By now most people are familiar with the potentially deadly situation emerging at the Bundy ranch in Nevada. Right now, the back-story is not nearly as important as the immediate necessity to de-escalate this life-and liberty threatening situation, although it does play an important role and must be addressed.
he fact that this situation could have been pulled from the script of the 1974 movie Chinatown or any of theGodfather movies is well known and must be exposed, but not before immediate action is taken to assure the preservation of life and liberty.
The current critical nature of the crisis cannot be understated. In alleged response to a 20-year-old battle over “illegal cattle grazing,” along with a more recent claim related to ostensibly protecting the allegedly endangered desert tortoise, the federal Bureau of Land Management has been dispatched to the Bundy ranch. Do not be fooled by the innocuous sounding name of this federal agency, however, as the deployment now consists of some 200 heavily armed federal troops, transported by military troop carriers and equipped with sniper rifles and other military armaments. It is an army by any other name.
Meanwhile, in response to this show of force, armed members of patriotic militias are rallying around the Bundy ranch en masse to protect the rights of a rancher and his family. Clearly, the lines of battle are being drawn. Patriots and militias appear to be preparing to square off against this federal army who are present in numbers undeniably disproportionate to any perceived or actual threat.
Is the scene of the battle begins to take form, the situation is needlessly and recklessly being permitted to escalate in words and deeds. Today, Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins threatened the patriotic militia members rallying around the Bundys by publicly stating that those planning to travel to Nevada in their support “better have funeral plans.” Clearly, these are fighting words and an obvious escalation to an already volatile situation.

Attention DHS. Take note here. We the people will not be intimidated. By any or all your hired gun toting thugs!
The Governor and the Sheriff are pussies.
The federal government of these united states is the most criminal/corrupt entity on planet earth.
It’s time to clean house….10th amendment style.
I think we are ready to stand up now.
While I have the utmost respect for the Bundy Family and their lifes work, I have to say that I implore them to stand down.
There is a better way to handle this. It is called the court of law. It is instituted to prevent this type of situation where life and limb and property should be put at risk.
Property can be restored. Lives cannot.
Passionate as those involved may be, it is best to let cooler heads prevail. Let mob mentality fall aside, and take this to a court of law. The world IS watching.
Let GENTLEMEN behave as such. And Thugs be seen for what they are.
What will it profit the Bundy Family to win a war and lose ONE member of their family or friends in the process?
Or Lose all of them, or half of the family?
Is it Not their family that they are working this farm FOR? Then why risk the family, IN a war?
Take it to court. AT least the chances are 50/50.
In the current situation it is far more grave.
