a handful of untrained nutjobs threatening the federal government with small arms is a great strategy.

They single handedly just postponed the feared "Red Invasion" for another 20 years.

Figures. Not much land in Texas is worth protecting for the public.

If one is going to read a lettered tattoo in the mirror, wouldn't the lettering need to tattooed in reverse? Just a helpful hint for when you visit the tattoo parlor.

There was a great piece in the Vegas paper over the weekend. Getting to know your militia members.

PS. I just got confirmation that all the agencies are cancelling their southwestern willow flycatcher (endangered bird) along the Virgin River until these Bundy supporters have cleared out.

“We’re all here for the long haul, if the BLM wants to drag this out six months, 12 months, two years,” he said. "If they want to end it tomorrow, we’re here until the population feels safe enough for us to leave.”

“I know that if we weren’t here, they’d probably already be dead.”

I really don't understand the militia mentality...

No good comes of that.

Psychos. Or poseurs looking for an excuse to fatigue up and "bear arms".

A thoughtful essay on the Clive Bundy mess, including a reference to Bundy's trampling of the US constitution:

I do not wish to live in a third-world mobocracy, where local warlords or drug cartels or their ilk, together with their private armies, have authority over territory which should properly be controlled by the lawful government of the civil state. But it now appears that portions of my beloved State of Nevada have fallen prey to this kind of unlawful rule. I do not support Mr. Bundy and his unregulated little band of outlaws, who are assisting him in his continued squatting and trespass on lands he does not own, and it sickens and frightens me that they have won the day and have been successful in their unlawful enterprise. I am also deeply concerned that certain local political candidates have taken up the cause of populist demagoguery in support of Mr. Bundy, and that many of these politicians come from my Republican party.

I had always thought the Republican party stood for upholding the U.S. Constitution, and honored its Lincoln legacy in standing against would-be secessionists. I do not understand how we can uphold the U.S. Constitution when we support a man who does not recognize the existence of the government established by that Constitution, and has called upon armed support to physically resist executive branch officers acting under Article II of the Constitution, enforcing legislation enacted pursuant to Article I of the Constitution, under Orders issued by U.S. District Courts established by Article III of the Constitution. If we conservatives are going to support this man, then what part of the U.S. Constitution do we exactly believe in?

Not the news, but I watched an old COPS episode yesterday where a Mormon high on meth got taken to the hospital. He was shaking uncontrollably, holding his quadruple combination with garments popping out of his jorts.

Well written. Very insightful. His introduction to me seems to be at the heart of the issue here even though the actions taken by Bundy is alarming and he lays it out really well.

UT: Looks like the BLM is coming your way..

After the recent Bundy Ranch episode by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Texans are becoming more concerned about the BLM’s focus on 90,000 acres along a 116 mile stretch of the Texas/Oklahoma boundary. The BLM is reviewing the possible federal takeover and ownership of privately-held lands which have been deeded property for generations of Texas landowners.

Them sonsab*tches!

This was settled by the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1821 and upheld by the 1896 supreme court. In fact, Texas owns most of Nevada, California, New Mexico, and Utah so we will need all you to pay your back rent immediately!

Another dispute occurred after Texas joined the Union. The treaty stated that the boundary between the French claims on the north and the Spanish claims on the south was Rio Roxo de Natchitoches (Red River) until it reached the 100th meridian, as noted on the John Melish map of 1818. But, the 100th meridian on the Melish map was marked some 90 miles east of the true 100th meridian, and the Red River forked about 50 miles east of the 100th meridian. Texas claimed the land south of the North Fork, and the United States claimed the land north of the South Fork (later called the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River). In 1860 Texas organized the area as Greer County. The matter was not settled until a United States Supreme Court ruling in 1896 upheld federal claims to the territory, after which it was added to the Oklahoma Territory.

Texas should negotiate in good faith with the federal government. They can have California and Nevada and Texas can keep New Mexico and Utah. Who actually wants states that elect people like Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid?

And we can give Arizona back to Mexico.
