<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nI know, I haven’t written about this subject, that being the standoff of the ranch family Bundy in Nevada. Mostly because I didn’t understand the whole thing until yesterday, but then I’m focused on military issues and the grazing laws and the Bureau of Land Management don’t concern me now that I left my civilian job. Anyway, a whole bunch of people were headed to the Bundy ranch and BLM backed off concerned about public safety Fox News<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n Bureau of Land Management Chief Neil Kornze announced an abrupt halt to the weeklong roundup just hours before the release.<\/p>\n “Based on information about conditions on the ground and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concerns about the safety of employees and members of the public,” Kornze said in a statement.<\/p>\n Hundreds of states’ rights protesters, including militia members, showed up at corrals outside Mesquite to demand the animals’ return to rancher Cliven Bundy. Some protesters were armed with handguns and rifles at the corrals and at an earlier nearby rally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So BLM is going to take the issue up in court, like they should have done in the first damn place, instead of showing us why they need to scarf up all of the ammo in the market place.<\/p>\n But here is why I’m finally addressing the issue; some of my conservative so-called “friends” on Facebook were asking why the military wasn’t getting involved to protect the protesters from the BLM thugs. So my question is “WTF is wrong with you?” Since when is it the military’s job to protect private citizens individually from other government agencies? When has it ever happened in American history. Yes, yes, I know, they’re supposed to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic, but do you understand what it is you’re expecting the military to do and do you understand the precedent it would set if generals ordered the troops to stand against the BLM?<\/p>\n What exactly did you expect them to do? Take over the Bureau of Land Management offices in DC? Roll out tanks from the nearest post to Nevada? Do you really expect them to accomplish all of that without orders from their commander-in-chief (who by the way would never order them to do that any-damn-way).<\/p>\n Sometimes conservatives are as stupid as the liberals – because they get emotional about something, the military should act now to make them feel better about themselves. Of course, their questions about the military not defending the Bundy’s and their fans is supposed to prove that military has no problem rounding up Americans on Obama’s orders. It was to prove that the folks in the military are automatons who slavishly follow whatever orders they are given. Mental masturbation completely vacant of any reason.<\/p>\n I blame the fact that some conservatives are a bunch of Rand & Ron Paul huggers these days. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
