Once again, at the risk of you getting this post pulled also, which agency of the Federal Government do you work for?

Retired now but I was an instructor (college) and a Republican. The political tag is important because throughout my 4+ decades of education I worked amidst a faculty of almost 100% Democrats. My husband was GOP too so it was always wonderful to talk GOP and conservative after a day-full of Democrat and liberal.

My co-workers ended up never discussing politics with me. With the past Democrats in office it was an easy win for me and a repeated loss for them. They couldn't defend the very people they voted for.

You?

By the way, why would this post be pulled when you quite civilly asked me a personal question? You obviously had a previous post pulled. Strange. Your conversation is rational and polite. Why was...oh never mind, NOT my business.

Going to bed now.
Good night and God bless.

Amusing. And you know this about me how?

No need to come up with something pithy...I am no BillO. I just find it astounding when someone labels another poster without explaining how they came to their opinion. Are you saying you’ve concluded I am not conservative...because what? I don’ t agree with you?

I am who I am and I make no apologies for what I believe to be true.

Have a nice evening.

No real conservative is fool enough to debate politics at an American university or college where they are employed.

So, this line is pure govShill BS.

I always chuckle at people that toss scripture around as if the context of what Christ said and to whom he said it didn't matter...Haven't read scripture in a while but if my memory is correct, the person that ask the question was trying to trick Jesus and so He ask for a coin and made his reply, therefore the trick question was answered. and the questioner had no comeback to toss at Jesus..

Your using that quote was silly. #1 we have no Caesar, #2 using your analogy, if Caesar said give me your first born and all your assets, you would gladly hand them over to Caesar(if we had one and he demanded it). Your the type of person that no one would want watching their back in a time of war. What do you know about the religious beliefs of those that resisted the unconstitutional demands.

I am too old and too far away from Bundy's, but if it was happening in my area I would have joined them...The BLM was looking and hoping for another Ruby Ridge, to murder citizens under the cover of law....I suppose by your answer, I can assume you were all for the killing of women and children at Waco also.....You are to be pitied. That is after I read your silly answer to my post..

Unless your a mind reader of the Lord, you have not the slightest idea of what he would say, so why bring it up. This was not a religious discussion....

Big deal instructor (college).... reminds me of those who can do... do and those who can’t teach.... Personal experience with “instructors” proves this to me.

War against ranchers equals war against the food supply in the USA. Simple. Look at it from this stand point and it falls into place.

In the USA: War against energy production - coal - oil War against availability of water for citizens War against freedom to roam in wilderness areas War against ownership of properties, mineral and water rights. War against farmers in the California central valley. Water - any and every vestige of water provides a platform for them to litigate against you. There is so much more... trash, sewage, water, power, transportation, freedom of movement from city to city is next. They are circling the noose and many are willingly putting it around their own neck.

Bundy just doesn't know how or care to play by anyone's rules but his. I hope he is thinking about the effect this has on his family, near and extended, relatives and friends. Nothing for them to be proud of here.

Same goes for the Founding Fathers refusing to play by King George's rules, right? They were law breakers . Their problems didn't arise suddenly either.

I can assure you that Bundy thought long and hard about the consequences of his actions. He decided that he was prepared to die.

Say what you will about some of Bundy's odd assertions. (I do.) The man has big, brass ones. He's all hat with 900 head of cattle.

“The family had been on the the Bundy allotment 150 years.”

A dubious claim.

http://www.8newsnow.com/story/25301551/bundys-ancestral-rights-come-under-scrutiny

“Clark County property records show Cliven Bundy’s parents bought the 160 acre ranch in 1948 from Raoul and Ruth Leavitt.

Water rights were transferred too, but only to the ranch, not the federally managed land surrounding it. Court records show Bundy family cattle didn’t start grazing on that land until 1954.”

Your lack of character by standing with tyrannical government is not deserving of respect and should always be attacked any means necessary. Take your sorry ass back to DU.

“Will the Commerce Department send armed agents to surround their stores and pick off their managers and cashiers?”

Easier to freeze their assets.

I agree. Claims such as this by peasants are superceded by the desires of the Royals, such as Clinton's King's Men in 1993, and those of Lord Harry Reid more recently.

And besides - peasants stink of cow sh*t.
