The Bundy issue had nothing to do with “grazing fees.” It was about government intimidation. It was a warning to ANYONE that would cross the feds, no matter how minor, that they would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law (no matter how unconstitutional that law might be).
They spent $3 million dollars as a show of force over grazing fees that are coming down from the million dollar figure to a 5-digit fine.
The point the feds were making to ALL of us was that they would spend as much money, use as many personnel, label, marginalize, document and target anyone that would dare to protest their power to rule this country with an iron fist! You don’t spend $3 million to collect $1 million unless there is a larger agenda in play!
President Obama and the Democrats have borrowed this country into oblivion; now they’ve got to come up with something to collateralize that debt. Bundy’s ranch is just the low hanging fruit. Bundy was just an easy target, and they wanted to see how the country would react. Wait until there are no more cattle ranch properties to steal to give to the Red Chinese. If they could bully Bundy off his property and no one noticed, they would be moving on every rancher in the country right now and after that, family homes.
They were baiting the country to see who, among the “folks” would actually come out and fight and who would roll over.
Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck rolled over like a big dog! They failed us.
The patriots that answered the call will someday pay for their love of the Constitution. Bless them!
