Former Labor secretary Reich blasts Bundy
Fox News Politics ^ | April 22, 2013

Former Clinton Labor secretary Robert Reich, now a prominent author and commentator, blasted Bundy on his Facebook page on Monday.

“In what world is Cliven Bundy, the 68-year-old rancher who refuses to pay his tab for grazing cattle on federal lands, a patriot?” Reich wrote. “He drapes himself in the American flag but says ‘I don’t recognize the United States government as even existing,’ while attracting a collection of thugs with assault rifles in the Nevada desert to force the Bureau of Land Management to back down from a court-ordered confiscation of his cattle.”

The comment from Reich, who now teaches at the University of California, Berkeley, comes after Nevada Democratic Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, last week called Bundy’s supporters “domestic terrorists.”

Bundy had resisted efforts by Bureau of Land Management officials to seize his cattle, a move taken by federal officials as part of a long-running fight over unpaid grazing fees.

Hundreds of states’ rights protesters, some of them armed, showed up earlier this month to support Bundy. BLM officials ended up backing down, citing safety concerns....

He drapes himself in the American flag but says ‘I don’t recognize the United States government as even existing,’

That is an outright lie. Bundy said nothing of the sort.

Reich is no more than he ever was: a greasy, stinking apologist for federal abuse and oppression. He and Berkeley deserve one another.

The desperation, of former and present federals, is spreading. They are sensing Americans have no fear of them.

Why should they? The armed citizens of this country are the largest army on Earth.

I just can’t wait for all the Clinton retreads to come out of the woodwork.

Well Robert, as usual you conflate your assumptions to pretend an invalid point.

The methods by which the “Federal Government” decides just which dirt is “Federal land” are quite open to debate.

Taking an opposing view of those methods DOES NOT make Bundy unAmerican.

Americans are the wisest of the wise and yes the armed citizens of this country are the largest army on Earth. This fact has kept our nation safe till the spread of nuclear weapons. Nixon bragged at one point, he could make one phone call and 80 percent of the population of the United States would disappear. Have to believe those in power currently have the same or a greater plan. Now what does that have to do with your question and comment?

I will say this ... Watch the movements of those holding power and should they all leave at one time (vacate the nation) then their day of destruction upon the citizens will be close at hand. Had prayed this cup of vinegar would not touch my Children's and Grandchildren's lips. Currently I see those odds at greater than 50/50 and the cup of vinegar is being pushed ever closer to the People.

“Do they make horses that Reich can ride? Gunz he can shoot?”

The American Free market can, indeed, supply a horse Reich can ride. Google Amazon for “Hobby Horse”.

If a real, live horse for the Giftzwerg Reich is required, there is always someone willing to sell a Shetland pony or perhaps a miniture horse might be a better match.

Maybe a dwarf “Silky Pony”?

As for an appropriate gun for Giftzwerg Reich, I suggest a small water pistol or a cap pistol.

I am so tired of these assholes!

These are the same dumbasses who are cheering on, encouraging and supporting the uprisings in Libya, Egypt and Syria, but cussing and deriding Americans for wanting to push back against OUR government!

Screw them! Screw every damn one of these hypocritical asses!

What would be the point of a nuclear attack on the people of the United States? Where would they get the taxes and business customers they rely on? Also, wouldn’t it make vast swathes of North America uninhabitable for many years? And didn’t someone recently say that would cause a world-wide ice age?

The height-challenged villain in Wild Wild West was a giant of a man compared to Robert Reichhhhhhhhh.

Why doesn’t Sheriff Reich saddle up his miniature Shetland pony & challenge Bundy to his face (using a periscope)?

2nd, each of us knows there are weapons beyond comprehension. The world seeks large land masses for re-population and easing of their land mass usage. Weapons (nuclear weapons) are there to do the necessary job without massive fallout and making the ground uninhabitable for countless centuries, otherwise Las Vegas would not exist. Would our leaders do such a thing? Maybe if they were moslems they might? My thought are scary on this matter. I do not hold the solutions for keeping something of this nature from taking place. Will it happen as I've typed. Maybe not. After all we trust our leaders, don't we? /s
