Well Sugar, it's viral now:)

Smile, you're on Free Republic!

IMHO this is some very good reporting on what occurred and very little writer's bias can be observed.

Which means the reporter will probably be fired shortly

make that “first aid,” not just “first.”

Is there any real purpose for the Federal Government to own as much land as they do especially in the Western States? In the east most land is either private or state owned. Perhaps the fed should divest it’s self of this excess land via auctions with the proceeds going to retire national debt. Couldn’t some politician at the national level run on this?

This post is so important that it deserves to be a thread of its own.

Its beautiful to see the Feds pulling back for now. However we know from experience that the leftists in this Government will always keep trying to exert total control over “We the People.” They will never believe as our founders did that common men can govern themselves.

Soooo mysterious the lightning-fast behavioral change occaisioned by injecting the name Harry Reid into the equation, eh?

IMHO, the absolute worst outcome would be if the BLM backing down got Harry off the hook. We should all be fighting to keep his involvement in the headlines as long as possible. Gosh, maybe even get some dimwit in Congress to look into it.

I have vague memory of meeting you and Bill on a West Seattle hillside where Michelle Malkin and several other Freepers were congregated for BBQ.

Was that you and Bill?

[Billthedrill]

Was that the pig thing? Oh, dear, yes, that was me... I disavow any knowledge of what else went on that day, especially since our host broke out his, er, arsenal...

[Publius]

Both Billthedrill and I were at FReeper "Seattle's" house, but Michelle wasn't there. She was at the first meeting of the Puget Sound Chapter at Ivar's Acres of Clams in June 1998 when she covered it for the Seattle Times.

[Publius]

Not the pig thing. The salmon, moose kielbasa and oyster thing.

WTF?

"Both Billthedrill and I were at FReeper "Seattle's" house, but Michelle wasn't there"

BS. I was there. I met her there.

You're just coverin':)

[Billthedrill]

I wasn’t there either. It was my evil twin. Really. You know, the guy into guns and beer and radical Constitutional politics...oh, wait a minute. OK, yeah, it was me.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Correcting myself of a typo I made.

[Publius]

I honestly don’t remember Michelle being at Seattle’s house that afternoon. But maybe I’m having a senior moment.

Generic. It has been making the rounds for years.

"If that's the case, the feds can do this to any of us, they can ruin our businesses and take our property"

What's next for the feds? Militarize the DMV? You go in to pay your registration, and they will have cubicle snipers pointing guns at you. Then they will sick their DMV attack dogs on you, tackle you and taze you if you don't surrender your car to them? This makes as much sense as having the BLM militarized.

And the BLM is completly out of control. These federal agencies should not be militarized.

This all really started with the government shutdown

The fed agencies in D.C. were WAY OUT OF LINE. They put barricades around the WWII memorialand other memorials. They tried to shut the roads down and bullied people. They attempted to shut down the ocean.

They have no clue what the Constitution is about.
