maybe a bit over the top, but what's the point of the Hobbesian Leviathian if it doesnt exist to drop a BIG Hammer?

... they fell over them. Hartmann gives them too much credit.

I just cannot stand it when we legitimate the crap of a bunch of yahoos, when any non-white group who challenges us is clubbed or bombed into submission before you can blink. What makes these insurgents any different from the ones in Syria or Afghanistan? I'll tell you: the latter actually have a legitimate gripe or two.

just want to steal the damn land so they won't have to pay grazing fees or abide by use regulations. I'm sure they'd also like the chance to sell it to resource exploiters. All the asinine patriot rhetoric is a diversion. Next thing you know this Bundy fucker will claim he doesn't have to repay the half million dollars he borrowed from the American people because it really belonged to him all along. It's the same scam his old man ran over grazing fees.

These guys are always on about how "county sheriffs" are the highest authority. Sounds basically feudal to me.
