If anyone dies in this case then we’ve lost for certain. John Brown was a criminal who hurt the abolitionist cause.

Bundy is as well and will hurt our small government cause. Find those other ranchers, bring them into the light and let Bundy and his kooky beliefs fade away. Then our cause will be won.

So that the government is a giant RICO case and you win the hearts and minds of the people without firing a shot. Keep to the high ground and stay out of the mud.

Have you ever read Sun Tzu?

See what you miss is do you do you honestly think the Federal Gov will allow its self to be downsized..if so I want what you are smoking...just as in the age of the Founders reason will at some point go out the window...and use of force necessary. I was a true believer in the voting process till this last National election when Romney didn’t get a single vote in a number of NE cities...the system is rigged and your dream of a smaller Federal Gov is pie in the sky thinking.

Your video idea has all the umph of another strongly worded letter. The government has been seizing things for years—complaining after the fact doesn’t work. Stopping them in the act is something different.

If you think that Brown ultimately hurt the abolitionist cause, I beg to disagree. Polarization and radicalization are effective if you are driving for true change. Better to have 20% of the population fervently behind you than 5% with another 47% who are willing to honk horns. Hearts and minds will get you nice cards from Halmark—a willingness to die will get you a free country once again.
