Nevada ranching family claims victory as government releases cattle

70. You seem to be confused here....

The protesters, whom you advocated "mowing down", aren't violating ANY court orders. The owner of the cattle is violating a court order, which is a misdemeanor, but the protesters supporting him certainly are NOT. And the last time I checked, we don't execute people with tanks and helicopter gunships over misdemeanors. In fact, the last time I checked, we don't execute people for stealing federal resources or not paying their taxes either.

And your improper use of Latin does not make your failed argument that it's an "armed rebellion" any more valid. And it certainly doesn't meet any definition of treason that I've ever read (unless you're one of those kooks who believes that ANY resistance to the government is "treason", though tha's a belief generally held by Teabagger types, and not liberals). These people are out there protesting. It is perfectly legal to open-carry in Nevada. It is perfectly legal to open carry at a protest in Nevada. It is perfectly legal to open carry at a protest of the police in Nevada. Nobody has fired a shot. Nobody has aimed a gun at a ranger. There is no "rebellion". It's a loud and aggressive protest, but nobody has crossed any lines that would have made it into something more serious.

The sky is not falling. The teabaggers are not rebelling. And NOBODY has done anything that would justify the use of force...much less tanks and attack helicopters. The suggestion that we do so is nuts.
