The movement against the BLM and Forestry Service western lands takeover continues to build, with the aftermath of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge demonstration and the slaying of rancher LaVoy Finicum by federal agents serving as a rallying point for those who believe the federal government has grown too big and powerful, particularly in the western states. Don’t miss the video included later in the article.
The compliant media has circled the wagons to declare the demonstrators were radical, right-wing constitutionalists, as if the U.S. Constitution can be protected and promoted too much.
Somehow, those who dismiss the ranchers and their supporters in the western states can’t see that the government, which “owns” over 50 percent of the land in eleven western states, is much more interested in power and control, and much more committed to radical environmentalists than to farmers and ranchers trying to make a living on the land that, like as not, has been a family pursuit and way of life for generations.
To put a finer point on the issue, mere weeks after the Malheur protesters were arrested and the refuge cleared, President Obama declared three more parcels of land in California as federal land, with little or no future access granted to mere citizens of the state. And by parcels, I mean almost 2 million acres that are now set aside as an offering to the Sierra Club and their ilk, with no compensation offered to California for the taking.
Federal government supporters are painting protesters as lawless cowboys, ignoring the fact that the Constitution prohibits the federal government from owning more than a ten square mile plot in Washington D.C., and areas for forts and military installations that require state approval to acquire.
Watch as the Sheriff fights back in video on the next page:

No BLM and no goat humping muslims lock and load.
Well Karla is a good little liberal, bless her bleeding, ignorant heart.
The BLM is arming….. last year I went to a funeral of a State Director, my Dad’s former boss, and they actually had a military style color guard complete with weapons….. it was bizarre actually…. like as if the guy served in the military…. BLM flag presentation etc.
Everyone in the freakin room was most likely a flaming Liberal, (besides me and my two parents) but that’s because they all learned years ago, being Liberal secured their job and their benefits.
The BLM needs to be dissolved and the land management turned back over to the states.
This is eventually where it’s gonna need to go ….with law enforcement standing up and refusing to do the unconstitutional things they are asked to do….and I for one would definitely back them up!!!!
Out with the Feds!!!
This cowboy is going to war with the Federal government
