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:
Radical Constitutionalist!? When the heck did believing in the Constitution make us radical!?
—-I kinda think he would.
less roll.
This has to be the dumbest comment I’ve ever read! If you can’t tell the difference between these ranchers and black lives matter, then I can’t help you. There’s no cure for stupid. The government doesn’t own the land. It’s the people’s land. The constitution is the ONLY law that matters! If any law goes against the constitution, then that so called “law” is void. One group is a racist, terrorist organization that destroys cities, burns down people’s businesses and murders innocent police. The other group is fighting a tyrannical government that has stolen what’s rightfully theirs. Now try and figure out the difference, MORON!
Who is the people? In your next reply try a little more logic and a less emotion. All that emotion make you appear really stupid. If it is the “people’s” land, can I ship my cattle from Texas and graze some of it too? Can you give us the exact portion of the constitution that denies the federal government from owning land, or are you just being lead around like a 3,500 pound bull with a ring in his nose? By the Marbury v. Madison established Judicial Review, The Northwest Ordinance outlined how territories OWNED by the U.S. could become states. Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory for the U.S. 30 years after the Constitution was written. Should we give the middle portion of our country back because it wasn’t legal for him to do that? Your families didn’t seem to have a problem with the federal government taking all that land from its rightful owners (American Indians) 100+ years ago. Should we give it back to them since the federal government took it from them illegally? Again, y’all sound like another greedy, “entitled” group that expects something from the government that the rest of us aren’t getting. I think they call that welfare! I am not a fan of federal bureaucracy or the federal government in general, but I am sick of different groups getting on pity parties because they feel entitled to something that belongs to all of us that work and pay taxes.
