On presenting the enemy with a hammer to hit you over the head with. Well, I guess they really thought this targeting stuff through thoroughly before they acted, huh?

"Stupid is as stupid does, Forrest."

Why don't we think through the propaganda of letting the enemy make us look like ISIS whether it is real or not? Maybe because they are incapable of thinking ANYTHING through if it doesn't fit with their preconceptions. "4,000 Artifacts Stored at Oregon Refuge Held by Armed Group."

You know, they could have realized a disinformation danger ahead of time and publicly announced at the start they were posting guards on the artifacts, but that would have (1.) made too much sense; and (2.) been impossible given the clown circus personnel pool they had to draw from. Proper planning prevents piss poor performance. And these guys aren't exactly Dwight David Eisenhower before D-Day.

Do you still feel you are relevant in the movement, Dutchman? The men in Burns have simply done what so many have talked about, yet, along with the "left", you denigrate them. You seem to truly hate them.

These blog posts of yours, abusing and mocking men of action, in your view wise or not, could be what you are remembered for in some communities.

It's a shame. Regardless, take care, and good luck.; January 16, 2016 at 8:00 AM

Maybe the boys in Malheur arent the sharpest cats, but they are brave men, standing up against a tyranical govt., and they deserve our support.

Sad to say, you are on the wrong side of this one.

The tribal authorities could have made their wishes known to Bundy & Co. without using the Feds. as intermediaries, as they always speak with forked tongues..; January 16, 2016 at 8:46 AM
Oregon Hobo said...: Sounds like Bundy is being a bit of an ass, but then that relies on the objectivity and honesty of ABC News, so... kinda pointless to draw any conclusions there.

However, I do have something to say regarding the steady drumbeats of "concern" I hear about the impact of cattle supposedly stepping on the environment, archeological artifacts, people's tender feelings, and whatever else they can dream up.

I look forward to being told how herds of buffalo that took days to pass by didn't graze and trample the **** out of everything in sight as compared to some rancher's rinky-dink little cattle herd. ...perhaps because the buffalo are "natural", or some equally brilliant argument.

Chiu ChunLing said...: The reason these "artifacts" aren't in museums is because they are a bunch of stone chips that are not even particularly interesting, not because "scientific research" can be more easily accomplished at a remote location with no laboratory facilities.

Everyone actually involved knows this, which is why the protesters are perfectly happy to give them to the tribe and the tribe doesn't want them. Defining the removal of 'priceless' (i.e. worthless) bits of stone from "Federal lands" as a felony is just one more grievance. North American "archeology" is joke science because of the political influence of surviving tribes making it impossible to seriously investigate the remains of the many peoples they genocided out of existence.; January 16, 2016 at 2:53 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
