EXCLUSIVE--TEXAS AG ABBOTT TO BLM: 'COME AND TAKE IT'

Breitbart ^ | April 22, 2014 | By Bob Price

[Jim Robinson]

After Breitbart Texas reported on the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) intent to seize 90,000 acres belonging to Texas landholders along the Texas/Oklahoma line, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott questioned the BLM’s authority to take such action.

“I am about ready,” General Abbott told Breitbart Texas, “to go to go to the Red River and raise a ‘Come and Take It’ flag to tell the feds to stay out of Texas.”

Gen. Abbott sent a strongly-worded letter to BLM Director Neil Kornze, asking for answers to a series of questions related to the potential land grab.

“I am deeply concerned about the notion that the Bureau of Land Management believes the federal government has the authority to swoop in and take land that has been owned and cultivated by Texas landowners for generations,” General Abbott wrote. “The BLM’s newly asserted claims to land along the Red River threaten to upset long-settled private property rights and undermine fundamental principles—including the rule of law—that form the foundation of our democracy. Yet, the BLM has failed to disclose either its full intentions or the legal justification for its proposed actions. Decisions of this magnitude must not be made inside a bureaucratic black box.”

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart Texas, General Abbott said, “This is the latest line of attack by the Obama Administration where it seems like they have a complete disregard for the rule of law in this country ...And now they’ve crossed the line quite literally by coming into the State of Texas and trying to claim Texas land as federal land. And, as the Attorney General of Texas I am not going to allow this.”

There is no legal way that the BLM could have any claim to anything in Texas.

Texas was a separate republic before joining the US.

Does anyone in the Obummer regime have the slightest knowledge of history?

Once a thug, always a thug.

It’s been my experience that Texans by Choice seem to appreciate the state more than those born here. Maybe they just don’t like to brag.

Maybe cause we have the Internet and video on smart phones.

in the 1990’s democrat President Clinton sent tanks ,helicopters, machine guns , and GAS against American citizens and burned close 100 of them alive in Waco Texas. most of the murdered were women and children in their own homes.ClinTon gave the order and burned them alive. the media lied and blamed the victims

The media said Reno was responsible . No it was Clinton. the media said they were crazy Christians that deserved to die. No another lie

Big money.

Congress can vote to eliminate the entire BLM.

It is TIME to DownSize DC! BLM is a good place to start the process. Including eliminating their SWAT Teams.

[JRandomFreeper]

The Red River Boundary Compact, which is the controlling authority, has detailed procedures for resolving 'boundary disputes'. Not a damn bit of it includes the BLM.

Abbott will soon have explained to them how the cow ate the cabbage.

And if he needs someone to punctuate his point, I'm sure Texas will provide them.

“Posse Obamatatus”, I’m sure he would prefer this term.

Good one. Let that go viral over the Internet

I was not born in Texas but was conceived here. My mom had to move in with my father's family up north to Pennsylvania after he was killed while serving in WWII, a few months before my birth. Since life begins at conception, I consider myself a native Texan. On the other hand, it wasn't until a few decades later that I actually relocated to what I always thought of as home.

I'll add that while I was a kid in elementary school, a little girl whose father was transferred from the Beaumont area to Pennsylvania absolutely charmed me. She was so sweet, well-mannered and had that unforgettable, delightful Texas accent. She brought in a little Texas flag for me and I used to wave it around during recess on the playground. I knew that by accident of birth I'll just have to live with Pennsylvania on my BC but Texas was, is and always will be in my DNA.

" the cow ate the cabbage.."

Is that some type of gun range competition?

[sergeantdave]

The UN Biodiversity Treaty was rejected by the US Senate in 1994. The criminal Clinton pledged to implement that treaty through the executive bureaucracy.

That bureaucracy is illegally imposing that treaty on the American people. What they are doing is both sedition and treason.
