FREE SPEECH and the BATTLE OF BUNDY RANCH

PRESIDENT OBAMA'S BLM (BUREAU  OF LAND MANAGEMENT) HAS SET UP A 10 ACRE "FREE SPEECH" ZONE ON SOME 600,000 LEAVING THOSE FOLKS ON THE REMAINING 599,990 ACRES WITHOUT THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.  THIS ALL CAME ABOUT BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S DISPUTE WITH RANCHER CLIVEN BUNDY OVER HIS RIGHT TO USE STATE LAND REGULATED BY THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT.  THE FEDS SENT IN ARMED AGENTS TO ROUND UP BUNDY'S CATTLE AND CONFISCATE THEM TO PAY BACK FEES.  YESTERDAY HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF GROWING PROTEST, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDED TO WITHDRAW THE ARMED FEDERAL AGENTS AND ABANDON THE EFFORT TO ROUND UP THE CATTLE.  BUT NOT BEFORE SPENDING SOME $1,000,000 OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS IN THEIR FAILED EFFORT.  BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, LET ME SAY I AGREE WITH THE DECISION OF THE BLM TO STAND DOWN AND LEAVE THE BUNDY RANCH.  THAT SAID, THIS MOVE ON THE PART OF THE FEDS (I SURE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF PRESIDENT OBAMA) TO SURRENDER TO RANCHER BUNDY ISN'T SURPRISING IN THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO BE A WEAK LEADER TIME AND TIME AGAIN DURING HIS 5 YEARS IN OFFICE.  THE MAN HAS NO SPINE AND IS SIMPLY AFRAID OF CONFRONTATION.  NOW THAT, THAT IS OUT OF THE WAY LET ME SAY THAT THIS CONFLICT IN THE DESERT OF NEVADA HAS SHOWN THAT ONE MAN WILLING TO STAND UP TO THE POWER OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER FOR CLIVEN BUNDY AND THOSE WHO RALLIED TO HIS JUST CAUSE.
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE NEWLY APPOINTED HEAD OF THE BLM IS A CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND OF HARRY REID FROM NEVADA AND THAT SENATOR REID IS NO FRIEND TO NEVADA RANCHERS AND HAS RECEIVED LITTLE SUPPORT FROM THEM IN THE PAST.  PERHAPS THIS IS WHY AFTER MANY YEARS THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT DECIDED TO MOVE ON BUNDY.

And this incident is why the second amendment is so very important for the masses.

Have a fabulous day. :)
