I think an important battle was won here by the freedom loving people. It has far reaching implications. We need to reflect on what we did here and why is was righteous.

1. 200 armed, gear queer JBT appear for basically ONE rancher defying a court order is perceived by freedom loving people as a huge provocation and overkill (fortunately not literally). So this was a “wake up” call for many people who wouldn't have cared otherwise. So on this one item alone, the government starts off stupid and heavy-handed.

2. The peoples' response. So MANY went to Nevada. They quickly outnumbered the 200 feds. That made the optics for the government look horrible in an election year. Even when your an Obamass kissing toady, THAT many people standing up to armed thugs has an appeal to Americans based on our culture of rooting for the little guy. Very powerful thing to see, thousands of people risking their lives and prosperity to defy what they perceive to be grave wrong and affront to Liberty.

3. We prayed for God's help. Do NOT overlook this aspect. Not now or in the future. As St Paul said in Romans, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

4. The whole world was watching. Read the British press. Read the posted comments. You would be amazed! The government knew, too. And certain countries foreign press would LOVE to turn this on Obama, given Syria and the Ukraine, for example. Again, optics. Election year. Power versus innocence. Think Alinsky.

5. By ignoring this, ignoring the IRS scandals, ignoring Benghazi, Fast and Furious, voter fraud, etc, etc, the media loses more and more prestige, and whatever viewers they have left.

Do not ignore the power of my number 1 above. When when I showed the pictures to even Low Information Voters, they were furious. There is something visceral about it when people see what appears to be heavily armed forces lined up against American civilians. People DO NOT want any more Wacos. The government actually really stepped on their cranks with that one.

**When when I showed the pictures to even Low Information Voters, they were furious.**

Yesterday an estimated 200K people showed up for a victory rally for the UCONN basketball teams. Wonder how many of them cared one wit, or knew about Bunkerville, NV?

The volume of those ‘protesters’ blocked I-15 in both directions. When they started showing up, the BLM shut down the road. Backup for over 6 miles in each direction.

Thanks for your cogent comments!
