I guess it is the New York thing. Do you know that you can put a tomato in side of a plastic cube and it will grow into the shape of that cube? Try it this summer. Same thing for someone who grows up in a place like New York City. You come out of there shaped to the city and it's way of life. Like our buddy here, he thinks that he is a free thinking conservative sometimes but his idea of being conservative would go over well in 1980s Soviet Russia.

You want to quibble over details like when someone uses the word state it can have more than one meaning. The state as in the government, any government or as in a actual political entity called a state like Nevada. The Bundy's have their own land with a deed and everything but NWRKR would approve of having it overrun. There is the land that is in the STATE of Nevada that is administered by the state of Nevada, specifically Clark County, on behalf of the federal (THE USA) government. These legal shenanigans go back to the days of Clinton (not Bush as some of you have said) and the Bundy claim goes back 130 years. According to Bundy's daughter Bundy attempted over many years to pay his "fee" to the county but they refused to accept it. Bundy is not cheap or a cheat. He held out a check and the state (governmental entity) refused to accept it.

You didn't say anything about the state, you said he tried to pay it to the COUNTY. Don't make up more bullshit to cover up your earlier bullshit.
Also, whether it was the county or the state he supposedly tried to pay, it does NOT matter. He owes money to the federal government. You cannot avoid paying federal taxes by claiming you tried to pay the state/county instead. If you think otherwise, why don't you try to pay your federal income taxes to the county, and then use that as a defense when the IRS demands payment of your income taxes. Idiot.
And are you saying that Bundy has a DEED to the federal land where he has been grazing his cattle? Post a link and explain how that is possible. Did he get a deed from the Republic of Texas website?
Also, explain how it is possible that Bundy has been trying to pay the WRONG entity (Clark County) for YEARS and could not figure out that he had to pay the federal government instead. Didn't his lawyer tell him? Didn't the county clerks tell him? Didn't the judges in any of the courts he lost in tell him?
Here is an alternative theory. He did not want to pay the federal government, so he made up a lie about trying to pay the county for years and years (as if that is relevant) and YOU were stupid enough to believe him.
Lets go back to when this started. The desert tortoise is supposed to be an endangered species. We know that once a species gets on the list, it is next to impossible to get them off the list. Bureaucracies grow up around protecting the species and they cannot disassemble when they are successful. So they find a reason to continue even if they have to be less than truthful. Such is the case here. There are now so many tortoises that they are having to destroy them. The need to make this area off limits (but you can access it for a fee) has past. Then along come a corrupt politician like Harry Reid. He has been involved in numerous shady land deals around Las Vegas but has avoided conviction. The paperwork has appeared that Reid's son Rory is involved with a Chinese (Chicom) company that is going spend billions of dollars on a solar farm. They need land and in a distribution that has been pulled from the site that land was near and around the Bundy farm.
Harry Reid was trying to sell off, through his son, American soil to the a communist Chinese company but American land owner were standing in his way. Harry Reid deserves more than jail. He deserves a rope for treason.

I don't care about the desert tortoise distraction. The inefficiencies of environmental bureaucracies do not excuse the non-payment of federal fees/taxes.
But here is another constitutional protection that a REAL conservatvie - not a phony redneck conservative - should be worried about
: Equal protection before the law.
What about all of the other ranchers who obeyed the law and paid the federal fee? What to you say to them? Why is it OK to let Bundy off the hook for money he owes, but not the other ranchers?
Why do you think that selective enforcement of federal tax laws is a conservative principal, moron?
