These lands were NEVER state lands. NEver. And no reason to transfer our national heritage to sates or private users. People can hero-worship Bundy’s and all but and transfer is DOA. Will never happen. People should get over it and stop wasting time with such a lame issue. Especially mucking with the party platform on an issue that most Americans will disagree with.
“These lands were NEVER state lands. NEver. And no reason to transfer our national heritage to sates or private users.”
So how do the original 13 states get away with sub 1% Federally owned lands? You’re dealing in sematics, when each state was brought into the Union, the price was giving the Feds substantial lands within the new state’s border. And I disagree with you wholeheartedly. These are only “national heritage lands” in your eyes. BTW, my wife was born in Fallon and grew up in LV. She saw first hand, as a child how the Feds effed with the farmers in the Fallon area.
I live in a state which is around 80% fed owned. IT TOTALLY SUCKS.
