Could someone help me understand the issues of Bunny.
Sorry, been sick all week and haven't really been doing more than sleep all I can.
What are the issues regarding Issues regarding graze fees, when were they instituted, why is Bundy saying he'll pay NV but, not ELM.
What's this racism thing I had to hear about ad-naseum yesterday.
Just bumper sticker details would be fine along with a few links.
I don't need Beck crap or anyone else like him.
Just need a bottom line rejoinder so I can Ed Joo Muh Kate my friends on the side of this issue.
Yes, I understand they have conceded their position with the Jim Crow claims.
Thnx again.(might fall asleep soon. If you don't see me responding then I feel asleep.
I should post something on the "Unghh!!!" thread.
“The most complete data is from the Beaver Dam Mountains. Woodbury and Hardy reported a tortoise population density of 150 per square mile in 1948. BLM reduced cattle grazing a few years later and eliminated cattle in 1970. Coombs reported a tortoise density of 39 per square mile in 1974. In these 26 years cattle use was reduced 100 percent and tortoise numbers were reduced 74 percent.
“These tortoises were doing so poorly a veterinarian, Dr. Jarchow, was consulted. He reported all six specimens were suffering from osteoporosis caused by a protein deficiency in their diet. Dr. Jarchow examined five specimens from the same mountains that shared their range with cattle. He reported these specimens were all healthy and well nourished.
“The historical record proves conclusively that tortoise thrive when cattle are on the range with them and without cattle grazing they are always malnourished and unhealthy and their numbers plummet.

I was going to leave well alone on the subject, having had a fair hearing here. I just happened to have on CTV (Canada). There was a gentleman by the name of Butch Carter, a former coach of the Toronto Raptors. He came off most statesmanlike and the voice of reason on the subject of Sterling. He would be described as black.
Then the usual suspect, the female interviewer asked him this. Did he ever experienced racism in the Toronto organization?. I wonder if she expected a pious accolade? He launched into a bitter denunciation of the then owner, a Richard Peddie. Turns out he was fired in the year 2000. Yes, implied it was racist.
The weapon used to attempt to crush Sterling is one of the most effective of our times. The only possibility is that the left may wear out it's use. I observe that ordinarily the destruction of an individual happens, then all is quiet. Then it is paraded again. This time it has come quickly on the heels of Bundy.
I wonder if it will ever become blunted with over use?.
Let's hope so. I think it will. I think most Americans lean to the right and that guys like Reid are in office ONLY because of systemic, organized vote fraud that pushed just enough over the line to put him in. So the whole controversy revolves around a politician who, in actual on-the-ground terms, was rejected by most of "the people."
I looked back through your posting history and couldn’t find anything where you wrote that you stood with Bundy on his fight for property rights. Did I miss it or haven’t you written anything on it?
I had not commented here on the BLM/Bundy episode buy I am lock and stock on his side with respect to the USG vs the Individual and Federal vs states control of in boundary state property. The Feds should own or lease military facilities beyond that they should not own or control one square inch of land in CONUS. I dont even support national parks.
I am also for the dissolution of the BLM, EPA, Education department, IRS, Commerce,and Homeland security departments.
I detest the Democrats and their moderate wing, the GOP.
Having said this I do not comment on everything and occasionally I comment on too many things.
Geeze, she’s a babe...
This might interest you.
Records: Bundy ancestors were farmers, not full-time ranchers
