Oregon Standoff: Federal Land Grab vs. the Sagebrush Rebellion
The occupation of the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Harney County, Oregon by a small group of armed protesters represents a new and confrontational tactic in the Sagebrush Rebellion–the decades old struggle of Western ranchers against federal control of state lands. While the majority of rancher disputes are against the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) the US Fish and Wildlife Service has been just as ruthless–in this case expanding the wildlife refuge at the expense of neighboring ranchers. This week I’ll detail the struggle of the Hammond family, and of Ammon Bundy the protest leader. When you read the litany of federal abuse of ranching families, you will better understand why some ranchers are staging an armed resistance. I also give some suggestions on how this can be resolved peacefully.
The continuous criminal enterprise continues to slaughter Americans , perpetrate treason against the Constitution while the narcotized populace pick their collective noses and propel and avowed socialist to the Whitehouse.
For shame
What land have they grabbed?
You do realize that the land where that sanctuary is was BOUGHT over 100 years ago by the US federal government don't you?
Ever hear of a man by the name of Theodore Roosevelt?
He was president a the beginning of the 20th century.
He had the federal government BUY that land from those who owned it which is what the constitution requires.
So there is no land grab.
Stop lying.
