Following remarks Senate Majority leader Harry Reid made at the University of Nevada, Reno on Monday, the Nevada Democrat told Reno's KRNV TV his thoughts on the cattle controversy in Gold Butte. "Well, it's not over. We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it's not over," Reid said.

There is no question that there were a lot of things going on down there with breaking the law," Reid said. "And that is not over yet. We can't let that continue. So I'm sure it is not the end of it."

Reid was confronted earlier at UNR during the Q & A time after Reid's speech about the cattle issue by Kim Kollman a former teacher at Truckee Meadows Community College, The Reno Gazette Journal reported:

Citing Reuters News Service, the Drudge Report and another website, Kollman asked Reid if he was in collusion with his son and the "Communist Chinese" to forcibly remove Bundy from his property to help bring more solar energy to Southern Nevada. Kollman said Reid was "papering over" the question of possible collusion.

Reid replied, "That is an easy question to paper over. Do you know what you just said? Please read something else. And that is how I'm going to respond to that question."

The crowd applauded Reid. Kollman then asked Reid, "What are you afraid of, sir?" before Kollman was asked by an organizer to sit down, which he did.

Reid was critical of BLM's inability to conduct a successful operation in Bunkersville saying, "The BLM shouldn’t have started this if they couldn’t develop a plan to finish it successfully.

One thing I hate about environmentalist is how they are hellbent upon destroying other people’s livelihood.

They can’t deal with the fact that the earth is filled with humans. If theses people can’t deal with that they should remove themselves from the earth instead of trying to remove others.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Voting from the . . . umm . . . bridges?

[The_Media_never_lie]

Implied. Mexican people can violate our laws any time they want by walking across our border, but Americans, unless you are in Congress, must obey our laws.

We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it's not over," Reid said.

Poor Harry will be hearing his words over and over and over in the coming days, weeks, months and years...

[Elsie]

Reid represents the all-powerful government...

Where's Porter Rockwell when ya need him?

[Elsie]

Maybe Reid and his son should be prosecuted.

There is a LOT of sand out in them deserts...

When is armed revolt by U.S. citizens appropriate?

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,

 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

 

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,

 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --

 

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,

 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,

 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,

 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

 

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;

 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,

 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

 

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design

 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,

 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--

 

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;

 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

 

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,

 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

 

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Whatever else comes out of this, Reid needs to go. I cannot imagine how he keeps being elected when it is obvious how corrupt he is. The other one that needs to go is the Clark County Commissioner that said if people were going to support the Bundys they better have funeral plans. This sort of craziness from politicians who claim they are doing “public service” is just over the top.

"Some ranchers have already voluntarily relinquished their grazing permits to the government in exchange for compensation from third parties, and we believe many more would sell their permit interest to the government and retire the associated allotments from grazing," NPLGC reports on its Web site, www.publiclandsranching.org.

Normal folks call this BRIBERY.

Third parties gets the mess off of Pilate's hands.

[Elsie]

The British are coming!

[Elsie]

How odd.

It's a shiny object for FReepers!

To get all the ones likely to stand up to them to expose themselves ...

[Elsie]

Yaeh!

What you just said!

[Elsie]

They have MY picture from Jarbidge!

[JayAr36]

If anyone deserves prosecution it is the whole Roid (not a mistake)family. The question to pursue is how does the Roid Empire profit from gaining the Bundy property?

[Elsie]

Awkward!

[Elsie]

Prosecute??

Many people feel that ranchers and farmers are insignificant. The fact that they produce food seems to escape these people.

Many think laws written years ago to support agriculture; grazing leases, water rights priorities, etc. are some sort of welfare program and do not realize our ancestors understood that people who fed us needed to be supported. Many think the payouts to farmers regarding crops grown or not grown are wrong as well, most of that came about due to government regulations putting farmers and ranchers out of business.

Anyone that makes a living from agriculture, especially in the West can tell you for certain how scary it is to hear “we are from the government and we are here to help you” since they realize how often that means you are about to be put out of business.

Another ancestor of Cliven Bundy, Myron Abbott[54], was also an original member of the "United Order," serving as the second counselor to Bunker who was made bishop of the community. Abbott served as a teacher of the workers, and his son William married Leavitt's daughter, Mary Jane[56] After divorcing one of his wives, Laura Josephine Allen, Abbott left Ogden Canyon to join his brother in law Bunker (through his older sister Emily) in forming the "United Order" at Mesquite.

Perhaps this is an attempt to take out Romney 2016 in a roundabout way...
