I’m glad you’d seen it.

I think Cliven Bundy and family are hashing and rehashing over and over continuously what they know, and why they think what they think about all this . They’re looking for the right way to explain what they think. I think they remember different facets of the past as they ponder and as they’re asked questions and as other’s prod them with thoughts and information.

What they know and believe....little doubt of that...is that they have a right to be there the same as the rocks, cactus, and turtles. It’s been their home for generations.

One thing that strikes me is that they’re Mormons, and as such, they probably date back to that original Utah group that continued to spread. Joseph Smith and crew just staked out Salt Lake and claimed it and other settlements. I’m not Mormon, but I don’t recall them paying anybody for it. Do you?

I think he might have hit on the right response when he said last night on Hannity that he simply disputes the right of the Fed Government to own 80% of Nevada.

When you think about it, the Federal Government has not exactly been a good steward about the land it "owns" in Nevada. They poisoned hundreds of thousands of acres of Nevada with above ground nuclear tests and almost all of the land they "own" is undeveloped land that provides no benefit to the American economy. If the land were in private hands or at the disposal of the State, then Nevada would likely prosper like the deserts of Israel.

Again you are correct. There is no provision in the Constitution that allows the Federal Government to "own" real property within state boundaries. We are supposed to be a FEDERAL Government consisting of 50 SOVEREIGN states with the rights not specifically granted to the Federal Government to be retained by the States. This would include the rights of ownership over the real property rights within the borders of that State subject only to the regulatory powers in the COMMERCE CLAUSE.

Wake Up Nevada. Bundy is fighting for YOU!
