EXCLUSIVE--TEXAS AG ABBOTT TO BLM: 'COME AND TAKE IT'
Breitbart ^ | April 22, 2014 | By Bob Price

Posted on 04/22/2014 1:56:16 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

After Breitbart Texas reported on the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) intent to seize 90,000 acres belonging to Texas landholders along the Texas/Oklahoma line, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott questioned the BLM’s authority to take such action.

“I am about ready,” General Abbott told Breitbart Texas, “to go to go to the Red River and raise a ‘Come and Take It’ flag to tell the feds to stay out of Texas.”

Gen. Abbott sent a strongly-worded letter to BLM Director Neil Kornze, asking for answers to a series of questions related to the potential land grab.

“I am deeply concerned about the notion that the Bureau of Land Management believes the federal government has the authority to swoop in and take land that has been owned and cultivated by Texas landowners for generations,” General Abbott wrote. “The BLM’s newly asserted claims to land along the Red River threaten to upset long-settled private property rights and undermine fundamental principles—including the rule of law—that form the foundation of our democracy. Yet, the BLM has failed to disclose either its full intentions or the legal justification for its proposed actions. Decisions of this magnitude must not be made inside a bureaucratic black box.”

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart Texas, General Abbott said, “This is the latest line of attack by the Obama Administration where it seems like they have a complete disregard for the rule of law in this country ...And now they’ve crossed the line quite literally by coming into the State of Texas and trying to claim Texas land as federal land. And, as the Attorney General of Texas I am not going to allow this.”

Texas AG to the BLM, “Molon Labe”

I disagree with your formulation.

This is no time to be using Greek to express a Texas/Oklahoma sentiment in good old Southwestern English phraseology, namely:

"If you think you got the hosses, bud, come try to take it !!"

Great timing BLM. This will take the eyes off the legal situation in Nevada and appear to be a continuation of Federal land grabs.

You might have had some sympathy with your legal argument against the Bundys, but now you’re messing with Texas.

Probably a couple rogue agents out of the Cincinatti office dreamed this up.

"Somebody, somewhere must know what they want the land for."

Agenda 21. The waterways are to be the gov't owned corridors of connections between other gov't lands and heavily restricted lands to promote BioDiversity.

Funny I always thought government owning large areas of land was called socialism/communism.

And I thought a president arming a government agency like an army and using it against American citizens was a violation of the Constitution and Posse Comitatus.What this goon did against Bundy was send a army against an American citizen for a civil matter. that is a violation of Posse Comitatus and calls for imprisonment of Obama as it is a crime

We are here in Louisiana. if they do that to Texas we will come to support Texas as the cowboys did to support Bundy

I had the idea to do a cartoon of “Despicable Reid” by putting Harry Reid’s face on the body of the cartoon character. C’mon Freepers?
