The US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues its assault on the western states with a desire to rule all from Washington D.C. The federal government lays claim to over 50% of the land in eleven western states, and is continually seeking to expropriate more territory, in spite of a clear restriction found in the Constitution indicating that the federal government is prohibited from owning such tracts in the various states in the first place.
Environmentalists can also be counted on to demand that ranchers, farmers, and citizens be rounded up and forced into tiny, cubicle like structures in cities in order to “preserve the land and to save mother earth,” and so they act as a proxy and supporter to the illegal activities of the federal government. The government is so determined to steal the land that they have jailed a number of ranchers who had the audacity to question the federal government. Citing Constitutional limits got several ranchers jailed, with decades of potential jail time being threatened, and a 70 year old rancher is now stuck in solitary confinement due to his “dangerous and threatening” nature.
The crux of the matter is that 70 year old rancher Cliven Bundy has been grazing his cows in a barren and remote section of the Nevada desert, and the federal government is demanding over $1 million for his use of the land. Bundy claims that the land is Nevada state property, and he is willing to pay the state for the use, but not the federal government for the unlawful taking.
Now that Bundy is in jail, the federal government is once again threatening to “cow-nap” his herd, and the obnoxious environmental groups are encouraging the unlawful federal action.

Now what…tell mealie-mouth Harry to STFU!
Screw the trash “groups” into fence post holes.
This time we shoot…
Think that through. Calculate the math.
What group ? Reid faux farm ?
Fed control ends at beltway
Damn has ISIS or Al Quiada taken over the ranches in the western U.S. or has some one forgotten that these ranchers are hard working American Citizens who feed us and put shoes on our feet!
Hillary and Sen Reid SOLD that land to the Chinese and now they have to get rid of the Bundy’s ranch so the Chinese can install a large SOLAR FARM. And the American people were NOT informed either before or after. Hillary and Sen Reid are liars, cheats, thieves and murderers. WHY ARE WE SO QUIET ABOUT THEIR CRIMES??
Okay, 20 years of freeloading, squatting, on my (the taxpayer’s) land. Owes $1 Million in back land use fee. That breaks down to $50,000 per year it would seem. But not really. There is interest on the money owed over the years. Even at mortgage rate interest over that time, it works out to “rent” of a little over $20,000 per year. Assuming that he has been using about 5,000 acres (which would be about the required grazing area for the number of cattle he has), that works out to about $4 per acre per year. That is not excessive, not at all, if fact, that is dirt cheap. So, since he has been making a profit off of my (the taxpayer’s) land, without paying the required rent due me (the taxpayer), then whatever is needed to collect my (the taxpayer’s) money I say go for it.
Seize livestock. What is wrong with this country. Seize illegals
and Isis. Good gracious.
