It's like I always say...NEVER interrupt a conservative Republican when his mouth is on a roll. If you let them yack on long enough, you'll be amazed at what comes out. You don't need any truth serum...just be quiet and let it rip. It all comes pouring out in due time.
This doesn't surprise me one bit. If anything, I'd expect it.
I say it doesn't take much to get same type of statement here really seeing yours. I could careless about his opinions ;he just needs to pay up for his use of federal lands lie others ;plain and simple
You don't even have to do that. Just suggest to White liberals their kids will be made to go schools with a significant portion of poor Blacks, sit back and watch the fireworks.
This is very true indeed, Edward. I've come to realize that both sides of the coin (liberal/conservative) aren't that much different in their attitudes towards black people. Some are just more open about it than others.
You are wrong. White privilege shows itself in many ways, not just monetarily.
What's sad is that poor white people are so blinded by hatred and racism that they don't realize they have more in common with poor black people than they do the rich white Republicans they worship (and who use their lack of education to control them).
What a sad, and bigoted outlook on people you have.
I know it sucks when you have to realize that the hero you hitched your wagon to has a very questionable character, but whenever someone starts out a sentence with "The Negro" and goes on to explain how they were fine people when they had to work (for, y'know, white folks) but now just can't handle themselves with all that easy access to food and shelter - yeah, then he's a big ol' racist. And if you choose to still march under his banner, it speaks to your judgment as well.
You forgot to include raking up cow patties laying on the ground.
So if they drive out the last remaining rancher and his cattle, will the BLM stop doing all those things? The BLM will do all of those things no matter if there are any cattle pooping and eating grass. Which means the BLM pretty much does not do a damn thing, and it would save taxpayer dollars if private citizens owned and managed the land at their own expensive.
BTW, whatever did we do when millions of buffalo and antelope grazed there?
Yes, they will continue doing those things. They provide habitat monitoring and management services for grazing allotments and non-grazing allotments alike. The activities differ based on the land and its use, and those activities may change if the element of grazing is removed, but BLM will manage the land either way.
Additionally, since the land is an existing grazing allotment, another rancher could lease the rights to graze there (if Bundy's herd wasn't occupying it).
Bundy owns the 160 acre homestead property that is the "base property" for the allotment. While being the owner of the "base property" of an allotment gives you first rights of refusal on the property's grazing rights, it does not give you exclusive rights.
The BLM pursued a dialogue with Bundy for years affording him the opportunity to renew his lease, including delivering copies physically to him. I would say that between not renewing, not paying any fees, disavowing the existence of the Federal Government and being legally barred from the land by a permanent court injunction in 1998, he has sufficiently exercised his right of refusal.
There is scientific evidence developing that indicates that grazing is actually a beneficial activity for the desert environment. It helps manage invasive flora, and some of the best habitat for desert tortoise (the main protected species) are on lands that have been grazed for nearly 200 years. Overgrazing may be disastrous, but not grazing at all may have negative effects as well.
The reality remains, though, that the desert is marginal grazing land and we've had 3 years of droughts. Many herds have moved to greener pastures (like Nebraska) or the slaughterhouse.
It was a typical liberal response for which CNN has perfected the technique: If you can't refute what a man is saying, doctor it and try to smear him personally, instead.
The hoax has since been revealed, but the liberals, true to form, keep forwarding the lie as hard and fast as they can... joined by the usual liars and smear artists in this thread. The truth doesn't suit their agenda, so they shun it.

Apparently, we need to ban the word for "black" in every language except for English.
We could let the educated liberals handle it with, "melanin gifted".
(Well, isn't that "special"?)
Then the Irish could be the "melanin challenged".
Then, when it all comes out in the wash, Obama could be, the "dingy grey".
