I've had my own run in with the usf&w back in the early 90's.
IMO the hunger for power started in the early 90’s with the Clinton administration. The fish & wildlife as well as national parks were gradually taken over by leftists.
A good example is the national park ranger. He used to be a horse riding fellow with a chainsaw that was there to help the people and take care of the park. Today they are FLETC trained cops with little ambition and many have the attitude that the people going to the parks are destroying the habitat of the animals that live there.
They have changed from that friendly guy you invite over to your campfire to a total jerk that will sit in his cruiser and just stare at you.
The evening campfire presentations used to be fun and educational. Now many are filled with leftist eco-whacko propaganda. In about the late 90’s wife and I were at one so filled full of lies many just got up and left.
Problems like those in Oregon can be stopped by a Trump or Cruz President ridding them of managers with the leftist ideology.
The deeper issue are the lower echelon employees that were raised by leftist parents, went to leftist colleges and trained by the leftist managers. These people will be climbing the ladders, and when the Trump or Cruz is replaced by a dem, they will come back at ranchers and other private citizens with a vengeance.
To me the solution is to privatize or totally eliminate many of the federal agencies. The EPA can just be placed in the trash can, there is no need for environmental police. Their original intent never was to be police against citizens. USF&W & NPS can be privatized. Fire all the lefties in them.
