"When a 'forest fire' is lit,
there is no telling which way it will go. It depends on the 'wind', the
'fuel load' and the 'humidity'. The 'wind' is about to blow real hard, the
"fuel load" is huge and the humidity is dropping rapidly. It just takes the right 'match', a
lightning strike, or spontaneous combustion. The question is, what (or
who) will set it off? Could it be Obama Care, illegal
aliens getting amnesty, Cap and Trade, the one-world-order, radical
environmentalism, the brainwashing of our kids, trashing the Constitution by
politicians, or a confrontation with a maverick rancher in
Nevada? Was Jefferson right?
Does a society need a revolution every hundred years? Messy,
but could it be necessary if freedom is to be defended and
maintained?" Ron Ewart
For now, the dust is
settling, the crowds are dispersing and the hot passion of open revolt is slowly
waning, as the warm winds of the coming summer begin to blow across
the Nevada desert and the cows come home to their range, released to their owner
by a government that turned tail and ran when the wild American spirit of
the west raised its head in righteous anger. Whether Nevada rancher
Cliven Bundy was right or wrong under the law, they came by thousands, loaded
for bear, to confront what they considered to be a government gone mad with
power.
