Why are you people trying to start a war that no one will win?

86. The first thing is to take away the "glory" from these guys,

and portray them as the traitorous, terrorist scum that they really are. That way, when the Feds finally do have to take them on, they won't be portrayed as some kind of freedom fighters. But that's awful hard when you have nothing but pure, seditious propagandists like FOX news, Hannity, Beck and the rest of the right wing owned media egging them on. Similar garbage is even pumped into the heads of our young and impressionable military personnel via Rush Limbaugh, on a daily basis.

But continuing to back down to these traitors is not the way to go. We've been doing that for years and it's only gotten worse and will continue to do so. I find the sight of a right wing lunatic with state of the art equipment sighting in a federal officer with his .50 cal. sniper rifle in broad daylight to be quite disturbing actually. Then to allow the right wing lunatic to leave, laughing with his cohorts about the situation simply adds insult to injury. There needs to be consequences for this type of behavior. Perhaps backing off in this rancher incident was the best thing to do at the moment, but to let this go entirely will only embolden more actions like this.
