However, in accordance with the rule of law, we must use the system set forth in our Constitution to change those laws and regulations. Nevada Cattlemen's Association does not condone actions that are outside the law in which citizens take the law into their own hands
What's their stance on the GOV'T ignoring the "system set forth in our Constitution..."?
If that's the stance of this conservative group of Nevada Cattlemen, people resisting the law with the threat of violence should think, hard, if they have the support of the American people in general. If not, they have no chance of "winning" in the long run.
Would they support the resistance of 'illegal' laws??
Without the implicit threat of violence, there is no chance of "winning" at the ballot box or elsewhere.
This Bundy thing is still in the news. Had he simply laid down, you and I would have never heard about it. Now, we have state representatives in the western states organizing conferences to discuss taking back federal land. We have men in Congress calling for investigations. We have dozens of stories about similar BLM heavy handedness. We know about Harry Reid's Chinese shenanigans. And we have people everywhere, instead of simply taking the government's position at face value, talking about it and discussing what the role of government should be in these sorts of things.
Bundy did this, simply because he wasn't willing to lay down and because the threat of violence was there. Had there not been a few guns in that crowd, every protester there would have been zip tied and put on a jail bus. But because there were, it is a rallying cry.
It was the best propaganda ever and facts don't matter with propaganda. Emotions carry the day. And one of the primary emotions right now in rural America is a hearty sickness of all things government.
Good post, and spot on..
