Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch...

Esquire's Caty Enders filed this report from the Bundy Ranch this weekend.  It's a pretty sobering reminder that Bundy's rampant racism is just the tip of the massive, massive problem America has with the "sovereign citizen" and militia movements in the Age of Obama.

The crowd, fresh off their victory at the Battle of Bunkerville, gives Bundy a standing ovation. But he doesn’t seem pleased. He reproaches the crowd for failing to follow the word of God – to the letter – which he says is being delivered through him. They failed, for example, to follow his instructions to tear down the toll booths at Lake Mead and disarm the Park Service.

"The message I gave to you all was a revelation that I received. And yet not one of you can seem to even quote it.”

Cliven continues, sermon-like: "The records of our bible — how long have they been kept? Thousands of years. They’ve been turned over generation after generation, buried, and all kinds of things happen to ‘em. And yet, here, something I felt was inspired [by God] and yet we haven’t even carried it forth for even a couple of days. Shame on us.” Smattering of clapping.

He goes on to explain that, although they managed to deter the BLM, they failed to do it "within one hour," as the revelation had prophesied. So when an hour passes, he decides to get in his bulldozer and march on the BLM himself. The dozer gets stuck in the mud and he receives another revelation.

“It come to my mind real plain — the good Lord said, ‘Bundy, it’s not your job, it’s THEIR job.’ So we come back over here and heard that they had brought some cattle back. So I want you to understand,” addressing the crowd, "This is not my job, it’s YOUR job.

"This morning, I said a prayer, and this is what I received. I heard a voice say, 'Sheriff Gillespie, your work is not done. Every sheriff across the United States, take the guns away from the United States bureaucrats.’” Lots of clapping for this.

Yep, just another day on the Insane Destroy The United States Government Ranch.

A former Arizona sheriff turned Texas political candidate, Richard Mack, speaks next.

I don’t believe the BLM has any authority whatsoever — they have no law enforcement authority in Clark County.” In conclusion he yells into the microphone, “(William Wallace!) FREEEDOOOOOM!"

After the speeches, Nevada Assemblywoman Michelle Fiore steps off the stage. Wearing a diamond-studded pistol pendant, she raises her eyebrows in the direction of a shadowy government operation. "When you really look at this, it’s not about the environmental stuff — it’s a lot deeper than what’s coming out in the media.

In the downtime, a group of men laments the way the world has changed. Obama, a Muslim Kenyan, doesn't let kids say the pledge in school anymore. Steve, from Beaver, Utah, says it’s all down to regulation and changes that happened during Vietnam. “I want it to be like it was growing up in the fifties. I want it to be just like that — for [the kids]. Though it can’t be just like that, because they have the internet.”

"That's what's wrong: the Internet," agrees another.

On the other hand, the notion of taking the country back from "The Negro" president is never far from the minds of these assholes.  That's what really drove them insane.  And they will not stop until somebody is hurt or dead.

And even then, they'll just keep going.  I'm a million times more worried about these racist nutjobs who view people like me as subhuman vermin that need to be exterminated than I am being attacked by "Islamic terrorists" or anything.  Multiply that further by the fact that most of the Republican party backs these assholes, and that they in turn see the GOP as their ticket to getting rid of the rest of us.

Wait a minute - they're gun grabbers? Violating the Second Amendment rights of US citizens just because they happen to be employed by the Federal government?


I thought these folks believed in a literal interpretation of the Constitution - where in the Constitution does it say that government employees don't have the right to bear arms? Does this extend to the armed forces?
