What is missed with the Malheur Occupation is the root of the problem. It is the over reach of the environmental lobby and its influence on the .gov management of our public lands. Don't get me wrong, back in the sixties, people were not thinking hard enough about environmental impacts. But I think we fixed that by the seventies. HOWEVER, not so. By the eighties and forward, the environmental lobby wanted more. And more, and more.
But those last sentences are more the subject for another thread. Meanwhile here is what else was happening in Harney County well before this event:
Fence fight on Steens Mountain
Hmm, environmentalist. How about over to Prineville:
Prineville councilors join Crook Co. in rejecting rec area proposal
Hmm, again environmentalist, in this case Oregon WILD. It always starts out so innocently. Ok, let's go to Malheur county:
‘We are the militia’
And then let's take a look at the meeting in Grant County in John Day, where the guys were headed:
I did miss finding an article about the huge refuge/wilderness area that they are fighting over in Malheur county, but the undercurrent is the same.
Tell me how many folks you see supporting the .gov 'management' of our public lands in these links.
