been appropriating U.S. government assets for his own use without payment (i.e., grass for his cattle), I'm willing to give him credit.

Have you seen the area in question?

You need to do more research on the history of the two local grazing allotments.

Government does.What you need to ask yourself is why you support the Feds owning 60% of Nevada land. This land should be out of Federal hands and owned by Nevada, by private citizens and Nevada counties
