You got that right!
Somebody should have warned him not to beam down to a Cliven Bundy planet thread wearing a Commie Red shirt...
(And I keep thinking that with NSA being so nosy, Black Helicopters will be hovering over my house any day. I will watch for odd things...odd sounds...and odd people... I mean, Slimy Harry hails from Searchlight which is about 90 miles south of here...)
My pleasure, Skinky!
“Pretty?” I hope that Mrs. Grass posted that comment.
But seriesly, it really is a pretty lightning graphic. The tree didn’t appreciate the grandeur, but it’s too late for that now.
Why? He was ZOTTAGE in our cottage (bait) for quite a while, and JimRob himself gave him the heave-ho.
And how do you do? It is nice to meet you. I do not recall seeing you before, but I’m old. I forget stuff.
;-)
I looked at the posting history,
Seems LouBudvis was fond of quoting FedGov case law.
Well, Lou, ole Buddy, it boils down to this. Do you believe that legitimate governing power devolves from above? or from its legitimate roots in the God Given Rights of “We The People?”
For those of us who remain here, our choice and belief is pretty obvious.
For your own personal sake, you had better hope and pray to the God that gave US those rights that we prevail.
Lou appeared to be pro-government, and without any concept of what the Declaration of Independence represents:
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable 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 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.
For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."~Thomas Jefferson
He was an educated fool. He incapable of seeing that what is legal is often not just.
Levin's opening segment from yesterday brilliantly laid out the abuse of power by those in government against Bundy.
What LouBudvis and other Statist loving fools don't see is that we are now living in, as Levin says, a post-Constitutional time.
The law is being used by those in power to bludgeon political enemies -- that is evil.
For all practical purposes they are the "civilian national security force" Barack promised to build.
You know, I hadn't thought of it that way. Now that you've posted it, I think you may very well be correct. Interesting (and chilling).
Bundy is important because he is the LAST rancher in Clark County. If he falls, other ranchers in other counties, in other states, will be (are) at risk.
If the Second Revolution is to start, let it start here, where there are more cowboys than lawyers.

I like “SKINKY!” It has a certain whatever-that-French-phrase is...
Besides...it makes skinks a little more fluffy... ;o]
"The origin of all civil government, justly established, must be a voluntary compact, between the rulers and the ruled; and must be liable to such limitations, as are necessary for the security of the absolute rights of the latter; for what original title can any man or set of men have, to govern others, except their own consent?
To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at a more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man a right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience."Alexander Hamilton
