Some folks involved with the annual Burning Man festival plan on staging a counter-standoff to the one currently taken up by Bundy in his ongoing challenge to the feds over grazing rights. The video below posted by progressive activist Sean Shealy details the plan for a month-long shindig to be held after the official Burning Man proceedings that will take place directly across from Bundy Ranch. The "anything goes" action promises hundreds of bands, as many as 50,000 revelers, "total freedom," and of course full nudity.
"You're free to let it all hang out right there, just like Bundy's cattle," says Shealy, in no uncertain and definitely mocking terms.
The Facebook page for the event is stuffed with goodies to positively tickle the feathers - perhaps literally - of fellow progressives who think Bundy and pals are the otherworldly weirdos in the culture war games. For example this video, in which Shealy dresses up as an "anonymous militia member" who voices his support for what's being dubbed "BundyFest." There's even a picture of Reagan by his side, presumably to boost his credibility.
"Howdy patriots," Shealy starts off, before encouraging said patriots to come out and support BundyFest.
"How will goof-ball Sean Hannity deal with this?" writes one supporter of the event to be held Sept. 5th through Oct. 5th. "If he supports Bundy...then he has to support BundyFest too! LOL."
"I have roughly 30 tons of medical waste," added another. "Can I bring it with me?"

I’ve been there more than once. My BIL has a boat and trailer he keeps up there for the summer, and it’s bloody HOT compared to Phoenix. A very nasty landscape.
So many lost souls, so little time.
It says post-Burning Man so September.
Then they just might survive the experience.

I would do 3-4 courses every day and was in bed by 12 every night.
I'm not denying most people come there to party and do nightlife. That is what 90% of younger people do on their time off anywhere. My first time out there in my early 20s, I partied every night past sunrise. Vegas on the way back seemed like a sleepy retreat. So again, there's something for everyone.
I also met many very interesting people from 31 different countries last year. 15 countries in my camp alone. Yes, I kept a log and noted each one.
The Left has found their new “Emmanuel Goldstein.”
