Having bled and sweated for land that you don’t own, but that for a fee the BLM will let you use doesn’t let you not pay that fee. If the cause is Bundy then that cause will fail.
I say the cause is federal abuse of power which includes the Endangered Species Act, Corps of Engineers, EPA, IRS, BLM, BATF, etc.
If Bundy is the cause then it is a lost cause. He will lose and we with him. He’s a sinking ship. Go find those other ranchers put out of business over the years and you’ve got a cause. That’s the way to win this. Broaden it, expand it, show a long term pattern of abuse and you win this, big time. Bundy’s a sucker’s bet.
First off that land belonged to no one, lets get that straight, secondly the BLM and Environmental nut jobs stepped in and just said ok this now ours...what you fail to grasp the Federals will not stop taking till they get slapped back. The Courts are not the answer as they will just tie it up for years in legalize BS...this is the time to trade blood for blood.
You don't seem to understand Western water rights. They take that stuff VERY seriously out there.
I see where you are going, but most people are not that sophisticated.
They need symbols. Bundy, even if flawed (not saying he is, because I read so many conflicting opinions), seems to be a symbol that is readily understood by those who would rather watch sports on TV than study the Consitution, and our loss of freedoms.
Sorry about the run-on sentence. Too tired to do proper editing.
