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:
Omg. Really
Obama is rubbing c**p in the face of anyone he believes is conservative.
All that BLM land belongs to me and every one of the 300+million folks in this country. I demand that you step down and stop illegally threatening the Federal Personal required to enforce the law. You are a tiny minority and if you do not desist, you will end up like the un-American, un-patriotic idiot assholes who took over Malheur, dead or in Federal Prison.
I will back this Sheriff. I think he is right on the money and the federal government has gone way too far !
The land is my guess. Power grid…..I. was listening to a guy on a talk spot on fb saying probly happen in yr. Or sooner and better plan for black out for long time.
Thank you Sheriff!!!!
Michael Haley, just because Obama studied constitutional law in college, doesn’t mean he actually follows and lives according to the constitution. Also, you’re pulling numbers out of thin air. The economy is not as stable as you think it is. Trust me! But hey…maybe socialism will work for the U.S.?? Even though it has consistently failed all over the world for generations! I see you’re a Bernie supporter. I’m not surprised! My opinion…anyone who is still supporting politicians in this country in general needs to open their eyes. I hope your liberal savior gets elected so you get the chance to see how wrong you were. I hope you like standing in long lines for health care and scraps of food!!
Finally
Govt has already shown they will kill. This situation is getting sketchier by the day. Eric, due to your career, plz b careful in what u post. U NEED to make it to retirement bud.
