How's this for an answer to Reid's " this isn't over " land grab ?

The Center for Biological Diversity is an environmental terror group that uses its incestuous relationship with the Bureau of Land Management to attack citizens through lawsuits and government intimidation. The Bureau of Land Management is engaged what amounts to the condemnation and taking of individual property rights to extend the Center for Biological Diversity's war on people. The BLM is litigating land use, water rights and energy production in concert with the Center for Biological Diversity and the EPA essentially highjacking personal property rights in favor of federal control over virtually everything. The Center for Biological Diversity is the Bermuda Triangle of Environmental Fascism with the other two points of Triangulation being the Sierra Club and PETA.

One of the purposes for the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights demanded by "anti-Federalist" farmers and tradesmen was to direct the new "well regulated [a military term meaning fully trained and equipped] select corps of the young and ardent" (today's National Guard) -- wanted by the Federalist Party bankers and merchants to protect heir businesses from rebellions like Shays had been -- to first defend their states against federal domination.

Another purpose was to insure the rest of the citizens had military weapons to help them take either of those actions as citizens decide is necessary.

Mom Hubbard is right. When you defend your own land from trespassers that's not a 'land grab'.

So a relative few politicians--state legislators and congressmen--have gotten together to snag a little publicity. You know why this land belongs to the federal govt? Because the states didn't want it! Nevada has more BLM land than any other state (except maybe Alaska) because the land isn't good for anything! Bundy probably could have gotten that land legitimately through the homestead act. (Oh, except that that's a federal thing and he doesn't recognize the federal govt. He said that. As he was riding around on a horse carrying a big American flag!)

My idea: Gather all the conservative Nevadans and explain to them that Nevada can take over its BLM land any time it wants. BUT instead of all the taxpayers in the US paying for management, security, etc., THEY will pay. Then ask them if they still want to do that. 8^) Then ask them if Cliven Bundy is still a patriot or a freeloader.

Well when you consider that one of the things environmentalist push is local control stating that the people in the community would be better stewards of the land this would fit into that theme.

The locals wand the land to remain healthy as it is their livelihood.

A bureaucrat in Washington has no idea what the land looks like or its condition from year to year.

But the locals know as they are constantly on the land.

Glad to see it. That's exactly what needs to happen.

Well all I get is a blank page when I go to that site...oh well. As far as "land grab" goes, this is already federal land, it does not belong to this guy, it belongs to the public. Why the hell should these people be entitled to take over land that belongs to the public?

Yes, the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions (a.k.a. "CRED") should die a little more every time someone says that.

Bunch of right-wing loonies. We took care of people like this in 1865 and we'll do it again. This is the UNITED States of America, not Redneck Nation.

That's a awesome article. Hopefully they proceed with it.

When an American says "land grab" cred dies a little more.
