Nevada Cattle Rancher Wins 'Range War' With Feds

A Nevada cattle rancher appears to have won his week-long battle with the federal government over a controversial cattle roundup that had led to the arrest of several protesters.

Cliven Bundy went head to head with the Bureau of Land Management over the removal of hundreds of his cattle from federal land, where the government said they were grazing illegally.

Bundy claims his herd of roughly 900 cattle have grazed on the land along the riverbed near Bunkerville, 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, since 1870 and threatened a "range war" against the BLM on the Bundy Ranch website after one of his sons was arrested while protesting the removal of the cattle.

"I have no contract with the United States government," Bundy said. "I was paying grazing fees for management and that's what BLM was supposed to be, land managers and they were managing my ranch out of business, so I refused to pay."

The federal government had countered that Bundy "owes the American people in excess of $1 million " in unpaid grazing fees and "refuses to abide by the law of land, despite many opportunities over the last 20 years to do so."

However, today the BLM said it would not enforce a court order to remove the cattle and was pulling out of the area.

They did the same thing to the Branch Davidians.....its just a strategy to build up and organize a force to make those folks do right

Of course, because you just can't handle the idea that maybe the federal government admitted it was wrong and is moving on... that'd blow your whole 'government is never wrong, government never loses' bullshit youve been spewing on here for years....

you seem to have a strange delight in seeing the rights of average citizens get trampled on by the government.

luckily for them you literally have a 100% failure rate at guessing the outcome of pretty much anything in the news.

Are you really comparing the branch dividians to a cattle rancher???

it was the rancher himself that initially screamed about waco and ruby ridge.

Wonder why?

Uh, not exactly. If memory serves me correctly, they lit their asses up like marshmallows on a stick.

Vince - does your husband know about your hatred of whites?

He just hates anyone that dares stand up for themselves.

Probably because he himself is a coward.

Please tell me more about the story. It seems like it should be a non issue.

Has the man's cattle been grazing on property that is not his? I would think that the government should have every right to tell him to fuck off of the land.

No - his family has bern there since 1887 and the thug govt has been trying to run ranchers off systematically

This post is a prime example of ignorance on fire. Shizzo, ...there's a heckuva lot more to it than that.
There are a few threads on the issue you might want to read through to get a more accurate & informed perspective.

Hey Chris, don't be so harsh, ...I mean Reid's joint venture deal is being impaired.

Exactly why I wanted someone to explain it to me. I was just going by the bare bones of it all.

Someone give me the cliffs please.

Ok, but things have changed since 1887. This is not a free land system anymore.

People buy the land that they want to use these days. That is just the way it is.

EXACTLY!!! And when did the Federal Government buy the land, ...and from whom?

Well....... somebody obviously owns the land, and it isn't the rancher. Sorry guys, but this is easy for me. The guy has 900 cows munching up on someone else's land.

If he doesn't own the land, get him the fuck out. It really is that simple.

Easy for you since you know nothing about this matter

What is it about then? What am I missing?

A ton

HAHAHAHA

Clive Bundy wins one for the good guys.

That rancher has more claim to that land than the Federal Government.

Read up on the issue before throwing in your two cents.

This battle may have been won, ...but the war is far from over.
I have a feeling it's just beginning. Something tells me there'll be an even bigger push to dis-arm the people.

It's encouraging to note there were many law enforcement officers standing in support of Bundy. 

Your republic is hanging on by a thread, ...but it's still hanging.
