While that is true, and I’ll give someone at the top credit for realizing that it would have only taken one mis-step for this situation to have turned very bad, I don’t for a minute think “it’s over”. What Bundy won is a battle, not the war. He got his cattle back, but the BLM may just be trading their strongarm tactics for ones that happen in courthouses, at the hands of lawyers and judges rather than ranchers and cowboys.

You're probably right about the gov going after him through the courts and legal harassment. But this battle is showing us that we are not alone and we can take on the government. More people will come the next time.

The Connecticut gun grab law is another one that got people going. Slowly more people are seeing, and more importantly acting, on what is going on. People are not buying guns in record numbers because it's blue skies and unicorns with Obama.

What really happened is the connection that was made regarding dirt harry and his son’s deals with the chinese and dolar farms. That would have looked bad. I spoke with my mother in Pittsburgh today and she hadn’t even heard about the standoff. The only news they had all week was the 16 yr old that stabbed all the kids in Maurraysville.
