I challenge ANYONE on this board to show me where local ranchers supported Bundy.
I'm guessing you can't.

It's just way over your head because you don't know what I know and you're not willing to learn.
Just answer this question to the best of your ability: why did they dress up like Natives?
The first of four panels depicts an oppressed American; the Indian, dejected, lies under a pine tree as his oppressors approach him -- the prime minister (carrying a chain) and Lord Bute (caricatured as a flying devil in tartan with the Stamp Act in his claw) -- trying to crowd out the angel of liberty.
On the second panel of the obelisk, as Liberty raises her trumpet, the victorious Indian, who has already risen to one knee, points over his shoulder to the retreating British lords, the victims of a cloudburst. On the third panel, an eagle (another national symbol adopted from Native American cultures) feeds her young atop yet another borrowed symbol, the Liberty Tree (the Great White Pine of the Iroquios), as the angel looks on and blesses the scene. The final panel finds King George III at last introducing America (the Indian figure) to the Goddess of Liberty.
Bundy's family started ranching about 8 years after the BLM was started.
Sorry, but this sorry welfare cowboy owes my government (and myself as a taxpayer) about one million dollars.
If he doesn't pay, put the fucker in jail.
And............if you would take time to notice, none of the people who showed up to support him weren't local ranchers, they were all right wing lunatics who wanted to take down the government.
The station reported census records show Bundy’s maternal grandmother, Christena Jensen, was born in Nevada in 1901, and records suggest she later helped settle Bunkerville, where her grandson lives.
No Bundys lived in Bunkerville according to 1930 and 1940 U.S. Census records, but the rancher’s maternal grandparents, John and Christena Jensen, homesteaded a few miles away, in Mesquite, where his mother was born in 1924
CaféAuLait;8979335 said:Just a simple quick question.................
Bundy has stated repeatedly that he doesn't think that the Federal government has any jurisdiction over him.
If that is so, then why was he shown riding a horse and displaying the American flag?
If he only recognizes the state of Nevada, shouldn't he be flying their flag?
I mean................if you don't believe in the federal government, why fly their flag?
No, he never said they don't have any jurisdiction over him, he said they have no jurisdiction over his land.
If he believed the Feds had no jurisdiction over him, he probably would have never paid federal taxes... there is no claim he does not pay his federal taxes.
Okay.................he said they have no jurisdiction over his land.
Still doesn't answer the question of why he's flying a FEDERAL Flag (which he doesn't recognize) over his land?
I mean..............the Stars and Stripes (which I spent over 20 years of my life for, even in 4 different war zones) was flying, and it was done while he was riding.
Like I said.................if he doesn't recognize the federal government, why is he flying their flag?
I thought that the basic flag of the Tea Party was the Gadsden Flag (which is the "don't tread on me") flag.
Why is he flying the Stars and Stripes?

Again, he never said he doesn't recognize the federal government, he does not recognize the federal governments right to manage the land his cattle graze on. There is a difference. A big one. One flies the flag of America on land that is owned by Nevada, yes? Or are you suggesting the American flag is not flown on lands which the state of Nevada owns?

Actually, he HAS said (and even on record with videotape and audio) that he doesn't recognize the federal government.
My question is, how can you live (and get rich off of land) that belongs to the government?
Yes.........the American flag is flown over the States. My question is, why doesn't Bundy recognize the federal government as well as the BLM?
BTW.......................you might wanna check when Bundy and his family became ranchers. It was a few years AFTER the BLM was started.
Sorry............but he's a welfare rancher.
The GOP seems to have a lot of vitriol for those who suck off the government teat in the form of welfare, and they also seem to think that those people who suck off the government teat don't pay taxes as well.
Why is the right wing in such support of Bundy? He doesn't pay for what he gets, and hopes that the government is going to support him.
Just goes to show you, most of the right wing is nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites.
Over 80% of the Nevada area is owned by the federal government, as homesteads of maximum 640 acres (2.6 km2) in the arid state were generally too little land for a viable farm. Instead, early settlers would homestead land surrounding a water source, and then graze cattle on the adjacent public land, which is useless without access to water.
Interesting. The revolutionaries saw the merciless Indian Savages as oppressed? It's a possibility since there were different political opinions at that time, as at any time. This is one of those times. I have a different opinion. Please let me explain:CaféAuLait;8979387 said:It's just way over your head because you don't know what I know and you're not willing to learn.

Why? Let me tell you why, they saw the Mohawk or Indian as a symbol of Liberty. They also frequently corresponded with Iroquois Indians, they believed themselves oppressed like the Indian, they also recognized the Indian was oppressed.
The Sons of Liberty had different units, one of units of the Boston Sons of Liberty was named “Mohawk River Indians”.
When Paul Revere depicted the Liberty Pole on the obelisk, (celebrating the event at the end of the Stamp Act) guess who he depicted as the oppressed American at the base of the pole, an Indian.
And the obelisk erected under Liberty-tree, when everyone celebrated the repel? ? It had four sides, look at it and tell me who he honored along with others....
Underneath, is a long dedication to “every lover of Liberty,”

A man disobeys the law. An element of anti social, anti government, armed men come to the law breaker's defense. An element of anti Obama self defined conservatives conflate a simple issue into an hysterical rant based on flawed logic, prejudice and hypocrisy.
That about sums up the current crisis exploited by FOX, Limbaugh and the rest of AM radio 'philosophers'.
What's wrong in America today? A minority of people who wrap themselves in our flag, carrying guns and a cross interpreting law to suit their personal needs.
So did the men at the Boston Tea Party! Yes, morality, and ethics, the very essence of what let us win WW II is almost snuffed out by the likes of you!
The Revolution, which we hold so dear as the very beginning of a ONCE GREAT REPUBLIC was only fought by 15% of the population.... Chew on that for awhile, subversive!

From this simple quote, it's possible that racist slaveowners in the 1770s tried to use the image of merciless Indian Savages throwing tea into the harbor to fuel a war between Britain and Natives. It is possible that the Boston Tea Party was like a bad frat prank that escalated into a revolution but was not actually intended to be the spark that ignited the revolution. Think of a protest that just got out of hand, like Benghazi.
No, the Founders of the United States of America did not see the Native Americans as oppressed. They labeled them as ruthless murderers in the reasons given for rebelling against England. They did not differentiate between tribes (some Natives were loyal to the colonies against England) and instead painted each and every Native as a bloodthirsty baby-killer in the Declaration of Independence.
There is much of this nation's history that has been (please excuse the term) whitewashed. But that's just my opinion.

Wrong. Not only has he said that. He then said he is in line with the constitution and laws of said government he claims does not exist while riding on horseback waving the flag of the government he said does not exist. Where I come from we call that being a nut bag. And that is saying something when the nut bag king Beck ends up sounding sane. If it is about state land rights fine. But he should make that clear. And he should distance himself from the whackadoodles.

The Iroquois confederation was effectively destroyed during the American revolution, by American forces.
"Domestic Terrorist" is a good way to describe someone who, after repeated losing in court, decides to us intimidation and the use of fire arms to get what the courts and the rules of law say they should not have.
Yes, I think Harry is right on this one. But it ain't over until its over.

Bullshit.
A Domestic Terrorist is somebody local who tries to instill fear in the population through threats or violence.
The only entity that feels threatened is the lying Democrats that feel their ability to bully the public slipping away.

The pieces of shit left wing hypocrites. So easy for them to call a white man in a cowboy hat as a "domestic terrorist" isn't it?
Of course ask any of these ignorant blow hards if this guy is a domestic terrorist, and....well, he is brown in color isn't he? So........
A lot more sympathy for him, even though he actually systematically murdered 13 people while severely injuring 32 others all while chanting "allahu akbar!!!"
Do the hypocritical piles of steaming shit show any outrage? Not one fucking word, except of course telling us he needs to be protected by rights.
Same group of cocksucking assholes that get all bent out of shape when a BROWN terrorist is water boarded.
Do they ever show their disgust that our own soldiers are water boarded in training? Not one fucking word from any of these piles of shit about them. Ever wonder why?
Do not get suckered into their bullshit about the ranch situation. They sure as shit do not give one shit about some fucking turtle (tortoise what ever).
They are all bloviated hypocrites. They are all pathetic.

10 million Americans were drafted in World War II. That is how we won - the federal government forcibly depriving citizens of their life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness...
...presumably the Bundy fans, and their so-called 'principles', are wholeheartedly against the draft, eh?
