What Beck doesn’t understand is that the guilt or innocence of Bundy is irrelevant. What the episode displays for the world to see is that when dealing with a Federal Bureaucracy we have completely lost the protection of due process.
The BLM pronounces guilt. The BLM assesses the penalty. The BLM collects payment on the penalty at the point of many many guns.
Social Security pronounces they over paid a benefit 30 years age. SS assesses the penalty. SS (via Treasure) collects payment on the penalty. From a innocent third party no less.
Repeat for all of the hundreds bureaucracies that make up the unelected, unaccountable, Administrative State.
Precisely. This is about state sponsored terrorism on what is actually a mundane and modest issue.
Had there been no fed snipers, there would have been no answering militias.
It is about the life and liberty of US citizens, and that they ARE citizens, not peons.
Bundy has had more due process over the decades than some death row inmates have had. And he has lost every step of the way.
Very well said! That's a key point missed by many on the right. And not only have we lost the protection of due process, we have lost the concept of proportional response.
A guy doesn't pay his grazing fees, and he is faced with a unit of fed's dressed up like combat infantrymen. It's a sickening spectacle. The only thing missing was an Abrams tank. I suppose that will be added to the SOP for next time.
Exactly. Precisely. Nail. Head.
And the BLM has been moving the goalposts since it’s creation. The Bundy claims predate the BLM’s existence by several decades. Enough!
