His cattle weren't stolen. They were seized under court order, just as assets are seized for non-payment of debts all across this country every day.

Also, he himself said the matter wasn't just about the grazing fees and the cows, but about the larger picture of state and personal sovereignty of the land and about freedom, apple pie, and the rest of the American way.

That's like saying Micheal Jackson wasn't a pedo. He just REALLY REALLY LOVES children.

Not stolen, just "seized".

Statists are just totally hopeless.

None of that matters.

Certainly, Bundy is a flawed person and not completely in the right. But, he doesn't have to be. Being a complacent law-abiding citizen isn't what he represents.

What he does represent is someone brave (or stupid) enough to be a shining symbol of saying "enough is enough" to the bullies in our government that treats a fair number of its citizens pretty damn shabbily.

That is why he's garnering such wide support. This incident clearly shows just how much many are craving that brave out-front declaration of "enough is enough".
