Former Labor secretary Reich blasts Bundy
Fox News Politics ^ | April 22, 2013

Former Clinton Labor secretary Robert Reich, now a prominent author and commentator, blasted Bundy on his Facebook page on Monday.

“In what world is Cliven Bundy, the 68-year-old rancher who refuses to pay his tab for grazing cattle on federal lands, a patriot?” Reich wrote. “He drapes himself in the American flag but says ‘I don’t recognize the United States government as even existing,’ while attracting a collection of thugs with assault rifles in the Nevada desert to force the Bureau of Land Management to back down from a court-ordered confiscation of his cattle.”

Bundy had resisted efforts by Bureau of Land Management officials to seize his cattle, a move taken by federal officials as part of a long-running fight over unpaid grazing fees.

Reich’s analysis comes up a little short. Probably sounds better in the original German.

“He drapes himself in the American flag but says ‘I don’t recognize the United States government as even existing,’

He said he does not recognize the US governments ownership of the land. Big difference, but all progressives miss represent the position of their opposition.

Reich used Facebook to blast Bundy? That has to be a new low. How long before he’s driving a cab?

Well you little man, I don’t recognize the United States government as even existing as it was at one time either. A good few of us want to fix that!

So if the federal government suddenly decides to fine us for frogs, lizard, turtles, we’re all supposed to just pay.

His family had been there for over 100 years before the feds just decided they were going to start fining him. Can the feds just decide on a whim that that can do this to any of us?
