Or any bundy anywhere. Ever.

Hope this guy doesn't get wind of this thread.

What about Al Bundy?

I believe Peg made it to Oregon a couple of times in Sons of Anarchy. Oops. *Spoiler*

[RC Vikings]

What about Al Bundy?

I never understood why Al kept turning down Peg, he'd let himself go since his football days, he didn't bring home a lot money and Peg was still kinda hot. I always wondered if it was because Bud was clearly not Al's kid.

That is a great mystery.

I stopped watching after I realized that Al wasn't going to hook up with Marcie.

I have no doubt that there are folks within the BLM that are vindictive, arrogant, power hungry SOB's who will do whatever they want and justify their actions as being in the best interest of the country, people, world, whatever.

Wasn't there a hearing in Southern Utah just this past week or so in which some US Senators or Reps were chastising the BLM for not following the letter and intent of some land use legislation?

And reading some of the allegations made from those supporting the ranchers imprisoned for arson sound pretty damning of the "government" - if they are found to be true.

But that certainly doesn't justify the actions of the "patriots." The Boston Tea Party and eventually the revolution - was much more about the tyrannical government oppressing the people and the people having no means of redress. "Taxation without representation." The rights of the citizens.

We don't live in that world. They have representation. They have the opportunity to vote and to express their concerns to their representatives in government. As much as they want to turn this into that - this has never been and never will be anything remotely similar to the American Revolution.

All that aside - it makes me wonder how much more effective these guys could've been if they had committed to haunting the halls of the house and senate office buildings for the amount of time they were committed to taking over this remote facility. If they had spent that same time - months or years according to them - staying on their elected leaders and hammering their concerns/demands, I tend to think they would've gotten at least as much press. And they likely could've found some elected officials who might've been willing to have a staffer look into their issues. They may have even found a handful of legislators who would champion their cause.

Exactly. For experts on the constitution, these guys don't seem know much about how it works.

[SeattleUte]

Swish. Are you glad you got your wish, JL? Are you really so clueless that you didn't see this outcome as inevitable?

[Green Monstah]

Irresponsible. Bundy ends up in jail and six kids are without a father. I wonder what the long term affects will be on them. He had to know that this wouldn't end well.

The guy who was killed has 11 kids, although I believe they are mostly grown. I think he was also LDS.

looks like bell's palsy to me

His head was run over by a vehicle when he was seven. A bone sliver did some nerve damage and his left side had drooped ever since.

Perhaps a little more Sermon on the Mount and and little less Captain Moroni may help also.

Wow. It's a little bizarre to me that you viewed (through an Al Bundy lens) Marcie as desireable.

Where Mainstream Republican Candidates Are Most Popular

Mr. Rubio may be strong in Utah for another reason: appeal among Mormons. He was a Mormon for some time as a child while living in Las Vegas, and he still has extended family who are part of the Mormon Church. He has played up this element of his biography in Nevada, his best early state.

Yeah, I can't see Al ever wanting to get with Marcie. I always thought that they'd play the Peg-Marcie angle at some point.

I read somewhere they were foster children.
