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

120. "That does't mean we get to decide for ourselves which laws need to be followed."

This nation was founded on people refusing to heel to the crown. The abolitionist states refused to abide by the Fugitive Slave Act. Mother Jones magazine, which so ardently speaks against Bundy, takes its name from a woman that was at the center of numerous violent labor clashes in opposition to established authority. We just memorialized the 100th anniversary of the Ludlow massacre where the mine owners had the government -- and its troops -- on their side. The civil rights movement operated in direct opposition to court affirmed law. War protesters burned draft cards. Every 420 rally is a giant middle-finger to the goons. Occupy made itself quite clear it refused to recognize the authority of the corporatist government and refused "lawful" orders to decamp.

This nation is one, giant act of civil disobedience.

Bundy has been mooching off the taxpayers for over 20 years - enough is enough.

It's scrub land. Let's be serious, shall we?

But do you know who else has been mooching off the taxpayer -- and for a lot longer than 20 years? The MIC/security state; and that is exactly who would be employed on American soil to suppress this episode. Only once they were off the leash they will not return humbly to their cage.

They will say if you protest the Keystone XL then you're impacting US national security. They'll say that speaking against corporate bailouts is a threat to economic stability. They will make anti-war protests an act of treason in the face of a foreign enemy.

Think I'm exaggerating? The Department of Education has a SWAT team to collect on student loan fraud. They send SWAT teams to raid Gibson guitars to determine if the paperwork for importing rare wood has been properly filled-out. Children are being gunned down in broad daylight for carrying airsoft rifles. THAT should be an exaggeration but it is now SOP in our militarized police state.

Never shine the jackboot thinking you're being clever at keeping it off of your own neck.

Screw the goons.
