That's a funny definition of patriotism you've got there, fella


Rancher Cliven Bundy (back 2nd L) talks on stage beside Clark County Sheriff Douglas Gillespie (back 3rd L) in Bunkerville, Nevada, April 12, 2014. Gillespie announced the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was ceasing its cattle roundup operation. Armed U.S. rangers had been rounding up cattle on federal land in Nevada in a rare showdown with Bundy, a rancher who has illegally grazed his herd on public lands for decades, as conflict over land use simmers in western states. The standoff with the BLM stems in part from Bundy's belief that their right to graze the land predates the federal government's management of it, and that the county and state should ultimately have authority over lands in their boundaries.

I have a question about the Nevada rancher who nearly caused various of our nation's fine militia folks to start shooting at federal agents, so determined they were to protect Mr. Cliven Bundy's right to graze his private herd of cattle on whatever land he feels like free of charge forever and ever because libberty.
Bundy doesn’t recognize the federal government. Speaking to conservative radio host Dana Loesch last week, he said he believes in a “sovereign state of Nevada” and abides by all state laws, but, “I don’t recognize the United States government as even existing.”
So if that's the case, why does he keep waving American flags around?
 this guy did not know IMO that he would get so many crazies to come to his side but are they or are they pushing another agenda and using him as a stepping stone.   waving a flag that you are at that time disrespecting only shows their ignorance and misguided since of beind rebels without a cause. they have to know that his particular problem won't go away and he would not escape punishment but if they can provoke the gov't then they can spin this militia BS and claim they are exercising their constitutional rights and are not the criminals they really are.

Fox tried to compare Ruby Ridge and the other encounters to this again they forget to do their homework those people died and lost.
