I think an analogy to the Magia is apropos here. The Bundys had a small buisiness raising cattle on the open range for about 50 years and then one day the Mafia came in and requested some “protection” money. Initially they paid the BLM (Bureau of Land Mafia) the protection money because it wasn’t that much and it was better to pay it than go through the hassle of trying to convince the courts that the Federal Mafia had no legal right to extort money from their enterprise.

Another 50 years goes by and the BLMafia puts the squeeze on the Bundys telling them that not only is the protection fee going up, but they can only raise a fraction of the cows they used to raise because the desert tortoise mob, the Environmental Protection Racket wants a cut of the protection money and their people want to set aside the land for the use of nobody. The neighboring companies pay the fee and attempt to limit the number of their cows and all eventually go out of business. The Environmental Protection Racket purchases the neighboring properties at a fire sale and push all the ranchers except Bundy off the land intending to use the land for a pet project designed to enrich the Mob Bosses who run both Rackets.

But Bundy refuses to pay the protection money. The mob sits quiet waiting for the wheels to get into motion on their Chinese/Mob Boss enriching solar scheme and then when the wheels are ready, it becomes necessary to take out the recalcitrant businessman and his family. They hire a bunch oh hit men and other mercenaries to take out the family and steal their cows.

What the Mafia didn’t take into account was that there would be a large contingent of good guys armed to the teeth ready to keep the Mob from executing their plan to take out the Bundys.

That’s where we are today. The Mob backed out, but will they continue their efforts to extort protection money and/or take them out or have the good guys prevailed?

While I love happy endings, the Godfather (Obama) has been disrespected and he is vengeful. His henchmen (Reid and Company) have vowed to finish what they started.
