"You've got a bunch of people there trying to take the law into their own hands and they shouldn't be doing that. And the Bureau of Land Management is not government-owned, it's publicly owned. There's a big difference there. I blame both sides." -Jim Inhofe, Republican U.S. Senator from Oklahoma
I'm not even sure what Jim Inhofe is talking about. The Bureau of Land Management has a government website (www.BLM.gov) and is part of the Department of Interior. As far as being publicly owned, if he is trying to say that the BLM answers to the public then that is supposed to be the case with our entire federal government, of which he is part. I am unsure what "government-owned" is supposed to mean, quite frankly, because "We the People" own this government.
They work for us. Period.
On Easter Sunday, a story broke from the "Sooner State" that the main stream media was, as usual, not quick to cover. It seems that the Oklahoma Milita has pledged their support to Cliven Bundy and vows to take up arms against the BLM if needed. Several members of the Oklahoma Militia are already in Nevada and the members at home are seeing a similar BLM land grab developing along the Red River.

WOW!
That’s really good news!
Agreed. The regime can’t wait to stage a false flag on these guys.
Actually, I don’t think they expected the pushback that happened. I think they thought they could show an overwhelming show of force to eliminate the problem. I doubt they expected, not just the turnout of people, but the internet media attention the situation received (especially Drudge).
This is new territory for both sides. If the BLM folks were smart, they would rethink their tactics. I’m betting they’re not very smart and will keep pushing the envelope.
I don’t think they have some big plan...they just expect to be obeyed.
It was Barack Obama the president who sent an army and special forces against a private American citizen for a civil matter.
Here is proof Obama sent special (armed) forces to attack Mr. Bundy:

Obama broke the law of Posse Comitatus and must be imprisoned now
The federal government nor a president cannot send an army against a private citizen for a civil matter. that is a crime , a violation of Posse Comitatus . it was an army and Obama also sent special forces that only TAKE ORDERS DIRECTLY ONLY FROM THE PRESIDENT to help out the BLM in the raid against Bundy. That is unconstitutional
Also unconstitutional that the federal government owns 86% of the land of Nevada. that's called socialism/communism
.... Some people are better at planning and controling than others. Some people are just better at reacting to stimuli.
Writing checks they can’t cash is just another day at the office for these amateurs. Question is, can we make them pay?
Considering the Bundy fiasco, we might soon be finding out.
BLM = Babylon 5’s Nightwatch

This is an excerpted blog that needs your attention.

Question! Where are the ‘talk-a-lot’ freedom espousing farces that people elect to hold to our Constitution?
Excerpted blogs are one thing.
Excerpting you OWN blog is quite another.
Agreed. They're tucked in so deep into their insular political bubble, they believed everyone would turn tail and run once cop-looking guys showed up with (gasp!) GUNS!
Thank you for posting the map of federal lands in each state.
With the USA in so much debt, I’d say it is time for a HUGE LAND SALE, so long as only Americans or the states can purchase the land.
If there is to be law, it will have to be taken into our hands. Right now, with our government ignoring the law, there is a vacuum that begs to be filled.
I asked this question on the FR before. What right does the FedGov has in buying land and what are they doing with it.
And if the FedGov owned the bundy land, what right does Reid has to sell it to the Chinese solar company?
First it was the desert turtle, now its non payment of grazing rights and now its Reids crooked family and its dealings with a Solar Company. They cant even keep their own lies straight.
