Right-wing media are fanning the flames of a conflict between a federal agency and their new hero -- a scofflaw Nevada rancher who's threatening a violent range war against the federal government.
Cliven Bundy, a cattle rancher in Nevada, has been fighting the government over grazing rights on public land for nearly a quarter century. In 1993, Bundy began refusing to pay government fees required to allow his cattle to exploit public lands. In 1998,
the government issued a court order telling Bundy to remove his cows from the land, as part of an effort to protect the endangered desert tortoise located there. And in July 2013, a federal court ordered Bundy to get his cattle off public land within 45 days or they would be confiscated. The confiscation began this month, and the cattle will be sold to pay off the $1 million in fees and trespassing fines Bundy owes.
for 25 years he's skated and ha free grazing for his for profit ranch, now he's bitching because it's time to pay the piper? let's look at it like this, the guy is not cheating the gov't he's ripping off you and me isn't this a gov't of the people, by the people and for the people like Lincoln said or are we the gov't divided by thiose who still believe that and those who never have.
the gov't is protecting our interest from right wing deadbeat that wants to threaten them if they try and enforce the law, i think they think the country will rally in their favor if any paert dof the country did it would be that minority that has lost the last to nat'l elections
