    this debate is going in circles, restating the same "facts" doesn't make them true or pertinent. Bundy has the course of legal action open to him, but the government has the ability to change the rules. A lease is a right to use, it does not confer permanent use and usually you cannot be compensated for leasehold improvements. If you break the terms of a lease by failing to pay the lease fee, this terminates the lease. Surely 20 years of stuffing about is enough latitude

    WHen you've been doing it openly for well over 20+ years... and nobody says or does anything... that becomes a prescriptive rights issue. And he stands a really good chance of winning on that basis.

    Most other litigants would have filed a lien on the property, which would get satisfied when the property is sold or inherited.. Instead the government sent in the jackboots. The fact is that the Bundy family purchased grazing and surface water rights to the land in perpetuity in the 1880s, long before BLM existed. It was Bundy and the other ranchers who installed wells and irrigation , fencing, cattle guards,,built access roads etc. ,and maintained and worked the land.

    You should because the quote provided is one of the worst examples of quote mining seen here for a long time.

    The source is irrelevant in this case because it contains the quote in context-- as opposed to the mined quote.

    I think not . The fact that domestic agencies have purchased unprecedented amts of assault weapons and ammo....and the fact that we've documented a number of recent cases where these weapons have been deployed against civilians ,leads one to believe that the intent of that quote has more to do with our interpretation.

    Tom's response has nothing to do with quote mining. It changes nothing in relation to the two quotes provided. In fact, "our interpretation" is a pretty good definition of quote mining.

    Of course it's out of context.It's not for you or "our interpretation" to decide. You cannot sum up a speech of this size with 2 lines. It's the height of ridiculousness.

    The relevant 5 or 6 paragraphs are there for everyone to see. Post this, and then provide your interpretations. That's the standard procedure when it comes to academia and quality journalism.

    Now that I have read the relevant sections I have an interpretation. I don't need you to tell me how I should be interpreting a speech.

    Reall6y... THe source has EVERYTHING to do about the validity of a claim... case in point... the so-called VIDEO... nobody ever saw... being blamed for Benghazi...

    Source was the white house... claim was completely false and fabricated, and proven to be so... yet was still backed up and supported by other left wing hacks who have no regard for facts... they just want to push a falicy on the public..,. something that's been a daily occurrence the last 6 years under Obama on essentially everything, and everyone he has appointed to any position.

    ANYTHING connected to scum like Soros and his money is suspect....and in fact needs to be assumed as false unless it can be proven true based on the extensive history of lies and misinformation he and his kind are responsible for.

    Really.. Obama is a far bigger racist... and so is Eric Holder... and it's a matter of public record... yet you believe EVERYTHING they tell anyone... even when proven to be completely factually incorrect. Which is always.

    6 years of Obama has proven to the thinking population that absolutely nothing that comes from the WHite house is to be believed.

    I can't think of a case where they were caught being honest and accurate about anything.

    And unlike you who gets EVERYTHING from a biased press.....I wade around in this cesspool they call Washington every day.....what we hear around here is way different than what gets on the news most times.

    Firstly, I am not a liberal and I am not a left winger, and I don't particularly like Obama.

    Secondly, I didn't say that any statement that is made by anyone is beyond reproach. A person's character has nothing to do with the truth or falsity of what they say.

    You took that out of context... it wasn't calling you a left winger... it was pointed at left wingers in general, since they tend to think their propaganda is beyond reproach... and actual facts... unless accepted in their propaganda, or posted from one of their biased sources (many funded by Soros) aren't acceptable as an argument.

    I.E. If Obama says it....its like Moses himself came off the mountain saying it to that crowd.

    I didn't care much for him when he got elected the first time....that has grown to outright contempt and hatred for the human scum in the six years of race baiting and corruption that has followed.

    here is the text as the emperor spoke them
    Quote:

    [As] president I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots [from 75,000] and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals, like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their effort connected to a common purpose.People of all ages, stations and skills will be asked to serve. Because when it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem they are the answer. So we are going to send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. Well call on Americans to join an energy corps, to conduct renewable energy and environmental clean-up projects in their neighborhoods all across the country.
    We will enlist our veterans to find jobs and support for other vets, and to be there for our military families. And were going to grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy. We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that weve set.
    Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. We need to use technology to connect people to service. Well expand USA Freedom Corps to create online networks where American can browse opportunities to volunteer. Youll be able to search by category, time commitment and skill sets. Youll be able to rate service opportunities, build service networks, and create your own service pages to track your hours and activities.
    This will empower more Americans to craft their own service agenda and make their own change from the bottom up.
    And here is the text provided to the press :

    As you see ;those were off the cuff /off teleprompter comments about forming a civilian national security force just as powerful ,strong and funded as the military that exposed his true intent .

    National Weather Service €œammunition€ solicitation triggers confusion - Capital Weather Gang - The Washington Post

    Quote:

    UPDATE, 1:07 p.m.: NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen emailed the following statement, clarifying the ammunition order is for fisheries law enforcement, as we suspected:Due to a clerical error in the federal business vendor process, a solicitation for ammunition and targets for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement mistakenly identified NOAA's National Weather Service as the requesting office. The error is being fixed and will soon appear correctly in the electronic federal bidding system. The ammunition is standard issue for many law enforcement agencies and it will be used by 63 NOAA enforcement agents in their twice annual target qualifications and training.
