The Federal government does not like to be challenged, and it has the resources and the power to make citizens yield, and does so when it cannot win the argument. If you have been following the conflict in Oregon recently between ranchers and the Federal government, you will know that the government, which owns over 50% of the land in eleven western states, is willing to jail you for unintended trespass of undeveloped, unoccupied land.
Two ranchers who did some brush clearing of their own ranch, but inadvertently burned some of the adjoining federal land, are now in prison for a long stay, based on a charge of arson. It is worth pointing out that the fire they started was put out by the ranchers without outside help, and the land itself is actually now healthier and more productive due to the reduction of brush and overgrowth. But the government wants to make sure that everyone understands they are in charge and they have the power.
A small group of ranchers, led by Ammon Bundy, are occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge building in protest of the unjust sentence and the overbearing government position. Fortunately, no violence has developed, but Bundy and his group have vowed to stay until the two ranchers in question are freed. But the government still wants to make a strong point, and they have enlisted a judge to help them.
Huge fine threatened, page 2:
Obama’s judge
Then sue the state and the judges for the stolen properties they have taken away from the people, plus interest !!
Shut it Coulter
Government tramps on the laws, then wants to fine those who oppose the governments underhanded tricks. This is liberty in action, or downright tyranny on the governments part. What do you think? Should government own land or just be a caretaker for it? It’s our country, not the government politicians property.
The federal government seizes citizen’s land and the state fines the citizens. sounds like collusion to me.
Jared Walls Plus, the argument you has was Riots don’t happen in the south because the South has too many “billy Badasses”. So New Orleans must not be the South, Alabama, Agusta,Miami, Fort lauderdale, D.C…I can go on and on. You are incorrect.
That Judge is doing the dirty work for Obama. What is happening in this country? I know it’s Godless.
Bull$#%&!@* Whzt is wrong with this Judge. Must be an AObn
Put the Judge in JAIL
What woodwork are these unconstitutional judges crawling out of?
