“I guess I’m the only one who thinks the feds won. The state governor chickened out. The sheriff chickened out. They abused protesters. They used attack dogs. They confiscated cattle. They left at a time and place of their choosing.
And they lost?”
Yes. The Feds lost bigtime. They were there, with guns, and now they are gone, because the other side was armed also and called their bluff. This is the precedent for all future confrontations, armed local militia willing to stand up against the Feds and and make sure the standoff is in front of cameras for all to see.
I love this man Cliven Bundy and his brave son Ammon. No more perfect example of what the men of this country with women at their sides should be. Real men and real women. Real Americans.
One guy who really needs props in all this is Pete Santilli. If he hadn't caught that dramatic video, this would have never turned out the way it did. He also filmed Ammon Bundy's speech this morning, and that of his uncle, and it was quite powerful. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/46061848 (Move the timer to about 19:45 to see the start of Ammon's speech.) And http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/46062778 (Part 2 of Ammon, followed by his uncle.)
It serves as a reminder of how important our internet access is.
