War on the West: Why More Bundy Standoffs Are Coming
15 April 2014
The recent standoff between the BLM and rancher Cliven Bundy is a symptom of the exasperation of citizens in the Western states over the federal government's massive and oppressive footprint affecting all aspects of their lives.

Our post 17 is a must-read.
The Hage case is proof the BLM is out of control and needs to be reined in.
What is disgusting is the near total silence from the GOP in DC and in Nevada.
Between Bundy and the Lerner emails, the GOP has been handed a gold mine to hammer the Dems, Obama and Holder with.
But, they are at a conference to figure out how to fight the REAL enemy, the TEA Party.
And the Nevada GOP is too busy burning the platform planks dealing with social issues.
Spit.

Well, its not over, Reid told NBCs Nevada affiliate KRNV on Monday, April 14. We cant have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So its not over.
I find this statement absolutely chilling. The way it is phrased, he is not speaking of Bundy or his family, he is delineating a specific "class" or type of American. He sees this class of "an American people" that are lawbreakers because they won't follow the edicts of the federal government.
He is no champion of the law. If he was, he would be fighting for the enforcement of the immigration laws, etc. He is using the "violate the law" language but what he really means is these people won't do what the government has told them to do.
His words clearly convey the message that there is a class of people out there that cannot be allowed to walk around free because they will not bend to the yoke of the federal will. They will not kowtow to federal rule so they much be stopped.
The fact that he characterizes this class of people with the descriptor "American" also tells us something very significant: he believes in an America where the people do what they are told by the government, and he will not tolerate a people who dare to defy that authority based the tenets of real American values such as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This is the kind of man that would order a militarized police force to obey fire on patriots who are merely upholding their beliefs in the Constitution and moral justice in spite of federal rules and regulations.
Plus, he's clearly as corrupt as a $3 bill.

This militarization of the BLM is beyond ridiculous.As I recall this began under the stinkin' Clinton regime. At least that's the first I knew of it.
