Sounds like the way the Lord jammed Pharoah’s chariot wheels.
There’s been a lot of confusion issuing out of this conflict. Some people are claiming that Uncle Sam had the right to lease out the lands. Others are saying that’s a blasted lie or that discriminatory terms were applied to the Bundy situaion. Some kind of scoreboard pointing out who claimed what and why would ultimately be helpful. And why has Bundy had no luck in the courts — if he’s got lousy legal representation that ought to be fixed.
This was a weird little battle almost any way it could be put.
Whether Bundy’s cattle were on public land is a separate issue but it provided a pretext to take property and business.
The issue is that a man was almost thrown off his property at gun point and dispossessed of his business at gun point so that another business may benefit.
Without exercising our inherent rights protected by the 2nd Amendment this legally conducted criminality would have succeeded.
This is not complex.
The GD feds and BLM and the rest of these government hired guns should be helping farmers and ranchers, by bringing in seed, water whenever possible and actually help us Americans who produce things we eat and use.
The government BLM, Rangers and the rest should not running around with sidearms, AR15's, tasers, dogs in brand new tax paid 4x4, while making Americans trespassers on their own GD soil. That's bull shit no matter how you dice it up.
And most should understand there are people out here willing to fight them and die if necessary to push these arrogant controlling government assholes back to the east coast.
