Hmm.

Oyster ranches now.

Cattle ranches next.

...Oh wait. They already tried that.

This is another real life example of the runaway government that is trampling on our liberty. The tactics used by abusing agencies in California are not exclusive to that area. They go on throughout the country and through out the government.

I think an important element to interject into the conversations surrounding the coming presidential election cycle would be whether or not any of the candidates would support criminal prosecution for abusive of authority and deny the perps government (taxpayer) paid attorneys.

The scumbags like Lois Lerner (IRS), Lisa Jackson (EPA) and Eric Holder (DOJ) that ruin lives of hones people and then retire when the heat is turned up should be living behind bars, not lives of luxury paid for by us!

I remember during Reagans term the IRS had a change of tone towards the public.
Their attitude was "we own your ass" at the time, but something Reagan
said to them had put the fear of god into them and publicly said they were
going to start respecting the public and changed their approach.

The Alphabet agencies reflect their boss, POTUS.

If the government makes it impossible to make a living, people will necessarily have to consider it an enemy of their well-being.

Huh? Can’t by Forest Service land. Do you mean next too or inside a forest?

[defconw]

In some forest areas if the place is already built you could. This was awhile ago now, so they probably changed the rules.

“When the people fear the government, you have tyranny.”

“When the government fears the people, you have liberty.”

Thank God for the Second Amendment (and the Founding Fathers).

[Georgia Girl 2]

I already consider it an enemy to my well being.

There are private residences on Forest Service-controlled land. People own the homes, but do not own the land they sit on. There are also limitations as to how much time per year you can live in them (usually less than 180-days/year). There was a big adjustment in the fees charged to have these homes on Forest Service-controlled land recently, most likely to get folks out of them, permanently.

“We were thinking about buying a property on national forest land. I am very glad we decided not to, now. “

One of the properties were we looking at when escaping Mexifornia had the access to it via federal land. No way would I trust the feds enough to sink $400K into a house on that land. I could see the time when they wouldn’t let us get to it. Especially after we were deemed terrorists by having a US flag up.

“After forcing them out of the oyster business, the government demanded they bake cakes for local gay weddings.”

Maybe the feds heard they refused to sell oysters to gays.

[defconw]

Exactly. We decided it was not worth the risk.

[Lurker]

There was a sausage maker, in San Francisco I believe, who shot a health inspector to death over this kind of harassment. No complaints, no illnesses, just a petty bureaucrat who decided to “make an example” of a guy using “unapproved” old world methods.

I cheered when I read about it.

“They go after gold panners, cattle ranchers, private property owners . . anyone who seeks to make a living outside the parameters of govt control.”

The thing that made this country great - the entrepreneurial spirit - is dying because of government controls.

We are thinking of opening 2 small businesses -but after looking into all the regulations, licenses, fees, taxes, inspections....maybe not.

[Hardens Hollow]

Sad thing is, it was the prettiest, most isolated property we found. It would’ve been ideal. But it’d be liking having a hammer hanging over our heads - and finances.

[defconw]

We managed to find a suitable place in the woods not to far from national forest, but with out all the rules. It is sad, because we, and I am sure you would have taken good care of the forest.

[Vendome]

And the Feds are wrong

[DesertRhino]

“They go after gold panners, cattle ranchers, private property owners . . anyone who seeks to make a living outside the parameters of govt control.”

That’s a fairly profound point you made.
