One can be a supporter of the rule of law and still recoil in anger and disgust from the militarized display of force by the federal government toward Clive Bundy.
The disproportionate nature of the governments reaction to Bundy suggests this has less to do with delinquent grazing fees than it does with the selective assertion of raw governmental power sending a message not just to Bundy or a disfavored group, but to America as a whole. The same federal government that deploys Bureau of Land Management shooters tricked out like SEAL Team 6 directs Border Patrol agents to flee from aggressive illegal immigrants.

The government’s objectives are crystal clear:
1. To terrorize the American people into total submission.
2. To create a violent incident, shed some blood, and use this as an excuse to crack down and take away our remaining rights.
Nothing else. The people who will die as a result — and Obama and his minions will make sure some do — aren’t even collateral damage to the regime. They’re nothing — not even considered human. Not even 3/5 of a human (the way the Democrats looks at blacks.)
Stop militarizing bureaucracies.
De-fang Fedzilla.

What we have is an out of control government. This an issue that has been going on for the past 40 years. An over reaching tyranical government with only one mission to destroy this nation and those that stand in its way.
They’re all wearing the fascist uniform:
Skinhead hair, wraparound glasses, 30 pounds overweight (plus the kevlar) and a fat union pension they’re putting before public safety, the Constitution, or any semblance of humanity.
Now that is interesting, and it makes a whole lot of sense too.
Yes, if the laws are just and created and agreed to by the people. Not laws issued from the bench by judges or from behind a desk by bureaucrats at a whim.
Reading many of these so-called conservatives I wonder if they'd write the same thing about those pesky rebels wanting to tell King George to go to hell.
HA HA HA...GOPe Republicans doing their jobs? HA HA HA HA
