Why is US Senator Harry Reid so concerned with a local Nevada rancher?

concerned with a local Nevada rancher?

By Wayne Allyn Root Published April 16, 2014 FoxNews.com Facebook787 Twitter123 Gplus26

I live in Las Vegas. I live and breath Nevada politics. Something is very wrong. Something smells rotten in the Nevada desert. And Senator Harry Reid’s fingerprints are all over it.

I am of course referring to the Bundy Ranch siege. This was a dispute between a Nevada ranching family with rights to the land in question for 140 years and the BLM (Bureayu of Land Management).

The government claims they haven’t paid grazing fees for 20 years. The result was a government assault on the ranch- including snipers with assault rifles, SUV’s, helicopters, airplanes and over 200 heavily armed troops. No matter whether you come down on the side of the government or the ranch family, I think all of us can agree this was excessive force.

The BLM, the environmental movement, and the Democrat Party want ranchers off public land in spite of specific statutory language authorizing such use and requiring the BLM to support it and promote it.

The green agenda is changing the West and getting rid of people from open spaces by shoving them into urban ghettos is one of their most important goals.

With 87% of Nevada’s land under control of the feds most of which are under the control of BLM now run by a Harry Reid toady, it is not surprising that Reid and his family stand to benefit from having control over most of the state’s land.

Harry is trying to cash out before the Republicans take over the Senate.

Exactly! Just cashin’ out before his retirement in 2016 as well. It is apparent that someone in the Democrat power elite (Schmuckie Schumer and his cronies) want Harry gone as they see him as an albatross for the mid-terms. Funny thing is that Schmuckie should look into a mirror more often.

".It was U.S. Senator Harry Reid who famously made a guess about Mitt Romney's taxes. He guessed wrong. No one seemed to mind.

So now it's time for all of us to ask questions about Senator Reid's involvement !

Yeah, too bad no one in congress and the government propaganda media seem too interested

Interesting , from article

.....Doesn’t it strike anyone as strange that the U.S. Senate Majority Leader is so obsessed with a small rancher who hasn’t paid grazing fees? Does New York Senator Chuck Schumer get involved publicly when a New York company is late paying rent to the U.S. government?

(Answer)

...Only days ago, Senator Reid was featured in a photo at a groundbreaking ceremony for a new solar project. Where is that project located? Just 35 miles from the Bundy ranch in Bunkerville, Nevada

If anyone in the government propaganda media gets interested, they get fired.

No one in the Federal government seems to be going after Sharpton & his tax issues.

How about all the other Democrats that have been found ‘lacking’ in attention to their tax obligations?

Obama even appointed “Little Timmy’ to head the Treasury department, when he couldn’t file HIS OWN tax forms correctly
!!!

What a complete administration of incompetents.

Guess that is the core of the theories he subscribes to.

It all certainly creates more chaos.

I see plenty of BLM vehicles around N Nevada.

NOTHING they are driving is over 2 years old & they are all high cost Ford trucks, in the $55,000 EACH range.

These BLM people are the same ones who teamed up with the Forest Service thugs & kept Americans & tourists from entering American parks during the ‘shutdown’ last October.

They spent money keeping us out & lost the revenue from our entrance fees to such places.

They have drawn attention to themselves from their Gestapo-like tactics.

Someone has to stop them & soon.

Exactly!

The same in law enforcement, the same in any governmental agency. And thats why its easy for me to believe that the USA will easily turn into a fully third world banana republic and worse

Most people when forced will put there own self interest first before country. Just like the brown shirts of 1935.

Ask any one of the participating BLM agents last week. They would have followed orders to shoot, and with a smile.

You know whats really sad. Many law enforcement agents talking today how they would have handled the situation differently, and how they would have taken out the protesters

Yes, there are exceptions, but you notice they are afraid to say anything out liud, do you hear any law enforcement agency condemning the initial actions of the BLM?

The silence is deafening .

Do they have skid plates under the gas tanks?

True. As well, Harry Reid didn’t want to get involved with cancer care for one child back during the shutdown last October, because he said he needed to look after all those folks who were sitting idle not getting pay checks at Nellis Air Force Base.

Now, however, going after one rancher us way more important than seeing to it that people have jobs.

So much juxtaposition. How did Reid get reelected the last time? Can there be at least one competent person to run against him next time?

Does Harry Reid even know where Nevada is on a map? All he knows is his schemes cooked up in the DC Ritz have “Nevada” written on them and make him millions of dollars.
