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.

Jesus you people need new tinfoil hats
You people are the reason that America will never be the greatest country in the world.you vote for the very people that oppress you and then happily ask for more abuse.I want a secular president,I want my president to be for the people.Bernie Sanders has been an outstanding member of society, he has stood for equal rights,equal pay,marriage equality, gender equality.we don’t need to spend any more money on a military of this size.nearly 56% of our national budget goes to the military, and only 16% on education.I think teaching our younger generation the skills they need to be successful is more important than starting wars for profit and invading countries that have nothing to do with anything.call me crazy…
Building a stupid fucking wall and bombing innocent civilians in foreign countries is the epitome of crazy.
