Funniest Fight Ever. (Cliven Bundy DU Style)

One of the problems with that too is that federal land isn't property-taxed, like privately-owned land, and so it puts more pressure on the private landowneres, who do pay taxes/

I don't understand how the government owns that much land in the West.  Nevada looks like the whole state belongs to the Feds.  Why on earth would anyone even want to live there?

BLM only manages/controls a bunch of that.  They don't own any. 

Government owned is Forest Service (which in WY sometimes doesn't have a tree on it), State, County, the odd "school sections." 

The BLM also imposes restrictions on private land if they decide they know best and get a judge to agree with them.

While many of the people who work for the BLM are decent, reasonable people, the agency, as it is directed by Washington and various thinkers, is quite the PITA.

224. Tell that to Washington and the revolutionaries
 
King George could have said the exact same thing, "and the next time, and the time after that. Either we have laws which are obeyed or we don't." Oh, and it was the law of the land that runaway slaves had to be returned to their rightful owners. There is a point when tyranny becomes so oppressive that a line needs to be drawn, or as Obama calls it "a red line". The BLM has been sytematically driving ranchers out of business. The Bundys and their supporters have said no more. If the BLM (feds) bring in their vastly superior fire power, yes, there will be a bloodbath.

Both this noob and Dusty Joe are still there, not tombstoned.  Nadin tried to tell Dusty to "get educated" but he said his piece and left.
