The Southern Poverty Law Center, not surprisingly, was hard at work spreading lies and disinformation about the confrontation in Nevada, painting a picture of fractured patriot groups and militiamen with “little training” going to face unstoppable Federal BLM agents and likely “ending up dead.” The SPLC insinuated that the movement was ineffective and in over its head.
The reality was much the opposite. Liberty groups arrived in droves and were staunchly unified — not by a centralized leadership, but in defense of the basic moral principles outlined in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Sources on the ground at the Bundy ranching operation relayed to me that at least 1,000 activists and militia members arrived over the weekend, with many more on the way
This one event proved certain points:
1.) The liberty movement is not afraid to put itself in harm’s way for the right cause — even if this means facing off against highly armed government thugs.

Ah I see the government shills have arrived........the Bundy ranch standoff is NOT about the Bundys any longer.....
so get off the pot and realize the liberty movement has taken root in America once more......as in 1776, good people have had enough......look for many more confrontations to come ......and maybe there really is hope for liberty in America once again....I for one applaud the actions of the resistors and will be ready when the time come to be part of it.....

I hadn't really been aware of why the government backed down, the reason seemed to have been obfuscated, though I'm sure some here covered it.
1.The liberty movement is not afraid to put itself in harm’s way for the right cause — even if this means facing off against highly armed government thugs.
2.The liberty movement has the ability to field a response team or even an army anywhere in the country at any time within a couple of days.
3.The liberty movement has the ability to change the course of events, even to the point of removing Federal agents from a region who are acting in an unConstitutional manner.
4.The Federal government is not invincible, nor is it unfazed by liberty movement opposition. They worry about our strength and ability.
What an absolute Joke! Unless of course, "strategizing to put your women out front" is your idea of bravery

... Do you know what communism is?
"a way of organizing a society in which the government owns the things that are used to make and transport products (such as land, oil, factories, ships, etc.) and there is no privately owned property." www.merriam-webster.com...

This "liberty movement" would do good in being organized.. but they are not. They have already been infiltrated and now they are known... those who have infiltrated them (fed) now know who they can shift a problem to when bullets start flying. The state govt is already washing their hands.. much like Pontious Pilate.
Freedom fighters in 2014 are sort of dense ...Im discovering. The dumbing down of America has definitely been a success. Theyve learned nothing even when its a cause they want to put their life on the line for. Sad, really.

This goes beyond grazing for free. This is overreach of federal gvt and illegitimate federal power trying to trump state. You only seem to understand the surface of this problem... or what MSM has told you the only problem is.

The irony is that the "freedom" movement is being financially backed by some of the biggest corporatists in America. Men who cry out freedom and equality and then turn around a buy politicians, circumventing the intent of the founding fathers.
Our system wasn't put here so some oligarchs can have the FREEDOM to buy the American political process.
The freedom fighters are a b it beyond dumb, I think it is intentional to champion idiocy, because who can successfully argue with an idiot?
