Why You Should Be Sympathetic Toward Cliven Bundy

Cattle ranching is Bundy’s livelihood; it’s how he feeds his family. Even if he is trespassing his cattle, it’s not a crime — he’s doing so “out of love.”

Amen; man I wish I had thought of that line! Excellent post!

[Idaho_Cowboy]

Exactly! If “this ain’t the hill to die on” folks better pick another, and purity damn quick.

I posted this on another thread, but it is worth repeating in my humble opinion. The time of picking the hill to die on is now gone, the fight has started, the only question is which side are we going to be on.

Patrick Henry said: 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

These videos are for people who don't yet understand why Cliven Bundy broke his agreement with the BLM. They show why the BLM should not even be managing the public lands of Nevada or any other state.

Here's one that shows why the Sheriff of Clark County is duty bound to keep the BLM and all Federal agents from arresting Cliven Bundy.

Is there a difference between the desert turtle in the area of the Bundy ranch & the desert turtle in Death Valley?

Many acres were closed off in Death Valley National Monument to protect the desert turtle under Alan Cranston & Diane Feinstein. Access to those millions of acres no longer exist.

Now, that same department is claiming they no longer have enough money to run this agency & they are threatening to euthanize those Death Valley National Monument turtles!!!

Is there a difference in these turtles?

Can the Feds legitimately kill turtles in California & remove Bundy’s cattle 400 miles away to save Nevada turtles?

There are compound lies in all of the actions of the BLM, Harry Reid and the other Fed agencies who seem to even be at odds with themselves.

Connect the dots, people.

ppl may call them law breakers, but so what? Ppl on the Left have no problem law breaking if they believe a law is unjust. Its called civil disobedience

Sometimes, the law is an ass.

Meanwhile, the Obama administration has lare billboards facing south telling Mexicans they can have food stamps here in the USA and the Border Patrol is told not to have bullets in their guns.

Does anyone think these jackboots in these photos didn’t have bullets???

And since when does the BLM need such tactical people on their payroll?

How many does the BLM have on the payroll? Every single BLM truck I see here in N Nevada is a very new Ford, which runs about $55,000 per vehicle. They certainly are getting the very best & latest in equipment to keep the public off the public lands.

Exactly what Hitler & the Third Reich set up in the 30’s. You could not go a day without breaking a law.

[no-s]

tear gas or Pepper balls.

Note also number 1 has a riot shield, number 2 has what looks like a bean bag gun, number 3 has a rifle. So they're ready to escalate from pepper spray balls to bullets in one little stack. This looks like doctrine, but it has serious flaws in the face of armed opposition.

I live right near the place he said that. In fact a fella that heard him from a window asked that when his time came he would be buried right there. He was.

I am a doc. I have told folks in the past that if they thought they could get out of my head what I have learned over decades against my will, well let’s say good luck.

You may be an MD, but I an pretty sure that if you don’t accept obamacare in your practice in the near future you will be an UNlicensed MD.

Practice at your peril after that...

The photo of the thugs in body armor says it all actually. How have we come to a place where Americans can don this stuff HERE IN OUR HOME against US? Whatever the cause, it can’t be enough. How in the world does this happen? What kind of training does it take to turn an American into someone who would do that? I humbly submit that whatever the cause this behavior negates their desire to appeal to us as “fellow Americans”. Once you show up downrange from me dressed like that you are THE ENEMY.

They are the enemy and we need to wake up to that fact before it's too late.

If they won't hesitate to do it to him, they won't hesitate to do it to you or me.

[metmom]

We’re at the point where we’re ALL lawbreakers. Yes. He’s breaking the law, but the law is an ass. It’s set up so that we’re all in violation of something and we can never win.

Slavery was legal at one time and those who helped runaway slaves were lawbreakers and enters jury nullification.

Bad laws ought not to stand. They're not written in stone and we the people have the right to see them repealed.

LOL. I posted 5 years ago that if this Klown was elected abortion would be free on demand on Main Street but Lipitor could only be obtained in alleys shoved in the car window. I got no problem with unlicensed. In fact I been looking forward to it. Cash only. No malpractice. No more BS CME, PQRS, CAQH, AMA, AAFP, etc. it will be a huge improvement for me.

[Black Agnes]

I’m actually OK with statins being unavailable. They may cause more harm than good. I’d personally never take one regardless of my cholesterol level. I’m not a litigious sort so I’d never get in the way of others taking them. That ‘dangerous’ low carb diet halved my LDL, doubled my HDL and lowered my overall cholesterol by a dramatic percentage. My trigs were 20 last time I had bloodwork.

Abortions will be free of course, but I expect there will come a time in the not too distant future when there will be remuneration for having one in some fashion. And not too long after that having live babies will be punished in some way.

Good luck with the unlicensed bit. State medical boards go for the jugular with that stuff...
