Now he’s snubbing the local governments as well as the feds. I say that this is a situation that, if it actually exists, cannot be allowed to continue and should be ended as peacefully as possible but knowing that ending it is the priority and any other outcome is unacceptable.

Yeah, this is starting to sound very Whiskey Rebellion.
What I wonder is : how do these chucklefucks support themselves and their friendly little hippie commune ? They’ve got to eat and can’t live on welfare beef alone. They must have pick-up trucks to fuel too, Coors Light to crunch and so on. Ammunition bills. Lots of overheads underfoot. Redneck Militiaing can’t pay all that well, and they’ve been over there for a month or so now, right ?
Lawlessness out West? You don’t say. Why is Cliven bundy such a priority now, presenting an unacceptable situation that the government cannot allow to continue, but our porous border is not?
Thanks to recent improvements in technology, the federal government of the United States is able to address as many as *three *things at once these days.
Yet they choose not to. Prosecutorial discretion is the reality and there really was no urgent national need served by using force in the Bundy situation. For the same reason we don’t put troops on the border. We need armed agents on public lands just as little.
Clearly the Cabal of Illegal Aliens is providing them with the support they need, so as to divert attention from our fragile borders (which also keeps a cohort of militiamen out of the way, where they cannot ride up and down the length of the fence to fend off the evil horde).
If you say so.
I’m still not quite clear on what this non-sequitur of yours has to do with anything or what brought it onto the table, other than possibly as a “Look ! Behind you ! A three-headed monkey !”.
It means that caving to Cliven Bundy is not a threat to the republic, or even the federal government’s regulatory power. The administration picked the wrong battle.
This statement is vacuous, ignores basic facts and is so massively wrong that I’m shocked it hasn’t collapsed the whole board through the sheer weight of its stupidity.
Man, there are so many of those going on. Are there *any *true flag operations left, or is everybody just pretending to work for everyone else and bungling everything on purpose ?
Actually that would make for an amusing short story.
I would say this get us halfway there:
*They griped and moaned that this new crowd, who kept going on about how everything in the news was a “false flag,” and that no one was actually hurt at the Boston Marathon bombings, or at UCSB, or at Sandy Hook — that it was all so obviously off-the-charts nutty, it was giving the conspiracy field a bad name.
And then it dawned on me.
My God, even a second-grader could see it! Who was responsible for destroying the conspiracy field? Who was turning the world of speculative investigation, UFOlogy, cryptozoology, and so many other promising fields of inquiry into one, big, false flag joke?
As the thought took hold in my brain, I could see it plain as day. Born in 1974, the year after MK Ultra “ended” — at least officially — and in Dallas, where the mother of all conspiracies was born 11 years earlier.
Of course! Who was responsible for turning an entire segment of the population into a drooling, brain-addled mob just ripe for government manipulation and exploitation?
It was there under our noses all the time. Alex Jones is a false flag. Probably controlled by HAARP antennas and fluoridation.
The prodigal son didn’t get anything, he already received and frittered away his inheritance. The father celebrated because his son returned to him but the “good son” was going to inherit everything because the prodigal son had already received his inheritance.
I blame the father for giving the younger son his inheritance so early.
Cliven Bundy isn’t just breaking the law, he is defying the law.
Other than the use of a double negative, I don’t see how his description of the Hispanic immigrants that he has encountered is bad or wrong.
Right, because the administration could have foreseen hundreds of right wing whackos converging on the bundy ranch to defend cattle with force of arms against the federal government.
Given that he rejects the validity of the US government, which we could infer means he does not perform any of his civic duties, I think it would be reasonable to declare that he is not a citizen.
Perhaps we could have him deported. He could live in Las Vegas International Airport, like that character in the Terminal, until we could find a country willing to take him.
In addition to being grossly immoral, and supporting Bundy’s movement (by showing the federal government to be arbitrary and tyrannical), this would be unconstitutional.
