    What would possibly cause anyone to go after our government with guns? Vote, don't shoot. And -- can't wait to see who has the better firepower and who wins.

    what sort of twisted notion is this that insurrection is patriotic. look at the facts, this isn't government oppression, it is a commercial transaction where one party has breached the contract and the government, being the other party,,has the right of redress. It is incidential to the debate that the government (BLM) is one of the parties. This is not WACO although it seems to be a little WACHO.

    That your nation was founded in insurrection doesn't justify any civilian action here

    Protecting a law breaker isn't patriotic. And no guns have been taken away. Matter of fact gun sales seem to be soaring.

    Thank the ramapnt disgust of Obama, and the complete lack of trust of anyone in his administration for that... people feel the need to protect themselves against the criminal element Obama apparently embraces while he screws the productive part of society... and protect themselves from a government that no longer represnts their best interests.

    really how often does he use the words right wing, red neck, WASP, what is racist is your insistence that since he is black he must be racist, or that since he has concern for the poor or underpriviliged he must be racist, but don't worry three and a little more years from now, you will be shuck of this president who dared to be black. If he were not black the question of racism would not come up

    Since this thread has gone off the wall, I would like to make a prediction. " There will be a civil war in this country, and the "Brown Shirt Civilian Army" that Obama wants to form that will be as well equipt as our military will be manned by the 68,000 criminals that Holder is freeing". So much for land grabs.

    Clete it is a state's power issue. The Feds own over 80% of the land in the state of Nevada . If transferred ,it would benefit the state to the tune of $114 million a year according to the Nevada Public Land Management Task Force .Bundy is right in saying it is the state that should own the land and collect any grazing fees .
    Tal says that the other ranchers in the area pay the fees. He should say PAID the fees ,because the BLM used the fees to drive the other ranchers off the land . This is NOT a matter of Bundy being some kind of scoff-law . He is trying to protect his historic grazing rights on the land .
    This is similar to another case in the same area. Raymond Yowell, an 84 year-old Shoshone chief, had his herd seized by BLM .They auctioned off his cattle and then sent him an additional bill for $180,000;which they collect by garnishing his Social Security check. He also had historic grazing rights that were bolstered by a treaty the government signed with his tribe (the Treaty of Ruby Valley of 1863). His cattle were on reservation lands . But SCOTUS decided that the government had the power to manage the reservation lands . BLM does not like cattle grazing , so they used the bs endangered desert tortoise canard on him. Yes he also has lost in court ;but in his case ,the 9th Circus Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's decision. He is now representing himself in SCOTUS. He has also sued the BLM and the Treasury Department for $30 million.

    What your missing is that it is very dangerous for the fox to be guarding the hen house. Of course the federal government is going to try to rule in its own favor. The largest problem being faced right now is the the government walked out on court proceedings when they were losing and moved the ball to the court that had their back. That is how we got to be where we are at today.

    Another thing that you keep missing is that the second amendment prevents another Nazi Germany situation from forming in this country. That is why every citizen needs to be vigilant when it comes to government powers.

    The increase in government heavy handedness and the lack of regaurd to rights has been increasing. Drones are overhead and police forces are arming up as only the military used to be. There are laws that prevent the military in domestic situations and now they are trying to make an end around it. That ia why so many are being watchful of this government.

    you have a military that can be controlled by a state government, this is where you need to be very carefull. The nazi situation is very unlikely to arise in your country, not because you are armed, but because you don't think in absolutes, and you have never lost a war and degenerated into poverty. however continue to improverish your citizens and we will see

    Au contraire. A goodly portion of this continent did precisely that, and were kept in poverty by the very same political party that's in power here right now.

    well yes but I'm referring to an external war, not something that is self inflicted. The nazi arose out a loss of a war and the stringent reparations which reduced Germany and created a resentment the nazi could turn to advantage. There was noone looking after their poor. the population you were referring to were a few individuals of privilege amid a population of poor

    Feds consider taking Alaska tribal land into trust

    Quote:

    The rule barring the department from taking Alaska tribal land into trust dates back to 1980. That's when the program was created for lower 48 Native Americans. It is among "Alaska exceptions" denying Alaska Natives the same rights as lower 48 Indians and it is partly the legacy of the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.
    The president of the National Congress of American Indians said he was "greatly encouraged" by the proposed rule change.
    What's wrong with Alaskan Indians having the same right of self governance as the other Indians of America? Why should natives be ruled by immigrants?

    The trust relationship between the federal government and tribal governments is the foundation of all policies affecting Indian Country," Brian Cladoosby said in a statement released Thursday. "That Alaska Native peoples have been cut out of this critical arrangement is unacceptable and has created myriad problems for those tribes."
    I had a long conversation with some Utes when I was at Mesa Verde. They didn't speak so kindly of the" trust relationship between the federal government and tribal governments". Didn't sound like they trusted the Federal Government at all.

    Well we didn't set out to cheat them, we didn't exercute treaties and then uproot the natives and move them a thousand miles away or conduct death matches. We didn't make military incursions with the intention of wiping them out, what we did was just ignore their existence for say a hundred years or two. So when you speak about what others have done remember we do what we do with a different ethos and we recognise mistakes and change

    Congressman: Bundy Militia Has Set Up Road 'Checkpoints' In Nevada

    Quote:

    The militia, as reported by Horsford's constituents, "have set up checkpoints where residents are required to prove they live in the area before being allowed to pass," the letter said.
    They have also maintained a presence, sometimes armed, along highways and roads, as well as community sites like churches and schools, the letter asserted.

It's a free country but making it a lawless one in light of your rant about a lawless administration is ridicules and you know it.

    To add BLM had a lawful court order to deal with Bundy until those out of state militias showed up. That seems to be a problem for you Smoothy without that cup of coffee you get lame, and entitled and fail to see the utter hypocrisy of your position. Your account of events is grossly inaccurate.

    They aren't policing Bunkerville. They remain on private property with the exception of small groups tagging along with Bundy. Being on private property is no crime so long as it is done with permission. In this case they do have the permission of the owner.

    What business did the BLM have in Nevada with paid mercenary snipers anyway?

    And if any of US hired mercenary snipers... we'd be doing a long stint in a Federal prison.

    THe BLM isn't the police....they don't have police powers...and they certainly aren't a private army.

    Really not surprised Tal...You think the NY Slimes and the Washington comPost Are some kind of pillars of indisputible fact and the only news fit to print....if they don't cover it then it didn't happen. Fact is there are a LOT of things going on ignored by the Pro-Obama press who fudged reality to help get him into office and for the most part are still covering up for all his transgressions......except in a few cases where cracks are forming and they let slip out something not favorible to him from time to time.

    We agree Bundy and his volunteer mercenaries protecting him from arrest should e in federal prison.

    Yes they do, on federal lands.
