The Bundy antics are not a hill I am willing to die on. The Governments response is what I am concerned about.
I think the operatives of the Republican Party want to clean this thing up so it doesn’t interfere with politics.
GOP supporters all had a hissy fit when I was talking to them about “Operation Rescue’ some 25 or 30 years ago.
Disobeying laws even non-violently didn’t fit in with agenda of exploiting issues like abortion emotionally to win votes, but not change laws.
Martin Luther King got the same treatment from John F. Kennedy who wanted to make speeches about racism, but not change any laws because it would hurt the Democrats with the white southern vote.
The Hammonds and other farmers and ranchers have been abused and mistreated and driven out of business enough for decades, but for politics sake so the party can win the next election this issue must be ignored.
I suspect that’s why my posts on this Oregon issue always get pigeonholed in this forum as I noted in an earlier post.
