This post will no doubt cause me a lot of grief……..I can hear the anger coming from massive amounts of keyboards……..but….what the Hell…….go for it!

I have been watching the situation in Nevada….the rancher that is having his stand-off with the Feds……and the whole situation got me thinking about the law and how we see them.  I have waited before commenting to see how the media is betraying this tense situation……and as usual it is overplayed.

After reading as much as I possible could before it became mind numbing…..this is the way I see it…..the rancher has been grazing his cattle on Fed land, which is not free………after court proceedings he was told that he owed money and if not paid cattle would be confiscated to pay the bill….the rancher in question has chosen to disobey a court ruling……now after looking over the facts I believe that the BLM over-reacted and thus the stand-off occurred.   At this point many so-called ‘patriots’ joined in his stand-off.

The law is being broken and people are choosing to support this person.  I now ask if this were a bunch of minorities that were threatening to use force if the government touched their stuff….would these same supporters do the same thing?  My guess is NO!

There are many that call themselves ‘law and order’ conservatives……which is fine but when breaking a law that you do not agree with is not ‘law and order’.  When did this become an American past time?

Like it or not….we are a country of laws and it comes down to either obey them or face the consequences.

And then there was a report coming out of Nevada……..

Fortunately, a face-off between a rancher’s supporters—some armed—and federal officials concluded peacefully in Nevada on Saturday. Had it not, a former Arizona sheriff had a plan: “We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front” near the feds, Richard Mack told Fox News, via the Blaze. “If they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.” Meanwhile, those involved in the showdown—which, the Blaze notes, became a question of states’ rights—are reflecting on the event.

Rancher Cliven Bundy’s son tells Reuters that his supporters needed their weapons “in order to intimidate” federal officials. “We were dedicated to opening those gates and peacefully walking through to retrieve those cattle” seized by the government (and ultimately returned). Despite the confrontation’s end, however, the conflict isn’t finished, says Harry Reid. “We can’t have an American people that violate the law and just walk away from it,” he said on Nevada’s KRNV, via the Washington Times. “So it’s not over.” Many protesters were still at Bundy’s ranch as of yesterday, the Times notes.

This report is disturbing on so many levels………..I have a problem with putting the women out front…..sounds like something a terrorist would do to protect his ass…….and then it is the use of intimation……..would anyone accept the term or use by some minority that felt slighted by the government?  All this sounds more like cowards than patriots.

We can expect this kind of lawlessness in Anbar province in Iraq but it is not done here………we may not appreciate the laws we have chosen to live by but without them we have anarchy and that is what the so-called Left is accused of fomenting.

May I use a term that was thrown at me back in my younger more rebellious days………if one does not like the laws or the government…..there is a simple answer………..”THIS IS AMERICA:  LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT”…………
