ranch on the way there. You know with tanks. The kind with big thingamajigs in the front that fire huge whatayacallits that blow things up.
I would just love to watch those idiots firing at those big assed tanks! Actually I think most of them would run home instead.

I would love to see the tanks go it. I bet the people who live there would too.

(50,949 posts)Hundreds of armed psychotic people are not a good thing to have around.
And why the quotes around "morons?" Are you under the impression that Bundy's followers are a brain trust?

psychotic - I cannot speak to that. Perhaps you know more?

Here's what the Congressional Rep. from Bundy's district said last night...

(10,136 posts)I would say lots of folks "like" MREs, but they certainly enjoy their convenience and their big leap forward from the previous versions of battle rations. One certainly does not want to make MREs a long-term staple of ones diet.

(86,562 posts)but I am pretty sure they aren't spending much in local businesses, even the casinos in Mesquite. Cracks me up that the Rep. isn't white. That has got to be a burr up Bundyboy's butt... even if he doesn't recognize the federal gubbamint. I am glad Rachel had that interview, it helps the neighbors have some voice on the national scene. They want those idiots out of there, they're bad for business. I know a lot of folks who go to Mesquite for vacation and they would probably go elsewhere knowing this clowns are creating a pseudo police state.
I have seen some survival kits at Costco that comes in a bucket, they probably brought some of those with them. But as mentioned above, Bundy is probably helping to feed them too.
Wonder how many will actually make it home in their vehicles without license plates now that the gubbamint knows where they are. there aren't many roads leading in or out of there. I heard some are on their way to cause trouble in western Idaho later this summer... they want to run the EPA out of the state because some clown wants to do suction mining for gold in a river that is home to at least three endangered species of fish.
A rebellion looking for a place to happen.
