Just because you characterize something a certain way doesn't make it so. That said, I haven't said a whole lot about this case. But, regardless, he clearly had enough support to defend his position. If he'd been the only one with a gun, this would have been over a long time ago.

I also doubt militias would have come to the defense of gun-despising hippies squatting on Yosemite or Yellowstone.

His family owned the rights before the BLM even existed. For all practical purposes, the govt came in at some point and declared itself part owner. I realize you lefties love that shite. Alas, a lot of freedom lovers don't.

You people are so transparently hypocritical you're comical.

Hypocritcal? I think the use of imminent domain is WAY overused and when it is, it is almost always against people of little means. I stand WITH them on that kind of shite. Meanwhile, you lefties seem generally OK with it.

Totally irrelevant... such rights don't exist in perpetuity unless you actually own the land. Bundy does not own the land. And they expire when you renege on your part of the deal. Bundy reneged.

The Federal government has been FULL AND ONLY owner since 1848 when the land was ceded by Mexico.

A lot of "freedom lovers" are ignorant, as you just showed yourself to be.

This was not an eminent domain issue. The land was not Mr. Bundy's.

And, by the way, it was we "lefties" who protested the loudest over the Supreme Court's Kelo decision, but you righties who are most prone to approve things like George Bush seizing a man's house in order to enrich himself with a new Texas Rangers stadium.
