Not applicable at all because we have representation.

With respect, that representation is Harry Reid.


Fair point, but we need to change that at the ballot box. I can’t stand the man and I despise his corruption and politics, but I can’t go gun him down and neither can you. That would turn us into a banana republic (even though we resemble one more each day). We won’t win back our nation by getting rid of the leaders of the left (as much as I want to say it would be a good start). We will win back our nation by voting them into the minority and out of office. If we can’t do that, the nation as we recognize it is lost.

Again, I understand the sentiments and lack of trust, but the facts seem quite clear for this specific case - it’s property rights. If the government cannot control public lands, what chance do I have of controlling my pasture? I could get a monthly check just for allowing another neighbor to cut the hay off it, but I chose to let my neighbor graze his cattle on it in return for compensation (he sprays for weeds and I get beef). That is the law.

I don’t like imminent domain laws. I think it’s a recipe for anarchy even if they say it’s for the good of the public. Why do so many want to allow Bundy to do the same thing to profit only himself? Based on his own shaky arguments about his family owning the land long ago the American Indians would be wealthy beyond belief!

But he, and his agents, can gun me down. And you.

you don’t get it the last election was rigged full of fraud and tea partiers were denied opportunity to raise funds by IRS all illegal. Obamacare passed the Supreme Court by hook or crook. No one has been prosecuted for fast and furious bengazi, irs etc etc..the rule of law is gone Obama and Holder ignore the law and Constitution Holder in contempt and continues on and on with obstruction. It won’t change till it becomes very costly to continue as is.
