A plant from the government will fire the first shot at the police. Just sayin’....
If the government can take years to help Veterans, then they can take years to work through this peacefully.
Their supposedly "Constitutional" theory about their "right" to claim land they do not own is laughable.
Anyone who thinks this is a hill to die on is a mark.
IT IS NOT FEDERAL LAND.
They have the wrong skin color.
Yep, just like in Waco and Ruby Ridge.
The same hate-filled trolls who infested the comments sections during the Bundy ranch incident are showing up again in the comments sections in the MSM articles/sites on this one. Sometimes they are even saying exactly the same thing. Such as calling the ranchers who lease federal lands ‘welfare queens’ and other identical phrasing. Odd. Who hires them?
There is a desperate need to investigate the BLM and its land deals, among other things.
Maybe this will bring attention to them. During the Bundy standoff one real estate agent had a YouTube video concerning his researches -— he was just looking for land to buy/sell. He found one ten-acre piece in the middle of the desert -— no structures on it, no water -— that the BLM bought for $700,000 from some business entity that he then could not trace.
So if ‘Occupy’ could get all that happy admiring coverage, why not these guys?
Never mind.
Yes, actually it is. Denying it - even in all caps - doesn’t change the fact.
Neither should have Waco...
Go back to sleep.
The Constitution is pretty clear. The Feds were never supposed to maintain control of lands or structures beyond those that are necessary for them to perform the functions enumerated in the Constitution. READ THE FEDERALIST. Control of land is ABSOLUTE CONTROL. Jurisdiction is POWER. Central power is exactly what the Constitution was trying to PREVENT.
The problem is that the feds control far too much land.
In the case of federal lands, the feds themselves are the welfare queens who hold land that produces no revenue. If the land were in private hands it might be productive in the sense that it produces revenue.
Unfortunately, a lot of people believe the news media, Hildy.
I think slime bucket Ron Wyden is behind these false news reports.
He, Merkley and the Gov. governor need to go.
Actually, it is not because its mere existence as de facto Federal lands without a need to fulfill Constitutional duties is clearly unlawful. The patriots in Nevada and Oregon are doing a great service by focusing national attention on this seldom considered issue.
As long as the Feds maintain a tight perimeter, most of these guys will get very tired of playacting as frontiersmen after a few weeks.
A political solution is preferable and there is at least one candidate for president who wants to sell off these BLM lands or turn them back over to the states.
Depends on who is better at handling snake bites and giant spiders.
