Sorry, this guy misses the biggest point of all. Who owns the land? The US Government does. As the owner, it has the right to decide how that land is to be used ... PERIOD. Anything else is turning our backs on private property rights.

Of course the federal government owns the land and has the right to make the rules.

But why such a show of force over cattle and not illegals? The latter causes exponentially more damage to the land. Both are trespassers.

How can the US government exercise private property rights?

The US Government cannot be ‘private’.

Neither can it have rights - it has enumerated powers.

Yup. I just can’t get into supporting this guy who decided he was going to ‘gibsmedat’ years before the habitat was ever decided. Should’ve paid his grazing fees back in 1993, rather than do some spurious “I personally negate these laws by fiat!” type of thing.

WE THE PEOPLE own the land and they are supposed to be our servants. You know when you are confronted with trumped up excuses for heavy handed action. What the hell are they going to do with all the prairie land? Let it revert back to high grass, weeds and brush. If that ‘gasoline’ catches fire it will destroy the turtles and everything else. This is the lame-brained government every time. Just like starving all the calves because the idiots do not know what in the hell they are doing. They have their heads in a place where the sun does not shine. I suspect this is a contrived false flag where they want a confrontation to begin. This just might be where the insurrection begins.

You’ve been on every thread the past two days defending this corrupt administration. You’ve got all your little talking points in a row don’t you? This is all about making more corrupt money for Harry Reid and you know it. It will not stop here, as the man in the video explains. They intend to run every rancher off “public” land (which you keep claiming they own) and then buy him out with our tax dollars. At what point are you willing to stop them? When they come knocking at your door? Sorry pal, it will be too late by then and you will have helped them in their mission, so there will be no one left to help you.

“Anything else is turning our backs on private property rights”

Well actually it would be turning our backs on govt property rights. Which is a good thing. No state should have 80-90% of its land owned by the Federal govt. The Constitution never said that new states joing the union had to donate 80% of their land mass to the Federal govt. Its time for a chanbe.
