What complete and utter bullshit. The previous ones want to protect themselves from infringement of rights, while the latter want to impose their view on others. You have it exactly backwards! Bundy and his gang are not asking to be left alone, they are demanding that they be given something that is not theirs. What's more, they are using force to take it. They don't own that land, it belongs to us. Bundy was grazing on my land. Good sons were invading and degrading my property.

The protest was in my eyes on a general issue of the rights of western farmers to keep their rights. Many of them actually work their own land. That the stand against the agencies took part on federal should not cloud the principal issue.
You are trying to deal from the bottom of the deck.
Your bullshit comes back to haunt you!

Cowardly men always plot to label Freedom as anarchy!
