Patriots TEAR DOWN Illegal Gov. Fence at OregonFront!

This is pretty interesting to watch. Just a short video of the Bundy's and their cohort tearing down a Fish & Wildlife effected fence to restore the grazing area to the cattle in Oregon. This situation of government over reach is creating a lot of direct action to oppose it it seems.

Neat.

Better than burning down a Walgreens !!

Honest question, why are these guys called patriots

Why not? It's always been the first refuge for scoundrels.

a reply to: dukeofjive696969

Because they are self styled heroes of the American West.

edit. I like Ozzys answer better.

You know, I agree, but I'm a bit surprised that you have not commented on how this entire thing is a scripted media event. That seems to be your standard answer for everything, but as I see these guys surrounded by media as they do what they are doing, one might conclude this is a scripted media event.

Sung to an old cowboy song.

Oh give me media lots of media
underneath the starry skys
Don't fence me in.

The US Constitution is their guiding document...and mine.

What is yours?

Are they going to ship it to the borders? To keep the rabble out.

How will the Washingtonias keep their rabble under control?

None of these guys have ever read the constitution, much less understand it. If they did, they wouldn't be putting on this dog and pony show and calling it patriotism.

I have on other threads.

But not much.

So yes, these events have a hidden script.

I suspect blackmail and I think a couple people are informants/agents, blackmailed by the Feds for things we can only speculate about.

Maybe it symbolizes the way other federal fences are blocking access to water for cattle.

A bovine Berlin Wall

The US Constitution is a good guiding document. Selective interpretation of it for one's own ends is not good. There are people in jail because they didn't pay those "unconstitutional" income taxes.
These "Patriots" are just bullies who are in it for themselves and are trying to coopt as many people as they can to help them.

It would definitley be a seveir T&C violation to pick you up and shake you into the Conservative mold...afterall your the only member who is sacred!

im with you man.
some people are so out of touch

a reply to: xuenchen

It is a matter of survival for these folks. When people see big ranches they think wealthy people but a lot like any farmer they can lose everything in one or two bad seasons but the BLM is terrorizing these people. Here is a good back story so some people will I hope get a clue.

a reply to: machineintelligence

are these oregon dudes constantly occupying the building?
how do they make time to do this when there is so much work to do on the ranch?

people are delusional

Selective interpretation is actually the best way to desribe Liberals who concoct lame policies that failed just 3 years ago.

But Libs still try!
