Bundy owns 160 acres. He believes he has a right to run his cattle on hundreds of thousands of acres of land he doesn’t own. He did so for over 20 years without paying grazing fees.

BLM fees this year, BTW, are $1.35/month, as compared to generally over $20/month on private land. Or $16.20/year versus upwards of $250.

AFAIK, nobody is trying to take land Bundy owns. There was an abortive attempt to remove his cattle from land he didn’t own.

If any other landowner tried to remove trespassing cattle from his property, would you object?

And what % of the fee does the BLM spend on its private Army?

Who the heck needs a BLM in the first place when the State Gov. would be far more efficient and fair at running these matters because of simple physical proximity and historical background knowledge of people and places in the state?

Why not stop wasting money, abolish the BLM, and sign over to State control all lands not of military or strategic importance to the Defense of the USA?

If it needs an act of congress, then it should be passed by a Republican president and Republican Congress, which is possible in 2016, especially if Sarah Palin runs.

And either retrain those BLM apes as border patrol agents or fire them if they are useless types, quite possible under the Obumbler Regime.

Well all I can say is you must be seeing different stories than I saw. because the ones I saw all said how he lost the case and his fees were around $1,000,000 and the Feds wanted his land. They killed many of his cattle; used some for target practice.

They already have his neighbors. All for a solar project his Harry Reids son runs.
