Bundy: Obama's Jump-the-Shark
americanthinker.com ^ | 4/16/14 | Lloyd Marcus

Posted on 04/16/2014 7:17:54 AM PDT by cotton1706

In the movie Ben-Hur, Charlton Heston was wrongly accused by government and sentenced to life in prison/slavery. Soldiers marched chained Heston along with other prisoners through the desert without food or water. Heston collapsed, unable to take another step.

Jesus was passing by with a small caravan. He walked over and gave Heston a drink of water, which gave Heston the strength to continue. Note: Heston's unfair ordeal was not over. He would endure much before his release and ultimate victory at the end of the movie.

I view the Obama administration’s BLM retreat from bullying rancher Cliven Bundy and the patriots who supported him as God giving the Tea Party movement a cool, refreshing drink of water. Rancher Bundy's battle and our battle to restore freedom and liberty in America are far from over. However, the BLM retreat was God's way of telling us to keep on fighting. The Obama regime is not all-powerful. They can be beaten when we the people say, “Heck no!”

When the embrace-our-consensus-or-die bunch tried to destroy Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson, we the people rallied around Phil and said, “Heck no!”

Who could have imagined that a humble rancher taking a stand against tyranny would inspire millions to said, “Heck no!” across America?

This is why I ignore the gloom-and-doomers who say all is lost, why continue fighting, Obama has all the power and the MSM, yada, yada, yada.

Evil is masterful at appearing all-powerful. Cultural rot is all over the airwaves. Obama rules as king with very little push-back from the GOP. The MSM has suspended all pretense of being fair and balanced. They are a wing of the Democratic Party, committed to helping Obama fundamentally transform America.

Well the stazi will be back to Mr. Bundy’s ranch in all likeliehood pretty soon. Its going to take at least one more standoff according to Sheriff Mack and Stewart Rhodes.

But lets Rather Reid first —— just to make a further statement
At the end of this video viewer is asked to pass it on to local LEO
IMO that’s where we need to start. Get the locals behind the movement!

This is a holiday weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to pull something while people aren't watching the news.

It is about STOPPING oil development.
It is about TAKING Bundy’s water for Vegas.
It is about the REIDs lining their pockets.
It damn sure ISN’T about turtles.

“It damn sure ISN’T about turtles.”

Right, the turtles were just the means to get the powerful arm of the Federal Government involved, through the usual EPA, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Americans With Disabilities Act or whatever other Act they have created to give themselves jurisdiction in violation of the 10th Amendment.

I think it is a land-swap too - ‘mitigation’ something, wasn’t that what the paper said? An exchange for land they are going to use for China/solar that was a turtle habitat/ something like that.

Indeed, brother Dawg!!!

WOOF!

“...Evil is masterful at appearing all-powerful...”

Of course it is. Deceit is a powerful weapon. But every once in a while, the curtain gets pulled back, and good, decent people open their eyes... and show up - instead of running off to some other place to wait for evil to end (it doesn’t).

That’s the irony of it... make a habit of running away, and sooner or later there WILL be no place to run to, because it follows you.

Lessons to be learned from this.

My local Sheriff is a strong Dem.
Though they already had military style armored vehicle they just accepted one of those monster ones as if we need one here?
Domestic problem in the neighborhood resulted in a response of about 50 swat team members, 2 command centers, remote controlled robot and a helicopter.
All for a guy sitting in his garage threatening to kill himself, alone.
All this before the new super chariot.

How can it be a jump the shark moment when the standoff receives little if any news coverage except on Fox, Reason, etc? And the coverage it receives in the MSM only focuses on painting Bundy and the supporters who showed up as dangerous wing nuts.

The criminals are in charge.
Ayn Rand got it right. We are no longer protected from the corrupt, the corrupt is protected from us.
