New Rule: If You Don't Acknowledge the Existence of the Federal Government..

[KansDem]

41. I was wondering if "Sagebush Mafia" would be more appropriate.

Then I looked up "mafia" to learn its characteristics:

In November 2007 Sicilian police reported discovery of a list of "Ten Commandments" in the hideout of mafia boss Salvatore Lo Piccolo, thought to be guidelines on good, respectful and honourable conduct for a mafioso.[124]

1. No one can present himself directly to another of our friends. There must be a third person to do it.
2. Never look at the wives of friends.
3. Never be seen with cops.
4. Don't go to pubs and clubs.
5. Always being available for Cosa Nostra is a duty - even if your wife is about to give birth.
6. Appointments must absolutely be respected. (probably refers to formal rank and authority.[125])
7. Wives must be treated with respect.
8. When asked for any information, the answer must be the truth.
9. Money cannot be appropriated if it belongs to others or to other families.
10. People who can't be part of Cosa Nostra: anyone who has a close relative in the police, anyone with a two-timing relative in the family, anyone who behaves badly and doesn't hold to moral values.

But the Bundy crowd would have trouble with numbers 2 & 7:

2. Never look at the wives of friends. How can you not look at them when you tell them to get between you and the Feds?;
7. Wives must be treated with respect. I suppose you can say, "Ma'am, will you please get in front of me? That agent has a gun pointed this way.
