I am pretty sure that this will be decided in a court of law. Aren't you?
Yep. But it will not be the Federal Gov't facing off against a lone Cattle Rancher and his family this time.
He will be fighting States who have the resources to take them on.
And you still will not engage on these land grabs one way or another.
Should the feds take these 90,000 acres via the BLM?
Huh..........I can't hear you................
From reading your slanted article Eagle, the Blm NEVER SAID it was going to grab these 90,000 acres....this Candidate for governor/ag/whatever is injecting his own opinion that that blm wants to grab 90,000 acres?
And as far as land grabs by the federal government's BLM of private property, WHERE has this taken place? Not with Bundy, it's not his private land and never was his or his family's private land.... and if the Federal gvt does prove in court that they own this land in Texas, then they would NOT be grabbing private land in Texas either? However if the courts and treaties and legal docs show that the federal gvt/blm does not own this land in Texas, and then they tried to take it away, it WOULD be a land grab of private property!!!
Is that so hard to understand?
As far as the Blm charging and demanding grazing fees from the Indians on the Indian reservations that I have been reading about, THAT SITUATION is appalling and downright wrong....these Indians DO OWN the land and the federal government is just 'managing' it for THEM....and I don't think it is just what so ever to charge the Indians for grazing fees on their own land.....however I do think the blm can charge grazing fees to other US Citizens that may choose to graze their cattle on the Indian's reservation.
I also think it is appalling to see things happen like they did in New London Connecticut, with the city's land grab....for businesses to move in....down right wrong.....
But with Bundy, I have yet to see any evidence that he has some ancestral rights or private property rights to this land that he is grazing his cattle on...? Paying grazing fees is common law, and makes sense....if he had handled this differently from the beginning, he'd still be grazing there....if he had continued to pay his grazing fees, then he'd still have a lease/permit to do such...but since he didn't continue to pay his grazing fees to the federal gvt, he lost his grazing permit and grazing rights, and when he lost his grazing permit, his County bought out ALL of the grazing permits from the fed gvt for a large fee and then "retired" the permits....for the endangered tortoise....SOOOOOOOOOOO, to me....Bundy's issue should be with his County buying up all of the grazing permits from the federal government and "retiring" them....but remember, NONE of that could have happened, if Bundy had paid his grazing fees and not lost his permit due to such....at least from the research I have read and done thus far...
And didn't Reagan CREATE the blm and/or grazing fees on Fed land? Why not the outrage against him?
Or are you okay with the fed/blm charging grazing fees for private citizens using federal land to graze their cattle but just in the Bundy case or a handful of cases that seem wrong to you, you are against it?
