Cliven Bundy and me: His treatment by the BLM reminds me of my experience with the IRS

[ fyi: Two years back I used the Congress funded taxpayer advocate service. What a mistake — They only dragged the problem on for another year and gave me false advice. Thanks for nothing congress.

You are on your own when ANY fed agency targets you. ]

You are almost better off dropping off the grid if government ever targets you, get a dark tan, change your last name to something that ends in “ez” and learn enough spanish to fill out forms in espanol...

[ This discussion thread just caught my eye...Does anyone here really know why Glen Beck had a problem with all those folks coming to Bundy’s defense, both armed and not armed???

I mean really???

I wonder what/where Beck’s threshold, or line in the sand really is??? ]

It makes me uneasy...

On one side I wonder if it is because of some insider knowledge that Glenn has that the FedGov is actually the one “Itching for a fight” and Glenn feels he needs to diffuse it...

On the other side, I have to wonder if Glenn has been told by someone higher up not to get involved in this otherwise they will destroy him...

And on the other side maybe he thinks we should be playing it safe until the results of the 2014 election...

Or he has just gone crazy by drinking too much of his Ghandi/MLK kool-aide...

No wonder people feel they have to come against them with guns.

When the government gets like this, what else can you do?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,

that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,

deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,

it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,

laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,

as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;

and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,

than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design

to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,

and to provide new Guards for their future security.--

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;

and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,

all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
