It’s gotta start somewhere.
Moses said “ Let my cattle go!”
After all, we're all just property of the government, and once we've outlived our use to the government, it's time for us to be "retired, right Grace?

“A ragtag band of anti-government militants...”
I call BS on this one. These folks are NOT anti-government. They ARE anti-criminal-government.
They ARE anti-over-reaching-government.
They ARE anti-senseless-bureaucracy.
They ARE anti-intrusive-government.
Get things back within the confines of the Constitution, and these folks will be content to busy themselves with things other than facing down a government invasion of a single rancher who (fedgov believes) owes a debt to the gubmint.
There were trouble with the Tories in the first revolution. There people are no different from them and should be treated the same as the old Tories were
Speaking of Reid. I noticed he is not calling for hearings.
What is Reid hiding that he does not want hearings to uncover?
The leviathan that is Fedgov could have easily utilized lot of nasty bureaucratic methods to get their way, they chose SWAT teams.
The “Right-Wing Militias” did not set whatever chain of events (present and future) in motion, a bunch of men with badges, titles, and gear did.

GOOD one!
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness; That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.Next these pro-“government” drones will be treating George Santayana, never mind the Founding Fathers, like Unpersons.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. …
It sounds like the opening line from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
I can guess the ages of those in charge...MY age. Lol.
Reid owns several of the parcels surrounding the Bundy ranch, through an LLC.
Funny they never mention the Hutaree when they rant about the dangerous right wing militias.
All were acquitted and the leader nominated and elected Constable of his home town.
Enough people are on there skewering the article. There are a few liberal drones on there with hollow defenses (the usual “Bundy broke the law” sans specifics), but they look like fools in the face of it all.
Grace,....that’s a good thing.

*************
I think he is vulnerable on this, at least at this moment. The whole thing was shut down almost immediately after The Reids names came up in this matter. Yes, the Bundys’ support from all over America was a factor, but the *utter* abandonment of this intended massacre when Reid’s name came to light is telling.
When Black Panthers go about armed, it is nothing but cool.
Reid is not denying anything, either.
Methinks Grace is vying for a seat in the CPUSA.
Apparently, Reid is oblivious to 95% of what Obama has done in the past five years (and before). Between violating the law, refusing to enforce the law as written, unilaterally rewriting the law, and trampling the Constitution, there is a whole lot for Reid to look into with Obama before he worries about grazing fees (if we're willing to pretend that Reid actually cares about the rule of law).
Right on, Brother.
No… we won’t be generals or commanders, or even high powered staffers. We will likely still be Majors, passed over twice, sitting in dimly-lit offices in the basement of the pentagon, with longer than regulation haircuts, rumpled uniforms, unkempt mustaches and a bottle of scotch in the bottom right-hand drawer of our desks. We will be the most powerful men in the Army because we will be Majors getting ready to retire with nothing to lose by telling you exactly what we think, consequences be damned…We will be the most dangerous men in the Army.
