Bundy “would probably rather be a martyr than a profitable rancher,” says Shea, the former BLM director. “Eventually, you have to draw the line. We go through these sad episodes where fanaticism has to be brought under legal control. And inevitably, somebody is killed.”
I see. So Shea thinks Bundy is a bum, a martyr, a fanactic, a sad pawn of the Koch Brothers. Alrighty then. Now we know where the Left stands on anyone who dares to challenge the private garrisons.
If the grazing permits were retired in 1998 by the state of Nevada, who bought said permits by the BLM, how in blazes does Bundy owe the BLM a dang anything?
sounds like a threat.
Alex needs to read this article: http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/04/bundy-ranch-crisis-causes-us-ask-actually-owns-americas-land/.
The US government land grab has been going on for some time — Bundy’s ranch has been there since well before the FEDs land grab began.
They are trying to steal Bundy’s ranch and he won’t back down.
These are, indeed, the times that try men’s soul!
BLM heads need to roll.
Yeah, he's like 68 yr old. What better time in life to stand up?
.........A cavalry of patriots arrived, bearing weapons and a seemingly bottomless grudge against the government....
I don’t know who “Alex” is, and am too lazy to look it up, but my mind wanders thinking he is likely some young punk with about as much “real life” experience as his leader Mr. Zero.
So, here goes a waste of breath. “Alex, your right about a “bottomless grudge against the government”.
However it (the bottomless grudge) is against “THIS GOVERNMENT” not all government and it is founded upon the LAWLESSNESS of this government aided and abetted and in partnership with liberals like you. If ever the shooting does get started, as we barely missed in Bunkerville, I hope some of the MSM liberals like you are right in the middle of it all. Then, no question, those liberals caught up in the crossfire WILL receive some much needed REAL LIFE experience.
Ya see, the first bureaucrat that raises a stink in a case like this, needs a baseball bat upside the head.
EPA, BLM, IRS, HHS,.....Just to let them know that there’s a price for their utter stupidity. That would slow down some of this nonsense.
And....even if it resulted in a ban on baseball bats....there are an infinite number of substitutes, so as to make the ban irrelevant.
What’s Time? Wasn’t that an old magazine you read in the Barber Shop?
Catch that phrase?”Federal Workers”.You’d think that the people the BLM sent were everyday cowpokes just sent to recover some cattle.When the reality was they were a Hostile Armed force sent out to intimidate citizens with Violence and denying them there Constitutional rights to Freedom of speech and assembly.
The BLM was lucky that day that NO citizens were injured because that would have been a disaster as large as the Little Big Horn for the BLM.
Huh - wonder what it cost to ship in a couple hundred heavily-armed BLM thugs? Uh, sorry, "federal workers".
Bundy “would probably rather be a martyr than a profitable rancher,” says Shea, the former BLM director.
No, he'd rather be a profitable rancher left alone. That much is absolutely clear, and it is, after all, what the affair is all about.
“Eventually, you have to draw the line. We go through these sad episodes where fanaticism has to be brought under legal control. And inevitably, somebody is killed.”
Who has to draw what line? And this passive-voice "somebody is killed" phrase - who kills whom? Lon Horiuchi on Vicki Weaver so that that family was "brought under legal control"? Really? Sad but "inevitable"? No. State violence is not simply a sad, necessary, anonymous force of nature invoked to keep the citizen in line. And clever framing and weasel words aren't going to change a damn thing on the ground.
But you can bet your sweet bippy the Feds know.
They were ran out of town at the barrel of a gun.
Federal workers? Is that new speak for illegal domestic standing army?
