Texas AG to Land-Grabbing Obama BLM: ‘Come and Take it’
TPNN ^ | April 22, 2014 | By Todd Cefaratti

Tensions between states’ rights supporters and the federal government remain high after the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) retreated last week at the Bundy Ranch after a tense standoff with hundreds of supporters, many of whom were armed.

The Bundy Ranch situation has escalated little over the course of 20 years, but finally, the BLM stepped too far when they claimed dominion over thousands of acres of land in Nevada and began seizing Cliven Bundy’s cattle. The response by patriots throughout the country was swift and awe-inspiring as citizens flocked to the middle of nowhere to support the rancher, including TPNN.

It seems, however, that the BLM has not received the message. In fact, the BLM has intended to seize roughly 90,000 acres that belongs to Texas along the Oklahoma/Texas border.

As one could imagine, that has not set well with officials in the Lone Star State.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is also running for governor of the great state, has pushed back against the federal government, even warning them with the famous quote that adorns countless flags at Tea Party rallies: Come and Take it!

“I am about ready to go to the Red River and raise a ‘Come and Take It’ flag to tell the feds to stay out of Texas,” Abbott recently commented.

In a strongly-worded letter to BLM Director Neil Kornze, Abbott pulled no punches in demanding to know what authority granted them the right to seize Texas land...

Maybe the plan is to so agitate conservatives with the overreach that there will be shots fired.

That was my first thought at the display of power by the BLM. There's really nothing left short of starting a war to galvanize the lines (for the left). What better way to shore up his support than to drive the right to desperate measures?

I have family in this part of Texas. This sht does not set well with them....These tin-pot commissars and their ‘roided-up thugs in the Obamugabi Regime need to be dealt with harshly.

I’d think about a very special sort of welcome mat myself. Very special indeed.

I don’t think there are enough. At that point it is total war.

If true, someone else thought of it. He is too lame brained to have come up with the idea.

The staying in the White House is not going to work, DC is only separated from Virginia by some short bridges. You can walk from Arlington to the White House in less than an hour.

I’m sure if they tried they’d have plenty of bodies.
