That's a bit like circumventing the roadblock of Occam's Razor and heading straight for conspiracy theory territory.

They kinda do. Bundy & Bundy put the idea in their head that taking over wildlife refuge was a hunky-dory idea.

There needs to be a rumor started that FBI plants identify each other by some "secret" article of clothing or specific mannerism or code phrase in speech or something. The militards will spend the next six months trying to weed out "plants".

I have visited a few of the militia sites and FB pages. There is already a lot of infighting over who can be trusted. The dissolution of large portions of the militia movement may be the ironic result of Bundy's ill conceived and laughably executed occupation.

If these are "well-regulated militias", and all that stands between us and the tyranny of the big, bad government, we'll all be galley slaves shortly.

You're telling me paranoid conspiracy nuts who don't reside in reality also have trouble trusting each other? Who would've thought?

The only one that pointed a gun at anyone, from Randy Weaver, The Branch Daividen, Gibson Guitars, Cliven Bundy, and now Mr. LaVoy, was the government. Government breaks contracts with the people, by pointing a gun at the people and tell them to pound sand. The government cannot use words and refuse to recognize, the documents that show the unconstitutionality of the actions taken by them.
Who has the bigger gun, has the advantage, when the constitution comes into question.

I'm waiting on the four holdouts to get tired of sitting in sub-freezing temperatures in the middle of a field and start fighting among themselves. When the firewood runs out things are going to heat up.

God always was a practical joker. Look at how many presidential candidates he personally told to run.

It's surprising to me that Bundy's lawyer continues to smuggle out and broadcast her client's screeds from his cell in solitary confinement calling for supporters to continue with the criminal activity which landed him there. It definitely doesn't sound like something an ethical lawyer would do.

How many armed police road blocks were set up around Ferguson, to round up those peaceful protesters?

Or it could be media making a story that isn't there.
