The TEA party ain’t a party. It’s a movement.

The more Bundy talks about his bizzaro jurisdictional theories, the crazier he sounds.

The Tea Party opposes government overreach and overkill - but it tends to avoid Gordon Kahl style muttering.

The point here is that the BLM sent an army against an old man who never fired a shot.

Well, I don’t know if it is tarnishing us, but we are indeed a minority and a majority of Americans just don’t agree with our vision. That is a truism.

What will that mean in the long run? Too early to tell.

Well, I think I see a shark swimming away unharmed by the Weekly Standard’s latest screed from the GOPe end of the ruling elite.

a ...”mob”

given that the Armed American Civilians did not use their arms should seperate them from terms like [a] MOB.

Ive never heard of an armed....”mob” not using thier weapons...

Did Lexington and Concord “tarnish” the Minutemen?

Shillage ALERT!

“No conservative would pick and choose the laws he intends to obey, defy the rest, and challenge the rule of democracy with guns.”

A) What democracy, we don’t have one. We don’t have a republic either anymore.

B) The Founders gave us the 2nd Amendment exactly for instances like this. Facing down tyranny.

This is a hit piece.

The point here is that OBAMA and the government sent an army against an old man who never fired a shot.

Any fool can pick up a weapon and aim at an officer of the law; the moral power of civil disobedience lies in the willingness to defer to the law and accept punishment on principle.

Uh huh. Assuming the law is amenable to that form of suasion. The Jews found out what happens when it isn't.

No conservative would pick and choose the laws he intends to obey, defy the rest, and challenge the rule of democracy with guns.

This isn't a democracy. And every citizen in it is not only capable, but obligated, to choose to disobey laws that are unconstitutional. It isn't a privilege, it's a duty. The author of this Scrapbook is unworthy to be an American.

I would hope that I would never have to count on someone like you for support.

Dear Mr. Warren, you folks consistently miss the point, even when the point is as big as a house, you manage to miss it. The man has a legitimate beef. $50,000 a year for grazing fees with no improvements and the grazing fees just went into effect a few decades ago. With them came promises that were never fulfilled. Have you seen that land? It’s not lush pasture, it’s scrub brush. But even if he’s wrong, the government had NO business coming onto his land, destroying the water tower, killing cattle to collect a bill. Doesn’t that bother you? Or are you so cowed that you will accept anything. Where is your manhood Mr. Warren?

Weakly Standard has always been second rate and off kilter.
