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".

Exactly. This is about state vs federal. It's about environmental activists using the federal government to steal land from the citizens.

Oh, I get it, trust me. I got some last night.

But instead of trying to be your usual condescending self, why don't you spell out what exactly it is?

Because the quote you provided really doesn't say anything. He's certainly not a shining example. Just because someone speaks up about oppression by the government doesn't mean I necessarily support them.

"Enough" of what is "enough"? The government upholding its laws? The government responding with force to a lawbreaker who threatened force?

Jesse James got a lot of popular support as well, but he was still a murderous bank robber.

Don't we still have property rights? What about the rights of the property owner?
