Maybe the good people of Nevada think that YOUR Senator is an idiot too.

But of course, you never considered that for a minute. SMH
Everybody gets a say.. that is what free speech is all about, but then you probably do not believe in that either. When a Federal Government official declares war by calling American citizens terrorists, then we all have been damaged and deserve the right to recourse. Harry needs to be sent packing in shame.

What declaration of war? This is just some tax dodger with a few pop guns

Anyone who cheated on their taxes are tax dodgers. Can you imagine if the government sent snipers and guns to go after them like they did with this guy?

Anyone who lied on welfare applications or took from the government also stole money from someone. Send snipers and guns to go after them too.

Same difference, different angle of stealing.

This guy owes over a million dollars and has refused to pay for over 2 decades. I would say the government has been too lenient on this guy. This should have been handled over 15 years ago.

And as "federal land" all they did was a land grab, they did not purchase it, they stole it as with much of the other "federal lands". They tend to use it for their own purposes not as caretakers of a precious heritage, IMO.

From there people were able to buy the land rights to build on, which is how just about every western city was established. In the case of Nevada, no one wanted to buy desert land, thus much of Nevada stayed federal land.
So, basically, you are saying that the feds stole the land, made treaties and contracts concerning them that the feds have no intention of keeping. That, plus the feds excluded anyone but themselves from claiming the land. Sure seems fair to me

Then by your definition, the entire country is nothing but stolen land.

What precious heritage are you talking about? The fact that no one wanted to buy a desert when they had the chance?

Do you know nothing about how this country was founded and expanded or do you just hate the fact of how this country was founded and expanded?

If Harry Reid wants a war, I'm sure we can find someone to reach way out there and touch him.
All we need is an itinerary.


Pretty sure Americans are waking up to the authoritarian rule and then crying on the Constitution, as they grab their weapons.
