How did they ever become "public lands" (so called)?
This is intended as a hit piece, but I can't think of a better recommendation.
The only criticism the author can muster is to breathlessly repeat Paul's goal, as if the problem with it is self-evident.
"Of course you can't sell off the third of the country owned and mismanaged by the federal government! Like, comon! Like, pfft."
Correct me if im wrong but Bundy thinks the land cant be sold off in the first place since it belongs to the states or to him specifically. There is no land to sell in his mind
I don't know about the Bundy case in particular, but in general the overarching goal is to get all this lands into private hands.Originally Posted by Warlord
In some cases, perhaps with Bundy, that may mean recognizing current private users of the land as homesteaders; in other cases, it may mean selling the land.
Let me guess without reading the article: Rand Paul wants to sell the public lands cheap to ruthless corporations that will leave them pillaged, toxic, and abandoned for generations, while lining their pockets with obscene wealth.

Ah, but you forgot several key insights:
1. Koch brothers
2. Clown car
3. RuPaul
4. Rethuglican
There, now you have a typical leftist "argument."
The government already lets the world's biggest mining companies go out there and tear down mountains and pile the rocks in valleys. All the time, all over the place.
Why the corporate welfare? Why not make them buy it first? Why not make Civen Bundy buy the grazing land his family have been using for generations? Why the hell not?
Do these ignoramuses seriously think all of that stuff is National Parks? Do they think this whole gazillion acres of flyover country is all Yellowstone?

"The Patriarch"
In short, yes, yes they do.
I'll bet you not 5% of the population is aware that the FedGov owns all this land.
Homework assignment: try telling somebody that the FedGoc owns 85% of all land in Nevada, I'll bet they won't believe you.
That's approaching the percentage of Israel that the Israeli government owns. And that's an openly socialist government founded to support the kibbutz system.
Hmm, interesting, I didn't know that.
