True enough. There are plenty of nutjobs out there who think that Red Dawn was a documentary.

Because thereās no reason to try.
You have stated a true fact. Some would consider it to be obvious, but the modern conservative movement is invested in willful ignorance.
Hasnāt always been that way, but I donāt see them changing anytime soon.

More regulatory capture. If you canāt accomplish it at the federal level, devolve regulation to the local, āmore controllableā level.
This is what happens when you elect people who hate government to the government.

"Chaffetz accused those federal officials of being āmore Rambo and less Andy Griffith than I would like.ā
The Oregon occupiers are more Timothy McVeigh, and less Otis the drunk, than I would like.

Just the other day, Chaffetz ātook aimā at the EPA for failing Flint, never mind this clown car circus passed laws that stripped the EPA of authority to do almost anything about clean water at the state or local level and transferred authority to the states to govern themselves. I didnāt slog through all the comments and if someone posted similar, apologies.

Ten years ago when I was researching land in the area I discovered that in addition to logging there was also gold, silver and coal mining taking place over the past 200 years. In the 60ās when the original family split most of the land into estate lots they left a large tract for themselves as well as another tract comprising the old farm buildings etc. The old farm is what I purchased. Since mining takes lots of water I made sure to purchase mineral as well as water rights. The family would only sell those rights as a package deal. Therefore I own 100% of those rights including those of this ass. Iām not a vindictive person and therefore offered a quit claim deed to every owner. This man and a half dozen of his pals refused, so now if he goes much farther I just may have to do something. Already one of his buddies has found he was unable to sell the rock below the frost line to landscapers looking for large boulders. I believe Iām in the drivers seat.

Jason Chaffetz = Glory Hound
Theyāre the same corners that wanted this idiot legislation as well.
If we do this, within a dozen years, the Koch Brothers, and other rich, exploitive billionaires and corporations will own all the BLM and National Forest land in America. It will then be PRIVATE land, and there will be NO TRESPASSING signs posted everywhere; and you may not even WANT to ātrespassā on it anymore. Fracking, Drilling, Logging, Pipelines running everywhere. These billionaires and huge corporate entities have been trying to get their hands on all this land for a very long time. The states cannot afford to police, control, or manage these āpublicā lands and soā¦it would just be a matter of time before they would be sold off to the highest bidder!
Wake up, America. These lands belong to usā¦ALL of us! It is our job to protect what is left of OUR public lands.This is nothing more than the latest wrinkle in the Republicansās push to give EVERYTHING to the rich and stick it to the people. When do they have enough, already!!?

Fine, as long as the Feds give 0 support during wildfires, floods, droughts and dustbowls. Iām down with it. Letās all sit back, point fingers and laugh when Dust Bowl 2 happens but this time they can stumble to the local sheriffās office for help.
This is the 21st Century GOPās version of Wayne La Pierreās āJack Booted Thugsā.
Does the GOP really want to help sovereign citizens, drug traffickers, terrorists and the Bundy loons at the bird sanctuary?
"HOUSTON, May 10ā Following is the letter of resignation sent last week by former President George Bush to the National Rifle Association: May 3, 1995
Dear Mr. Washington,
I was outraged when, even in the wake of the Oklahoma City tragedy, Mr. Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of N.R.A., defended his attack on federal agents as ājack-booted thugs.ā To attack Secret Service agents or A.T.F. people or any government law enforcement people as āwearing Nazi bucket helmets and black storm trooper uniformsā wanting to āattack law abiding citizensā is a vicious slander on good people.
Al Whicher, who served on my [ United States Secret Service ] detail when I was Vice President and President, was killed in Oklahoma City. He was no Nazi. He was a kind man, a loving parent, a man dedicated to serving his country ā and serve it well he did.

There is ārepresenting the views of the extremists in your baseā and there is ābeing held hostage by your baseā
With The Rump for a frontrunner, Republicans feel a greatly diminished need to act embarrassed by their folk hero Cliven Bundyās tendency to drop N-bombs.
Weāve sunk a long way since Miranda v Arizona. Ernesto Miranda obviously had no intention of making sure the police clearly explained a suspectsā legal rights, while he was kidnapping and raping his young victim. Equally clearly, neither political party elevated Ernesto Miranda to folk hero status, and they certainly didnāt change the law to limit who can enforce kidnapping and rape laws.
Fast forward to the Bundy clan. Dissatisfied with the pace of judicial activism, the Bundys became judicial terrorists. Their crimes were specifically premeditated to get standing in the federal court system, where they planned to have the BLM declared unconstitutional under a cockamamie reading of Article I Section 8 Clause 17.
Sadly for the terrorists, Ammonās Bag of Dicks v. Bureau of Land Management criminal defense died with Justice Scalia. So naturally, the Republicans are stepping up with some legislation!
Introduce all the inane legislation you want, but the chances of passage (even it it got through the senate with Democratic filibuster power) is less than zero.
Go back to repealing Obamacare, nitwits.
