Beck is 100% correct. Bundy’s alleged thinking is like OWS, i.e. ‘Since I’m a member of the public, I can do what I like on public lands.’ Follow that with his refusal to obey lawful court orders, and you have an Occupier just wearing a different jersey.
BTW, the fact he and his family paid grazing fees for DECADES to the Fed. Gov’t tells you that his a fraud. Just when did he come to this brilliant legal conclusion that the land really belonged to Nevada?
“Just when did he come to this brilliant legal conclusion that the land really belonged to Nevada?”
Probably around 1990-1993. There were folks going around telling folks that. One of them, Hage - a guy with more smarts than Bundy IMHO - lost his legal arguments in court last year (his estate, since he died), but the court also said the behavior of the BLM “shocks the conscience of the court”. It pointed out that the BLM went looking for a fight and created a problem where there did not need to be one. Another, Gardner, appealed to the 9th Circuit covering Nevada, and lost his appeal. For all its faults, the 9th Circuit actually wrote a decent opinion which can be read here:

When a corrupt Nevadan Senator decided to leverage his position and influence to enrich himself and his progeny at the expense of hard working, honest Americans?
When this same Senator and others who looked away, brought the full force of the US government and all of its offices to bear in order to destroy the livelihood of American cattlemen?
Maybe when the corrupt judges appointed by politicians "ruled" against the hard working American cattlemen?
I side with Bundy simply because the USG is corrupt to the core, including the judiciary...I don't believe they acted truthfully or legitimately in any of this...unjust rulings and unjust legislation are being used to destroy the livelihoods of Americans so that Communists in and out of Washington can enrich themselves.
