All true, and as John Hinderaker pointed out on his Powerline post from yesterday, just because Bundy doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on, he still deserves our sympathy. While there is probably no direct nexus between the solar power project and the Bundy’s problems, there is no question that the BLM is implementing a scheme that will drive every last rancher off of the land, and free up the resource for other, better connected interests.
Bundy’s situation is not dissimilar from those living in anti-gun states who all of a sudden find themselves owning “illegal assault rifles”. The people didn’t change, but our ruling elites managed to change the rules to make a few million instant felons.
Neither represent the rule of law. Both are examples of mere power politics and both the gun grabbers, and the land grabbers are acting for the exact same reason: because they can.
Cliven Bundy can certainly be forgiven for losing a few marbles under this level of relentless pressure. The question is, will we be forgiven for standing idly by and watching the smooth talkers dismantle both liberty and the rule of law that upholds it?
RFesearch Wayne Hage in Tonapah, Nevada & find out how many years he fought with the corrupt BLM and how much money he WON in Federal court.
last I knew, they still haven’t paid him and interest is accruing every day. Instead, they go after Bundy.
Post of the day and it is only 10 am here. Thank you so much.
In politics there are no coincidences.
“Bundys situation is not dissimilar from those living in anti-gun states who all of a sudden find themselves owning illegal assault rifles. The people didnt change, but our ruling elites managed to change the rules to make a few million instant felons.”
Bingo. CT did not, according to the gov’t, violate the rules - just changed them to require registration, and are baffled that people would rather be felons than comply. Likewise Bundy: BLM changed the rules according to the rules, and don’t take kindly to people refusing to follow the new rules even though they’re designed to be discouraging of previously liberties.
