And the land national monuments created maintain all existing grazing rights, which will be continued. This land is already owned by the Federal government (by us). No one has taken anything. (By the way, the Federal grazing fees are much less than the same from the states or local governments.).<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-59977217811833584202016-02-15T13:44:32.199-06:002016-02-15T13:44:32.199-06:00RE: Obama Unilaterally Confiscates 265 Million Acr...RE: Obama Unilaterally Confiscates 265 Million Acres<br />"414,000 square miles ... is equivalent to a square block of land 644 miles on each side"<br /><br />I'd like to put Obama's total land grab (to date, mind you; he still has a good 11 months to go) into perspective. Using the numbers Herschel provided (and which I do not in any wise doubt to be factual) and consulting Wikipedia, a couple of keystrokes on a calculator yields the following facts:<br /><br />The total land area Obama has conquered with the stroke of a pen is just over one and one half times the total area of Texas! It also represents almost 2/3rds of the land area of Alaska! <b>FREAKING ALASKA</b> for goodness sake!<br /><br />As for no one objecting, where, how, to WHOM would we object? The government has the bit in its teeth. The only way I know of to stop a runaway horse - short of just letting it run itself out (which this horse<i>('s ass)</i> has not shown any indication of doing any time soon) is to put a bullet in its brain! Do you know of another way?<br /><br />Re:Army MPs Train For Stability Operations On The Streets Of America<br /><br />Two words just popped into my head.

This group wasn’t prepared to pull their triggers, so the guns should have been left at home. It should have been a old fashioned sit-in like the hippies who protested the Vietnam war. If they were intent on taking guns and using them, they should have planned this set of events much differently."<br /><br />Apply that logic to daily carry for half a second and see how you like it. Never pack your daily carry unless you're quite certain you want to kill someone before you get home today.<br /><br />From a military perspective, armed peaceful protests are <i>beyond</i> essential for large scale militia operations in serious purpose. If we allow the government to reliably characterize the presence of weapons as an indication that we're going to employ force, how exactly are we supposed to train effectively? How are we to assemble forces for a direct action without immediately giving away our true intentions?<br /><br />Sorry Captain, but with "strategic insight" of that level, you're not <i>my</i> Captain.<br /><br />I'm not going to argue about UFO's and other conspiracy theories. I will say that, if advanced extraterrestrials <i>don't</i> exist, then we're probably pooched too badly for any of this to matter. But maybe they don't...wouldn't be the first time the universe turned out to be a lot less friendly than people hoped.<br /><br />It's true that the time for peaceful protest has passed. If you're going to protest <i>at all</i>, you make a serious effort to kill the tyrants, so that the survivors have a real reason to rethink their choice of employment. But let us not dissuade those who still attempt peaceful protest from going armed. It's not like the outcome will be any better for them if they are disarmed, and it might be considerably worse...let's not forget that LaVoy was killed and the those with him terrorized when the Feds had a high confidence that they weren't armed.<br /><br />Nor let us forget what C.S. Lewis had to say on the subject of pacifists.Chiu ChunLinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519192610708043962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-52874027508452129052016-02-15T12:33:18.252-06:002016-02-15T12:33:18.252-06:00On Fry at Malheur Wildlife Refuge: He repeatedly ...On Fry at Malheur Wildlife Refuge: He repeatedly said he was still laying down in bed...
