The thing that needs to be said in respect of the rebellion that has gathered at the ranch of Cliven Bundy is that it is as American as apple pie. At the rate things are going the Nevada ranchers are going to write themselves into American history right alongside Daniel Shays and the Pennsylvania backwoodsmen who confronted the federal government over taxes on whiskey. The echoes are uncanny — complete with the sanctimonious lectures from the federal government over the law and the righteousness of the anger of the rebels.

Dirty Harry is right about one thing - this isn't over by a long shot
ReplyDeletePETA has finally reacted - a couple of stories out there are referring to BLM "euthanizing" the cows. Euthanize means 'humanely putting an animal to death' - how does BLM shooting Bundy's cattle in the head and burying them, probably some still alive, count as euthanasia?? Words have meaning - this was a wanton pre-meditated slaughter.

I do feel a Rebellion coming on.
Thanks and can't believe I'm on the same side as PETA for once. :)
