FBI investigating Bundy supporters in BLM dispute[W:338]

Yes, those proggies, gotta watch out for them proggies, they just hate idiots. But, what's so wrong with hating idiots that don tin foil hats?

Tin foil hats?

The government loves that people believe that **** - it makes their job of totalitarianism easier.

It's easy to rule with an iron fist when those who realize freedoms are being jacked from individuals are labeled as nuts...

So start walking to your local FEMA camp because that is where you will end up if you're not useful to these evil people.
 
I copied and pasted the reply below from what I told someone else who tried to make the same point you just did:

Um, no, corporations waste YOUR money, too, in every government contract they take - such as privately-owned prisons, defense contractors, road and highway construction, charter schools, office supplies for tens of thousands of government offices, electricity for all those offices, fuel for every government and defense vehicle on the planet...you name it. And then there's something called "Big Pharma"...and thanks to Bush's Medicare Part D, Medicare's not allowed to negotiate for lower prices - they have to pay whatever price Big Pharma decides to set.

Yes sir, that's ALL your money.

In fact, try finding a government agency that does not buy heaps and heaps of product from corporations. Betcha can't.

What products does government make?
 
Threatening federal agents with firearms? Death threats?

Do you think there should be no type of police force of criminal investigatory body?

Who is doing the antagonizing tho?

Furthermore, no threats have been made.

Patriots told the oppressive federal government to go **** off and now apparently that is against the law, yet some people believe I'm a nut that wears a foil hat because I believe the federal government is authoritarian.

Maybe the federal government just needs to leave people the **** alone?

Is Bundy hurting anyone? no. Is Bundy a threat to society? no.... So what the **** is the FBI's problem then? -- Oh I can tell you exactly what it is - the simple fact US citizens didn't submit to their bull**** requests and actually stood up for themselves and their civil liberties.

What does that have to do with anything?

Oh, really? Okay, well I'll just call the FBI and tell them to stop investigating, Mr.Nick from debatepolitics.com said there were no threats. If there weren't any threats, what's the problem with the investigation?

I don't care.

Mr.Nick I don't care about you.

Mr.Nick: I don't care.
 
Even though this is a bit off the topic, what a completely ignorant statement. If you think that the problem with education in this country is a shortage of money, then you really need to get educated. We spend more money per student than anyone in the world. Watch "The Cartel" before you make such comments. Don't want to pay??? We are paying through the nose.

What you need to realize is that while we spend more money per student than any other nation, our teachers are paid only somewhat above average for teachers in the OECD. So where does all the other funding go, that forces us to pay so much more than other nations? THAT, sir, is the question you should be asking yourself.

For instance, what other nations provide football fields and weight rooms and equipment for almost every school? And then there's fully-furnished gymnasiums. And don't forget the maintenance - all that is very, very expensive.

What other nations use full-sized (and hideously-expensive) school buses for almost every route?

What other nations require each and every public (but NOT private) school to take in every special-needs kids, like the medically-fragile Foster kids I've had for nearly 15 years now? When they do so, they also have to provide nurses, caregivers, equipment, special classrooms...you name it.

A lot of other nations require children to bring their own meals so they don't have to pay for cafeteria and staff.

And then there's one thing that America's schools are now having to pay to provide that NO other nation needs to: armed security guards...and sometimes even metal detectors. Of course that wouldn't have anything to do with the Right's fetish with guns-everywhere-all-the-time...of course not!

In other words, guy, if you want your schools to have all that, then you have to PAY for it. But if you aren't willing to pay for it, then we wind up with situations like Texas does where about 41% of schoolteachers have to take second jobs in order to make ends meet...which means that instead of staying after school to help kids who are struggling in class, much less working on lesson plans and grading tests and homework, they're rushing to get to their second jobs.

If you want first-class schools with all the bells and whistles I listed above, then you have to PAY for it. Otherwise, you're going to get sucky schools.
 
What does that have to do with anything?

Mr.Nick I don't care about you.



Mr.Nick: I don't care.

Yeah you're a ****ing hatemonger authoritarian...

You're doing nothing more than proving my points...

Do you really believe that people should just submit to the FBI??

The only threat here is that good people are telling the feds to go **** off.

The FBI resembles a bunch of SS Nazi's that have total contempt of individual liberties...

Except when the people who are telling the fed to "**** off" are doing so while pointing guns at the Feds, that is called threatening violence againist government agents. That my friend is a crime.

You didn't really read my reply, did you?

I don't know if you've noticed, but most businesses in America don't make anything at all. America's switched over to a service-oriented economy.

AGAIN, can you name a government agency that doesn't spend a very healthy chunk of its funding on buying stuff from corporations? No, you can't.

In fact, guy, do you realize that - except for funds paid directly to personnel and beneficiaries (who then spend their money on the local economy) and for state and local fees and taxes - pretty much ALL of our domestic budget is paid to private business.

That's hundreds of billions of dollars being paid to corporations, guy...so don't tell me that the waste, fraud, and abuse in corporations doesn't directly affect you, the taxpayer - because it sure as heck does.

You have it backwards. It's more like the DMV showing up at your house in SWAT gear when you failed to renew your tags. You probably think that is appropriate too.

The people with SWAT gear were the Bundy supporters

If US Corporations have stopped making 'stuff', what is the government buying from them?

Excluding cases of crony capitalism within this administration, do you have links to any of this?

So the government is using taxpayer money to engage in "waste, fraud, and abuse"? I have little trust in the government either but do you have links to these potential crimes?
 
As a Libertarian, I am disgusted about the conservative backlash at the federal government in this case. While I hate the federal government just as much as the next guy, Bundy is a leech. He violated a federal law, whether he agrees with it or not. Why is this man applauded when he leeches off the federal government, its disgusting. You supporters are what give the conservative movement a bad reputation.

You may not care for Bundy the man but that's not the point. The point is government overreaction to what is a problem easily resolved. The Feds have recently begun to send SWAT teams in for any minor grievance and, finally, a bill has been introduced to put some sort of control over the groups and the bureaucrats who authorize them.
 
Peaceably assembly. Shoving guns in peoples faces to protect a non-existent right? Harassment, law breaking followed by nonsense.

nobody shoved a gun in anyones face.... the agents didn't, nor did the militias.

and don't pretend you give 2 ****s about cattle grazing or law breaking... we've all seen your posts when OWS was running around tearing **** up.... you and nearly every single lefty here jerked each other off for months over that.
...and now, as if my magic, you are totally opposed to a protest that is peaceful ( except for the single tazing incident)


it's like bizarro world here... OWS is unarmed , yet violent.. and all is well.. those folks are heroes!
militia dudes are armed, but peaceful... and you mental giants call em terrorists and thugs, and want the thunder called down on them.
 
Just not getting it, are you?

Was it a conspiracy that someone got a picture of your hillbilly heroes aiming a weapon at the BLM?

It's not illegal to point a gun at someone. Besides, can you really blame them? they're standing up for their rights (both civil and property)....

Also, maybe if the FBI just left them alone they wouldn't have guns pointed at them? ever think about that?
 
He is aiming his gun at feds in that picture. Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

If I'm on ignore, why do you keep responding? :lamo

I highly doubt he could get any of the feds in his sights... he's at an oblique ,without enough room in the crack to sight left.
his alignment is a few clicks left of the furthermost right pylon.

the boy is posin' for the camera

Do you know the definition of "conspiracy?"

Also, I love how you use language like "hillbilly" in a negative fashion while you pretend to be all liberal and ****.

Once again progressives love to hate and label.

Where is the FEMA camp for political dissidents?
