sadbrownsfan Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Umm, sure? I totally understand this. I'm just asking for a little equality in the outrage (from both sides). The BLM is headed by a crony of Harry Reid, who is trying to sell the land to a Chinese development firm that wants to build a solar energy plant on the land (suck it, endangered turtles). Why the fuck is the gov't (be it federal, or state) willing to send para-military troops over $1.3 million claim against an individual when he fucks up, but has no problem stroking out a $800 billion check to Wall street when they fuck up and cripple our economy? Or when GM couldnt understand market demand even if it slapped its balls in their collective faces, so the Gov't cut them a $40 billion floater? When do "the people who are owed" that money (US citizens) get their check's? This is why people are "supporting" Bundy. Not because he (and they) are racists, patriots, gun-boners, states rights advocates, etc... people are tired of this kind of bullshit. Why should there be outrage at all? He has repeatedly been ordered not only by the Feds but by local and the courts to stop, and he has continued to trespass on that land. Its a fuck up if it had happened once or twice, its deliberate when it continues to happen over a 20year period. Also the land that was going to be part of the deal for solar energy was not only 20 miles away but fell through a year ago. Personally I am more tired of this kind of BS, both sides bringing someone out like this as a "Hero\Villian" that shouldn't even be big news. The right is trumpeting this guy as the greatest thing ever and the left is trying to tear him apart, leaving the people who's job it is to enforce the law of the land(you know that has been in effect since 1993) stuck between a rock and a hard place. Also they brought para-military troops b/c in 2012 the gov't tried to offer to round up with the help of the county sheriff and transport to sales market of the family's choosing and allowing the family to keep the proceeds, he threatened them with a range war. Should the Fed's have sent unarmed people to round up the cattle and one person was shot(not saying he would have shot but if) they would be facing a major lawsuit for not heeding his threat.

calfoxwc Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 no, nobody is trumpeting this guy anything. But he has a point. The feds are up to no good, headed and spurred on by Harry Reid. Bundy can't graze his cattle because of the turtle, but they can sell the land to the Chinese? That's stupid. Many Americans are calling BS. http://www.heraldextra.com/news/opinion/utah-valley/get-it-right-nevada-s-cattle-and-the-federal-government/article_3447ac47-a522-51c7-b8c1-97b71f9aece1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 No buddy is trumpeting him? Really? You sure about that? No one is anymore because he showed how idiot of an old racist man he was. But before that point, he was all over the place, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 By the way, this is a fantastic quote. Golden. Award winning. The former sheriff is brilliant "We're actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front. If they are going to start shooting, it's going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers." How did a sheriff ever get elected with a view of things like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 How did a sheriff ever get elected with a view of things like that? Colbert had a pretty good line about this on his show. Something like: "Now it is not as bad as it sounds. They were going to protect the women with a line of children." lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
