Militia members are changing the lyrics on an Oregon BLM public land site to "this land is mine, mine, mine land, this land is my land." Naturalists: Ahem! Animals: Ahem!
Matt depicts it well, but understates actually how the Bundys and their “militia” buddies stack up.
1. They’ve committed treason, in Nevada and again in Oregon by taking up arms against the United States. (They don’t have to fire them.
2. There is absolutely NO SUPPORT FOR THEIR CLAIMS Of “OWNERSHIP” in the Constitution, or in over 200 years of laws and court decisions including the SCOTUS.
3. The Bundys are thieves, stealing over a million dollars from TAXPAYERS, as well as causing damage to the public lands that belong to ALL OF US.
Having only 40+ years dealing with folks using, and in the case of most ranchers, abusing, the land for pennies on the dollar they pay in leasing, while getting benefits worth billions such as water projects, seedlings, etc
I am sickened that anyone thinks these CRIMINALS represent the actual minority of ranchers (by far, most ranches are owned by corporations, not “families”) who cooperate with the government and actually care for the land properly and don’t complain about the miniscule fees they pay.
There is a massive effort out there, including in Congress, to steal away the most sacred right of ALL Amercians to manage, protect, and preserve the public lands, BLM, Forest Service, F & WS, National Parks, and other resource agencies, for the public good, as established in the Constitution, Laws, and regulations.
Even as oil prices drop because of a glut, some on the right still demand “drill baby drill” on public land to essentially steal that resource as well from the taxpayer at far below fair market value, while destroying the land, and waters (fresh and oceanic) forever.
This dustup on the Malheur is but a mere tip on the iceberg of theft, lies, and treason actually, committed by those out to steal our heritage, that also includes on the Refuge, Native American items of heritage they intend to steal in violation of the law.
It’s a much bigger picture, and it isn’t some phony John Wayne on the range movie, but the worst actions and actors from “The Godfather” and this gang is waging war on US, all of US. It is time to destroy them and their phony image in the public eye and mind.
