Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

yes, I caught the coverage after talk radio was yakking about the wake of destruction the BLM and supporting agencies left the ranch/region. Kinda proves these government thugs had no intention of protecting anything, it is government's interest in only stealing... stealing property and the land to control the future.
I mean look at the logic... no expense is too much for government to rob or destroy. They (.gov) spent millions just to recoupe thousands and look how humble government is to it's citizens, they sent over 200 agents in military garb and sniper rifles, no fly zones, halting all traffic on a interstate, confiscating and destroying cell phones... PLUS the situation wasn't defused because of negotiations, it was defused due to the fear of THEIR own livelihood and inciting the country to realize they live under brutal authoritarian Fascists.
If anything, this situation has proved the government is nothing but a dictatorship backed by deadly force... no different than the dictatorships in the banana republics, just more polished and cleverly propagandized.

Why? Are Women not affected by these abuses? I know, I'm old school too. I don't like the idea myself. However, it is not like they are unaffected. They have just as much at stake. I know some powerful women. Some that are none violent that would put themselves at the front for just his stated reason. Others, I would rather have a coupla hundreds of yards back.
Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told local TV station KRNV that the showdown wasn’t over. “We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it,” said Reid. “So it’s not over.” How involved is Reid with the drama at the Bundy ranch? The Washington Times reports:
Speculation on Mr. Reid’s role in last week’s confrontation at the ranch has been rife, given his prominent position as Nevada’s elder statesman and his ties to BLM director Neil Kornze.
Mr. Kornze, 35, served for eight years on the Senate leader’s staff before joining the BLM in 2011. He was the Mr. Reid’s pick to head the agency, and his final confirmation was April 8 as the roundup at the Bundy ranch was underway.
In an updated statement Saturday, Mr. Kornze said the cattle gather was halted “because of our grave concern about the safety of employees and members of the public.”
Mr. Reid also has been accused of attempting to shut down the ranch in order to move ahead with two nearby solar energy projects, an accusation denied Monday by the senator’s press aide.
Reid spokeswoman Kristen Orthman told KLAS-TV in Las Vegas that “there is no truth to the conspiracy theories that are being pushed by right-wing media outlets.”

Kirsten Powers was defiantly in Cliven Bundy's corner on Bill O's show. She stated that the BLM deliberately took away his grazing rights and now are coming back to destroy him over what amounts to be simply grass.

And I like this here:
Why does anyone care who's on the front lines if the government has no intention of shooting?
my front line will probably be up the road a few miles....
I think the problem would have been was how to hold them back.A soundbite with Sheriff Mack was played multiple times on Fox News as well featured on The Blaze. That soundbite which is all of 10 seconds explains a strategy of placing women in the line of fire if necessary.
“We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front,” he said. “If they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.”
During his exclusive interview with Sheriff Richard Mack on Monday, Ben Swann asked the sheriff about that soundbite. Did protestors place women where they could be in the line of fire?
“It was a tactical ploy that I was trying to get them to use.” says Mack. Mack goes on to clarify that the ploy was not adopted and that he was not on the scene during the standoff.
[...]
Sheriff Mack says several women he personally knows who were on the scene volunteered to move to the front of the line. Video from Infowars, which we have shown you gives a very clear picture of exactly what was happening. It is important to note for the purpose of clarity that no formation of women and children in the front line actually took place.

Glenn Beck pipes up and shows his true colors again. He's comin around....
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014...y-wall-street/
He basically also said to just do what the feds say because it was God's will or some similar nonsense.“We did some research online with PsyID today, and found that there’s about 10 or 15 percent of the people who are talking about this online that are truly frightening,” Beck said on his television program. “They don’t care what the facts are. They just want a fight.”
Beck said there are many “decent, small-government proponents from groups like the Tea Party” supporting Bundy, and they need to be aware that the controversy has drawn “violent, anti-government” individuals who are “the right’s version of Occupy Wall Street,” as well.

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
So says a member of the biggest criminal gang on the face of the earth, that walk away from their crimes every day.We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it
$#@! $#@!ing you, Harry.
Go applaud your killer Praetorians some more.

I've served with some pretty badass female MPs (Air Force SF members) who would put the bad guy in the ground as quick as the males. We all respected each other and didn't treat each other differently. Technique is technique... and with leverage, most can be taken down with ease—during an apprehension maneuver.

http://glenbradley.net/share/aleksan...nitsyn_4-t.gif “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
At least the comments there show people's eyes have been opened. Most of them are completely disappointed in Beck. Thankfully!!
But, honestly...
I imagine the next time the FEDS set up one of these confrontations - they WILL fire a shot. They will not let another crisis go to waste.

No,,as I said women were involved from the start.. And they have a stake. They certainly have every right to be there and to fight as well.
But the idea to put women on the front line as a human shield or a propaganda tool is obscene. And I am glad such an idea was rejected.
I would like to know who these "We" were. They need to be marginalized out of any position of leadership.“We were actually strategizing to put all the women up at the front,” he said. “If they are going to start shooting, it’s going to be women that are going to be televised all across the world getting shot by these rogue federal officers.”

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Good interview here. http://www.westernjournalism.com/foo...VV4F1Qd1mqk.99
Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.
--Albert J. Nock
i wouldn't mind a woman being on the front line as long as she had control over 3 fire breathing dragons...
just me.
And a very stupid thing to say. And even more stupid to think.
And from a purely tactical standpoint,, if battle was the intention (which it was not in this situation)
I would have any fighting women in a second line reinforcing role,, because after seeing a few of their men fall they would need no encouragement and would bring hell with them.
