GOP lawmakers: Disarm federal ‘Gestapo’ agents over ‘completely insane’ Bundy response

[phantom power]

I give you the GOP - formerly known as the party of law and order, and personal responsibility:

Republican congressmen blasted the Bureau of Land Management last week for their handling of the April standoff with Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy over unpaid grazing fees.

“Whether Bundy was right or wrong, was the BLM’s response reasonable?” said Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA). “Anyone watching that unfolding fiasco can answer it was completely insane.”

McClintock, who has suggested the Second Amendment guarantees a right to own any weapons used by the government, called for disarming BLM agents.

...

Federal courts have ruled that Bundy owes more than $1 million in fees and penalties for grazing cattle on federal land for more than 20 years without a permit, but the rancher refuses to acknowledge federal authority over public lands.

A Utah county official who recently voted to withdraw recognition of federal authority said the scofflaw rancher was supported by “everyday citizens” who were also frustrated by their treatment by BLM officials.

It's 'insane' for the BLM to enforce the law, but insurrectionists like this guy are A-OK, just 'everyday citizens":

1. Yes the Bundy response was completely insane.

Letting a nutcase terrorist group cow federal authority? Totally insane.

2. They have no sense and no shame.

3. The GOP is a pox on humanity, they live and breath blood and death, hatred and fear.

Laws only matter if they can either break them or they can be immune from them. I swear, there will come a time when people realize just how much damage the GOP did to America and how it stunted our growth as a nation...for dam near 50 years!


Civilians taking up sniping positions on government officials trying to enforce the law is sane? YES, in the GOP world.

4. Yes it was insanity by Bundy folks....not the U.S. Government...

Bundy is a lawbreaker who needs to be incarcerated the thrown into prison along with any of his family members who were complicit in his unlawful acts.

This is the difference. Progressives believe in the law. Cons believe in it only so far as it doesn't hurt their "men". Then it is a law of men.

5. This guy

This guy



Is a limp dick punk ass loser with no balls. He tries to compensate for his lack of masculinity by waving his gunz.

GUNZ!!!!!111!!11!!

[world wide wally]

6. The most insane part of it all is that Bundy and these assholes are still out on the streets...

and I'm sure armed to the teeth with not the best of intentions

[Avalux]

7. The want another civil war.

The Bundy incident, militia idiots converging on the border in Texas.....the GOP is giving these looney tunes the permission to do whatever the fuck they want, regardless of laws.

Lawless, 19th century wild west....that's what they want.

8. I keep wondering how history will remember the Bundy Cow-Pie rebellion........

Appears to be looking more and more as if this group of terrorists will be remembered as.......
Those great patriots that stood up to the federal Gestapo.

[phantom power]

9. History is written by the winners - currently the domestic terrorists are winning.

Mostly by default, as there's been no opposition to speak of.

[wandy]

10. And this is one of those things where the longer it goes on the more......

nasty it will be to resolve.
To the least, that property should have a lean placed on it.
In some states fishing, hunting and even driver licenses can be revoked over matters of child support.
Why not?
In Detroit water is turned off for bills far less than one million dollars.
Why not?
The terrorist "patriots" also have drivers licenses, reregistration and what ever.
Why not?

There are hundreds of non violent ways to solve this.
Why not?
Is it because the Bundy Cow-Pie Rebellion sets the president for Koch owned public land strip mines?
