In Nevada, the lack of enforcement of immigration laws and the draconian rule of the BLM are damaging the economy, lowering the standard of living and inhibiting natural economic growth. The only way to change these circumstances is to bring to Washington a president who will rein in the federal government and get Congress to do its job. It’s not that we don’t have talented people in D.C. It’s that we have no leadership there.

First, I doubt he wrote it, personally. Second, it is a bunch of bunk.

What part of it is bunk exactly?
The part where we have no leadership in Washington or the part where our Government spends too much time harassing its own citizens and not prosecuting illegals? It sounds spot on to me.

On the other hand, eliminate the BLM and the natural resources and interests it currently protects will be strip mined and laid waste faster than accountants can tabulate the profits for the conglomerates that swoop in.
It seems more rational to address and fix problems with the regulatory agency than to simply kill it and leave nothing in its place. However rational discourse on the issue is likely impossible at this point because of the amount of disinformation and propaganda put into the mix by very vested special interests.
Naked capitalism, which we are very close to having, behaves like a crackhead. And I, for one, don't want a handful of money addicts, looking for a temporary high at any costs ( profits THIS quarter and who cares about anything else ) having unfettered access to all of the natural resources that my kids and grandkids will need just to exist.

Oh and if it's all about States, then why are you right wing types so orgasmic over Trumps wall? Could it be that you look to the Feds to handle everything - just as long as it's coddling to your fears and insecurities? I mean, after all, that's not the Fed controlling your life... just everyone who isn't like you.
That's the sort of hypocrisy that eats at my gut.

That's a gross misrepresentation of what I posited. Being supportive of an agency specifically tasked with conservation of natural resources is a far cry from "your faulty perspective that looks to the Fed's to handle everything and control our lives."
That doesn't even address the faulty logic of the States right crap anyway. Those screaming about tyranny seem to think that the answer to one supposedly tyrannical, corrupt and broken system is to replace it with fifty such tyrannical, corrupt and broken systems. And that ignores the very real fact that individual States operate as a cohesive whole. In your model if your State happens to get water from another, and the other decides to get greedy and frack every inch of their water table. Well, Hell son - enjoy your flammable tap water and seeing all the kids born with birth defects! Cuz LIBERTY!'

Actually States are perfectly capable of managing THEIR land. It is your faulty perspective that looks to the Fed's to handle everything and control our lives.

Just curious. Do you believe that putting a word in quotes somehow works as a substitute for substantive debate and the comparison of ideas? IE could you please direct me to the "lies" from "Washington DC" that matches what I said? If you can source any politician who has said "orgasmic over Trumps wall" I'll donate to their campaigns directly.
Oh and my definition of a "twisted man" would include anyone who would vote Rush Limbaugh for anything.
It’s not that we don’t have talented people in D.C. It’s that we have no leadership there.
