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:

Yes. The government is out of control and oppressing the citizens.
BLM is getting too big. They seem to forget that they work for the people. They can be taken out of office. It only takes the right person in office go Donald Trump 2016

We have civil war.
The land belongs to the American people not the bureaucrats. Who are so consumed with envy n hate against citizens who know how to take care of themselves and don’t depend on them. power
Behind every blade of grass
Amen
Valid Question. I would imagine that some of the soldiers would immediately defect and protect their homes and families, and the Citizen to Soldier rate would lean heavily towards the Citizens who would be ‘Legally’ armed as per the 2nd Amendment. I think the Obama Administration is aware of that.
