They're squalling toddlers, screaming for attention. Best thing you can do is just walk away until they stop the tantrum.

(13,864 posts)The Malheur is a sanctuary, the fact that outsiders can come in like this and claim it as "theirs" is more than upsetting. As another poster pointed out what these cretins are really doing is attacking the idea of the commons, areas set aside for all people to enjoy, not just a few powerful individuals or corporations. I think these militia types are being manipulated by people like the Koch Brothers who want access to millions of acres of public lands.

Or are they so lazy that they just don't feel like thinking things through?
Or are they so unstable that their anger is doing their thinking for them?

(24,780 posts)They're educated no more than high school yet think they can decide for the whole country what is best by throwing out facts they don't accept or are incapable of understanding.
saltpoint
(50,986 posts)yes. And it's unsettling.
There's something to be said for citizenship. It involves a lot of grown-up investment. And a grown up's thinking cap.
Not seeing a whole lot of it from these Bundy fundies.

(50,986 posts)the spokesmen for the group, but I have no idea if that's who instigated this plan in Oregon.
Ammon himself says that "the Lord was not pleased" with the judicial sentencing for the Hammonds, and that action was required.
I agree -- resentment is deserved for the instigators but I'm pretty disappointed in the followers, too. There's poor choices and then there's disastrous choices, and this one feels to me more like a disastrous choice.

Youre not a 'True Belliever' until all the tears have already been shed, and the Action is the only thing youve got left...THATS when real Protest/Conviction happens. These poor, dumb fuckers weep for their Country, but have NO IDEA who's really responsible for the theft. It's a CON-job worthy of Keyser Fucking Soze.

(16,858 posts)This guy is so unhinged and full of absolute malarkey that he has no idea how eff'd up his position really is. I'd wager this fucktard has never actually read the constitution. This is just sickening and the sad part is there are plenty more like him out there waiting for a similar bullshit cause to pop up so they can strike out against the evils of government. Let's just say these fucktwats are successful, then what? A land with no laws, no authority, no organized support at a national, state, and local level. These shitstains don't want to support the Constitution, they want anarchy. Well, fuck that. The Feds need to shut down all power to this place and ride them out. Let's see how well they've prepared with their rations to survive a winter there. Shut down all roads and access in and out and cut off their supply line. They think they'll stay there for years? I bet it won't be a month. And when they come creeping out, give them jail, not a bullet. What they want is to be a martyr...I refuse to give them the satisfaction and I hope we don't.

(6,133 posts)There are too many variables, and I believe it will Peter out...I hope. But if they do this again and again, I think it increases the chances of things getting ugly.

Jack Rabbit
(45,984 posts)I learned a different Constitution the one that Mr. Ritzheimer talks about. I don't recall the word county in the Constitution at all and I seem to remember something about federal supremacy over the states. My great-grandfather fought in a civil over that concept, and Mr. Ritzheimer's side lost.
Perhaps Mr. Ritzheimer or one of his fellows would like to explain where in the Constitution is found the justification for anything he said. Please show me. I got A's in my civics classes, but I'm old now and getting concerned about my memory, so they could be right and I could be wrong. It's possible I just forgot something.

This numbskull is chewing the scenery in an absurdly melodramatic and infantile effort to make trespassing on a bird sanctuary in the dead of winter look like he's making the Ultimate Sacrifice for his country. Talk about delusions if grandeur!
What a complete and utter asshole.
WhoIsNumberNone
(7,875 posts)Turns out this isn't this guy's first martyrdom. Remember those assholes a few months back who had an Everyone Draw Mohammed art show in (of course) Texas? Turns out this guy organized one right around the same time, and he's on the news crying about how he's going to have to go into hiding now because MUSLIMS! and started a Go Fund Me page to raise $10M to finance his run...
