This is a blue-purple state too. If they tried this crap somewhere like Mississippi or Oklahoma, we could have a real show of force and it would never last as long as this did.
We owe gratitude to the militias who came in to defend the Bundy family as well as the local protesters who trucked in food and drink to sustain everyone. This will go down as the Battle of Bunkerville.
TeaParty: Resist in Place.
It was the Bundy's and close friends who first decided not to back down and defend. That determination and stand they took was the draw for many other like minded people, mostly from Nevada and the western states.
It took off like a fuse on the Internet, while most of the MSN had their heads up their asses, fixated on government corruption 10k miles away in Russia.

You could not be more wrong! Las Vegas is a liberal $hit Hole with most of the state’s population, but the rest of the state is very conservative.
Don’t let the statewide voting fool you. The libs in most states, including California, are corralled in the cities. If votes were counted based on the amount of land owned, this country would be 99% conservative.
I thought moving to California was going to put me at odds with everyone. Only when I go to the bigger cities do I hear Obama’s praises.

Good point. If that had been GA the shooting would have commenced. :-)
