Good news and bad news.
The good news is the goobermint, in the form of the BLM, actually backed down from instigating something worse than Ruby Ridge or Waco when faced with a reported 2000 to 2500 armed citizens and militia members who showed up to protect the Bundy family from government snipers. This situation had the potential to turn into a major disaster. All it would have taken was one trigger happy whacko on EITHER side.
If you just look at this particular instance, you think, well, there was wrongdoing on both sides. Apparently Bundy hadn't payed the grazing fees for years. But the causes of the reactions from Joe Western Citizen goes back a long ways. I remember hearing bitching about high-handed BLM tactics since the mid 80's. And the EPA is pulling the same kind of crap. It's built up for many years and people have finally had enough.
Now here's the kicker : Seems the esteemed Senator from Nevada, Harry Reid, has a huge financial interest in the BLM kicking the ranchers in that area off that land. Gee, that's a surprise huh?
This is only one link, you can find many more.

This country today reminds me of Lot asking God if He would spare Sodom if He found one righteous man in the city. Would He find even ten amongst the 535 in our Congress? Yeah, I guess He might find ten, but that's about all.
Stand up for Freedom,
Dumb Farmer
