By now, we've all seen the video, perhaps, over and over again, approaching ad nauseum.
I had been collecting links and information about this subliminal man.
Then, I decided there were more important issues than this racists's opinions, and in a few days, they revealed themselves to be what Cliven Bundy is: a shill for the far right, militant anarchists extremists. After all, Bundy acknowledged his belief when he said that he didn't believe in the federal government.
As soon as I heard it, I thought it was a stupid thing to say.
I figure the IRS will help Mr. Bundy acknowledge the Federal Government. See, if he doesn't believe in the Federal Government, it's likely that he has some back taxes due, in addition to his back grazing fees, for a couple of decades. Just sayin'.
The fines are a result of Bundy grazing his 900 cattle on 600,000 acres of bureau-managed public lands since 1993 without a permit. He’s ignored his fees, fines, permits and multiple court orders.Plenty of other ranchers pay their grazing fees; in fact, the Bureau of Land Management issues 18,000 permits for grazing on 160 million acres of public lands. The U.S. Forest Service allows grazing on an additional 81 million acres of public lands.
Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze was right when he said, “Mr. Bundy owes the American taxpayers in excess of $1 million.” Public lands belong to the American public. Regardless of his convoluted read of the Nevada Constitution, Bundy owes all of us that tidy sum. And he should us owe much, much more.
