Agree completely. These “militiamen” are coming across as a**holes. And if the Bundy kid’s interview with CNN is any indication incoherent a**holes at that.
Although I will say that given the Eric Holder precedent for armed take over and occupation of government facilities, the Bundy kid is now qualified to be US Attorney General ;-)
Perhaps they are, but it's a symptom of a citizenry FED up.
The executive branch is legislating by regulation. NO representation, just mandates. The Federal government overnight could deny you of your property rights, seize your home, freeze your bank accounts...totally bring ruin on you without a single law/policy negotiated constitutionally in congress.
I feel it is their belief that they are standing up to an out of control government. Right or wrong, they appear to be pushing back.
Remember the minuteman project down South on the border? It was George Bush who labeled a bunch of older folks attempting to aid the border patrol by lending extra eyes...vigilantes. It was GB who allowed border patrol agents to languish in jail before commuting their sentence...not pardoning. Waco, Ruby Ridge, Elian Gonzales?
