The Day the Law Died

A view of the Bundy affair from a resident of nearest town:

So, good job, everyone. The tea party has eliminated the rule of law, militarized the Gold Butte region with armed civilian militias, saved those poor starving cows to wander the desert for inadequate food and water, enhanced our business climate with threats of violence, put us on the map of every nut with a gun who is itching to fight for “liberty and justice” AND established Cliven Bundy as the face of the Virgin Valley. All in one week.

And would it surprise anyone to learn that the Republicans in the primary for Cliven Bundy’s congressional district (NV-4) are already falling over themselves to show that they will carry Bundy’s crazy ideas to Washington?

Bundy is the GOP and The Tea Party and a clone of everyone of their drooling hyenas they pander to. I thought the GOTP hated government handouts. Ok. What’s that? Oh. Not if they get them. But of course. It’s only fraud if the other side does it. Piss off.

Welp. They’re going to have to do something. I really can’t wait to see the whiney blubbering on Fox News when it happens.

In interviews, Bundy had used the language of the “sovereign citizen” movement as a rallying call, beckoning passionate support from members of the Oath Keepers, the White Mountain Militia and the Praetorian Guard. (The Guardian, 04-13-2014)

Per Forbes’ What is a Sovereign Citizen (02-13-2012)

If you’re a member of the sovereign citizen movement, your approach is a bit different. You start by looking for a combination of quotes, definitions, court cases, the Bible, Internet websites, and so on that justify how you can ignore the disliked law without any legal consequences. Be imaginative. Pull a line from the 1215 version of the Magna Carta, a definition from a 1913 legal dictionary, a quote from a founding father or two, and put it in the blender with some official-sounding Supreme Court case excerpts you found on like-minded websites. Better yet, find someone else online who disliked that same law and pay them $150 for a three-ring binder filled with their word salad research.

As of early 2012, the results stacked up like this:

Between 9/11/2001 and mid-2012, Muslim extremists have successfully pulled off various plots on US soil, resulting in 17 deaths. In comparison, non-Islamic extremists accounted for 56 deaths, with more than half of these murders committed by right wing extremists.

Also back from 2012, a chronicle of right wing violence. Two years later, it’s running with a head full of steam.
