“Years ago, I used to have 52 neighboring ranchers,” Bundy said. “I’m the last man standing. How come? Because BLM regulated these people off the land and out of business.”

They are spending tens of millions of dollars to confiscate a few hundred cows that will be sold for well under a million dollars to pay off grazing fees.

At least, that's the federal government's story.

Face it. This is a show of force by the Federal government. To let the proles know who holds the power and who they should fear.

I'm not sure that I am sympathetic to the cause of the rancher. I don't believe that I've heard the truth from either side. But the total overkill by the BLM has me watching the bigger issue of who answers to who.

There is no way that this will end well.
