Read up on the subject a little before posting your drivel next time.

OK, snarkiness noted.

But should that be the response to every fee that is raised too high by the government? This kind of thing goes on in other areas all the time. Should fee hikes just result in armed standoffs from now on?

I'm not defending Obama's government or their power grabbing, but I'm just asking if that's really how we should be responding to it, because we will get a Democrat president again, eventually.

Are we going to be the party of, "I don't like your fees and taxes, so I'm getting my gun!?"

Should I barricade the door and threaten to shoot the IRS agent who was sent to audit me because tax rates are insanely high?

When I hate the obscene hikes in my property tax, should I draw down on the deputies who come to evict me for failing to pay them?

I'm just saying that this was, I believe, an inappropriate response to the problem.

I know it sounds horrible to you, and probably overly radical, but in that one sentence you described the American Revolution.

You REALLY are way behind the truth on this one.

Way way lost. Read some of the links I posted.

I am trying to remember them all but many many employees of the states they resided in were there. People from Arizona, Washington state, and esp Nevada. Michele Fiore was a hugely involved assemblywoman from Las Vegas.

This was a blatant act of terrorism on the part of the BLM.

Just try reading

Additionally they famously had a small area taped off with a sign on it.

Fee hikes. Yeah, that's what did it.

The Bundy's were contesting the government's actions in court when the government decided to steal the Bundy's cattle and drive them into bankruptcy thereby taking away their resources which were being used to contest the case in court. The govt didn't like the way the case was going and decided that sheer Federal power would work better for them - as it usually does. But in this case they met resistance and have so far lost on the ground and in the courts. What would you do when faced with the loss of your livelihood and then having your ability to contest the govt's wrongdoing in court stolen from you?

” Should fee hikes just result in armed standoffs from now on?”

Review Boston Tea Party.

Remember that Tea Party thingy?

Stamp Tax ?

Read the
Declaration of Independence!

Well, the founders sort of saw it that way. You may have heard of them.

So you support a militarized BLM? They are not cops. Take off your jack boots friend. The agencies should not be enforcing law through force.

The states have lost all power over the government since the 17th was passed.

The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Since the 17th amendment the country has gone to hell. The federal monolith has taken right after right because the states are not represented. We are a democracy today and they fail every-time tried. Repeal the 17th and all this kind of monarchic crap stops.
