Cliven Bundy

American politics are a lot bigger than what you see
on the surface mainstream news..

Reports of 5000 miltia men could be headed there to
confront the feds,i've heard the number of militia
men could be as high as 10 million.

There is a powder keg ready to go off down there.

Any relation to Al bundy?

[bgmb]

Sounds like one stubborn SOB appears he will not be giving in.

[Hopperbin]

Couldn't the USA gov't just wait a few years for him to have a heart attack.

Sounds as if they have the same problems we have . Those on crown land for free and get pissed if anyone should sujest they actuly pay for what you use.
Hell mabey I wont pay my taxes? think I will get the milita support?

[mbdog]

Just another example of government think tank finding ways to tax without looking in a mirror.
Not sayin Cliven doesn't owe something, buy it takes a real rocket scientist tin badge beurocrat to dream up a million dollar liability case out of useless desert.
This is exactly what is wrong in THIS country.
The story is retarded....I side with Cliven.

This land is productive because of mr bundys family. They have fenced it, put up corrals and a homestead , barns etc.
The govt or anyone else has no right to charge rent on something they havent provided.

[perfecho]

Just saying.....so those raised in a welfare state should remain that way?

[perfecho]

That comment was to some of the above posters...not the Bundy story....I don't know the whole story and probably never will.....

[cottonpicken]

Not to sure on all the specifics of this story,i think he
wants to pay his fees to the state of nevada bla bla
dont know.

But the point is underneath it all there are fault lines
of MAJOR discontent.

How americans view themselves is not how we view
them,they would have no problem calling the whole
thing off and we could EASILY see the most powerful
nation on the planet breaking up into 5-6 regions.

I think its fascinating ,but most canucks don't
know/dont care.

What a world we would have if we were all like
him. She'd be a battle.

The self interest people or groups should
remember the whole is greater than the sum of its
parts. Right Quebec? Maybe thats assuming all
parts are of equal value, monetarily and socially,
and treated as such.
